Website Security Scan

Many website security issues start as configuration drift: a missing header, an expired certificate, an unexpected redirect, or a stale DNS record. A basic scan gives teams a repeatable external view of those signals.

• Small configuration regressions can affect users even when application code has not changed.
• External scans help teams find issues visible to browsers and visitors.
• Repeatable checks create a baseline for release, handover, and ongoing monitoring workflows.

• Checks externally observable website configuration across HTTPS, headers, cookies, DNS, redirects, robots, and sitemap availability where applicable.
• Groups findings with evidence such as endpoint, observed value, and scan context.
• Keeps basic scanning separate from manual penetration testing, authenticated testing, source review, and exploit validation.
• Requires appropriate ownership or authorization before active scanning.

• HTTPS works but HTTP is still reachable without a redirect.
• Security headers vary between the home page and application routes.
• Cookies are set without expected Secure, HttpOnly, or SameSite attributes.
• DNS records include stale service references.
• robots.txt or sitemap behavior does not match the intended public site structure.

• Fix high-confidence configuration issues at the layer that owns them: application, CDN, reverse proxy, DNS provider, or hosting platform.
• Retest after each change and keep evidence with the ticket or release record.
• Use manual review for findings that depend on authentication, user roles, business logic, or exploitability.
• Document accepted risks so future scans do not create duplicate triage work.
