HackGuardX — Find your vulnerabilities before hackers do

Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack could cost your business thousands of pounds, expose sensitive customer data, disrupt operations and leave you facing serious regulatory fines.

Hackers don't just target large corporations. Small businesses are targets too, and your website, cloud infrastructure or code could already contain vulnerabilities waiting to be exploited.

Find your weaknesses before hackers do.

HackGuardX continuously scans your digital infrastructure for security vulnerabilities, helping you identify and fix threats before they become costly breaches.

Enterprise-grade cybersecurity. Built for small businesses. Without the enterprise price tag.

Start with a free external exposure check. No credit card required.
Active scans require verified domain ownership.

Your business is a target, even if you're small.

Verified statistics from the UK Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT), NCSC, and Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

GOV.UK DSIT Official Survey
50%

of UK businesses experienced a cyber security breach or attack in the last 12 months

Rising to 70% among medium businesses and 74% among large businesses—representing roughly 719,000 UK businesses impacted in a single year.

UK Government DSIT Cyber Security Breaches Survey
Primary Attack Vector
84%

of all identified cyber attacks against UK businesses involved phishing or credential targeting

Followed by impersonation of organisations in emails or online (35%) and malware/ransomware infections—highlighting why email, M365, and perimeter hygiene are critical.

02 / UNSEEN EXPOSURE VECTORS

The vulnerabilities you can't see are the ones you can't fix.

HackGuardX replaces fragmented enterprise tools and once-a-year penetration test snapshots with continuous, non-destructive verification across all 10 layers of your business.

All 10 Capabilities
01 / WEBSITE & EDGECritical

Exposed Admin Interfaces

Forgotten /wp-admin, phpMyAdmin, staging dashboards, or cloud management ports left reachable on the public internet without IP restriction or MFA.

Impact: Automated bots brute-force credentials within hours, gaining administrative control over customer data and website content.
02 / WEBSITE & EDGEHigh

Outdated Web Components

Unpatched CMS plugins, end-of-life PHP/Node runtimes, or web server versions with publicly documented remote code execution (RCE) exploits.

Impact: Opportunistic scanners compromise your website automatically, injecting payment skimmers or defacing your brand.
03 / CLOUD & STORAGECritical

Misconfigured Cloud Storage

AWS S3 buckets, Azure Blob containers, or database snapshots configured with public read permissions or permissive cross-account policies.

Impact: Confidential client contracts, passports, invoices, and backups become indexable and downloadable by anyone.
04 / CODE & PACKAGESHigh

Vulnerable Open-Source Dependencies

Transitive npm, Python, PHP, or .NET packages containing known exploitable CVEs buried deep inside application lockfiles.

Impact: Attackers exploit a known library flaw to bypass authentication or execute arbitrary commands on your server.
05 / CODE & PACKAGESCritical

Leaked API Keys & Secrets

Hardcoded Stripe keys, AWS tokens, or database URLs committed to GitHub history or bundled into front-end JavaScript.

Impact: Immediate unauthorised access to production databases, payment gateways, and cloud infrastructure.
06 / IDENTITY & APICritical

Overprivileged Cloud & M365 Identities

Service accounts and staff users granted wildcard Administrator roles, legacy mail protocols enabled, or hidden external inbox forwarding rules.

Impact: A single phished password escalates into full tenant takeover and Business Email Compromise (invoice fraud).
07 / IDENTITY & APIHigh

Weak Authentication & Session Controls

Missing MFA enforcement, permissive password policies, insecure session cookies, or unthrottled login and password-reset endpoints.

Impact: Credential stuffing attacks hijack legitimate customer and staff accounts at scale without triggering alarms.
08 / IDENTITY & APICritical

Insecure APIs & Broken Access Control

REST or GraphQL endpoints lacking object-level authorisation checks (IDOR), rate limiting, or strict input validation.

Impact: Authenticated users or external scripts can enumerate and download records belonging to other customers.
03 / COMPLETE 10-ENGINE PLATFORM SPECIFICATION

One platform. Every critical layer of your security.

Continuous Testing98.4% verified • Zero downtime • Daily / Weekly

TLS protocol downgrades, weak cipher suites, and expiring certificates
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) wildcard misconfigurations

06 / UK INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS & GOVERNANCE

1. What exactly is HackGuardX and who is it built for?

HackGuardX is a continuous cybersecurity platform built specifically for UK small and medium-sized businesses (1–100 employees), SaaS startups, software agencies, and MSPs. It unifies external attack surface monitoring, website and API security testing, cloud and Microsoft 365 configuration reviews, and GitHub code/dependency scanning into a single dashboard with plain-English remediation advice.

2. Will HackGuardX's security scans slow down or break my live website?

No. Our automated checks are strictly non-destructive and rate-limited for production safety. Passive checks only inspect public DNS records, TLS handshakes, and HTTP headers. Active checks (unlocked only after domain ownership verification) use safe, non-mutating requests that never submit destructive payloads, corrupt databases, or flood your server.

3. Why do you require domain ownership verification before running deep scans?

Under the UK Computer Misuse Act 1990 and responsible security testing standards, active vulnerability scanning must only ever be performed with explicit authorisation from the asset owner. Our Free Exposure Check performs strictly passive, public header and DNS inspection. Before any active web or API testing runs, you verify ownership via a DNS TXT record, meta tag, or verified cloud/GitHub integration.

4. Does HackGuardX replace an annual manual penetration test?

HackGuardX complements—and for many small businesses, bridges the 364-day gap between—manual penetration tests. A manual pen test costs £5,000–£15,000+ and gives you a snapshot of a single week. HackGuardX runs continuously from £39/mo, catching misconfigurations, new CVEs, expired certificates, and code flaws the week they appear. If an enterprise client requires a CREST/tiger-scheme manual test, HackGuardX ensures you pass first time without paying for retests.

5. Do we need an in-house security team or DevOps engineer to use HackGuardX?

Not at all. Every finding includes two views: a plain-English business summary explaining the real-world risk, and a step-by-step fix guide you can either apply yourself in minutes or forward directly to your web developer, IT support provider, or MSP.

6. How does HackGuardX connect to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Microsoft 365 safely?

We use strictly read-only configuration roles (such as AWS SecurityAudit, Azure Reader, and Microsoft Graph Directory/Policy Reader scopes). HackGuardX cannot modify your infrastructure, cannot read the contents of staff emails or SharePoint documents, and cannot alter production data.
