✅ HTTP Security Headers Audit

HTTP security headers are a critical line of defense for web applications. They help mitigate common attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and data injection. Our platform checks for the presence of the following essential headers:

  • Content-Security-Policy (CSP): Prevents cross-site scripting (XSS) and other code injection attacks by specifying which sources of content are allowed to load on your website.
  • Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS): Ensures that browsers only interact with your website over HTTPS, preventing protocol downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.
  • X-Frame-Options: Protects against clickjacking attacks by controlling whether your website can be embedded in an iframe.
  • X-Content-Type-Options: Prevents browsers from MIME-sniffing a response away from the declared content type, reducing exposure to drive-by download attacks.
  • Referrer-Policy: Controls how much referrer information is included in requests, enhancing user privacy and security.
  • Permissions-Policy: Allows you to control which browser features and APIs can be used on your website, reducing the risk of misuse.

By ensuring these headers are properly configured, you can significantly enhance the security of your web application and protect against a wide range of vulnerabilities.

✅ SSL/TLS Certificate Analysis

SSL/TLS certificates are essential for securing HTTPS connections. Our platform performs a thorough analysis of your SSL/TLS certificates to ensure they are properly configured and secure. Here's what we check:

  • Certificate Validity: Verifies if the SSL/TLS certificate is valid and not expired. Expired certificates can lead to security warnings and loss of user trust.
  • Weak Encryption Protocols: Detects the use of outdated and insecure protocols like TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, which are vulnerable to attacks.
  • Insecure Ciphers: Identifies weak or insecure ciphers used in HTTPS connections, such as those with low encryption strength or known vulnerabilities.
  • Certificate Chain: Ensures the certificate chain is complete and properly configured, preventing issues like incomplete chain errors.
  • Certificate Authority (CA): Validates that the certificate is issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
  • Mixed Content: Checks for mixed content (HTTP resources on HTTPS pages), which can compromise the security of your website.

By analyzing these aspects, we help you ensure that your SSL/TLS certificates are secure, up-to-date, and compliant with modern security standards.

✅ Open Ports & Network Scanning

Open ports can expose your server to potential attacks if not properly secured. Our platform scans your server for open ports and identifies unnecessary or vulnerable services. Here's what we do:
