Security Check

Most small-business sites are missing the basic response headers browsers use to block the most common attacks — not through any mistake, but because default hosting does not switch them on. A free scanner hands you a letter grade and a wall of jargon, then leaves you to fix it. I read the whole site, tell you in plain English what is exposed, and apply the fix.

Service · eight headers read against the OWASP standard · a plain-English report · the fix applied, usually same day

Open any small-business website's response headers and you will usually find the same thing: none of the protections browsers have offered for a decade are switched on. Not through neglect — default hosting simply does not turn them on, and nobody ever had a reason to look.

The gap is quiet, and it is real. Missing headers let a page be framed inside a lookalike scam, let injected scripts run in a page your customers trust, and let a visitor be downgraded off a secure connection. They also turn up now in insurance questionnaires, buyer due-diligence and partner security reviews, where a single missing setting can stall a renewal or a deal.

The tools that read these headers are free, and they stop at a grade. I read the whole site, write the result in plain English, apply the fix at your edge or server, and re-check it monthly as the site changes. And I am clear about the line: this is a header audit, not a penetration test. It catches the common, cheap-to-fix exposures, and names the deeper work it does not cover.

How it works

  1. Your site is read, header by headerThe five core response headers and three hardening headers, checked against the OWASP Secure Headers standard. Measured facts, not an opinion, and the same check every time.
  2. You get a one-page reportEvery protection, present or missing, in plain English: what each one stops, and what a missing one lets through. No jargon dump.
  3. I apply the fix, and keep watchingThe headers are set at your edge or server — no redesign, no downtime, usually the same day. A monthly re-check confirms it stays clean as the site changes.

What the report tells you

The five that matterEnforced HTTPS, a content-security-policy, a MIME-sniffing guard, a referrer policy, and a clickjacking guard — the headers that stop script injection, a downgraded connection, and your site being framed inside a scam page.
Three more for hardeningA permissions policy and two cross-origin isolations. Recommended, not urgent — and named so you know the difference.
Where the line isThis is a header audit, and it is honest about what it does not test: whether the policy is tuned tightly, your TLS and certificate, logins, injection, or the application's own logic. A deep penetration test is a separate, larger job I will scope or refer.

Questions

Isn't this what a free scanner does?
A free scanner reads the headers and grades them. It does not read the rest of the site, explain the result in plain English, or fix anything. This does all three.
Will the fix break my site?
No. The protections are added at the edge or in your server configuration. Nothing about the site's content or design changes, and there is no downtime.
Do you need access to my site?
To report, no — the check reads what your site already sends to every visitor. To apply the fix, yes: access to your hosting or CDN, or I hand your developer the exact settings to paste in.
Is this a penetration test?
No, and it does not pretend to be. It catches the common, cheap-to-fix exposures in a site's response headers. A full penetration test — TLS, authentication, injection, application logic — is a separate engagement.
