MBGuards is a leading AI-powered web security scanning platform that analyzes your website for security vulnerabilities, SSL issues, security header misconfigurations, and more. It provides comprehensive reports with actionable AI-generated recommendations to help protect your website from cyber threats.

Is MBGuards free to use?

Yes! MBGuards offers a completely free plan that includes 5 security scans per month, 1 website, and basic AI analysis. No credit card required. We also offer Pro ($99/month) and Enterprise ($249/month) plans with advanced features like unlimited scans, scheduled monitoring, and priority support.

How does website security scanning work?

MBGuards uses passive, non-intrusive scanning techniques to analyze your website externally. We check SSL certificates, security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), technology stack, DNS configuration, exposed files, and more - all without sending any malicious payloads to your server or affecting performance.

Do I need to install anything on my server?

No installation required! MBGuards works entirely externally and analyzes your website from the outside. You just need to verify domain ownership through a simple DNS TXT record, and our AI-powered scanner handles everything else automatically.

What security issues does MBGuards detect?

MBGuards detects a wide range of security issues including: SSL/TLS vulnerabilities, missing or misconfigured security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options), outdated technologies with known vulnerabilities, exposed sensitive files (.env, .git, backups), DNS misconfigurations (SPF, DMARC, DNSSEC), and provides AI-powered recommendations for fixing each issue.

How long does a security scan take?

Most MBGuards security scans complete within 1-2 minutes. Complex websites with many pages may take slightly longer. You will receive a comprehensive security report with AI-generated recommendations as soon as the scan is complete.

Can I scan websites I do not own?

No. MBGuards requires domain ownership verification before scanning to ensure ethical use. You must add a DNS TXT record to prove you own or have authorization to scan the domain. This is an industry-standard security practice.

What is the difference between Free, Pro, and Enterprise plans?

Free plan: 5 scans/month, 1 website, basic AI analysis. Pro plan ($99/month): 100 scans/month, 10 websites, advanced AI, email alerts, scheduled scans, PDF reports. Enterprise plan ($249/month): Unlimited scans and websites, premium AI, API access, auto-fix capabilities, priority support with SLA.

Does MBGuards check SSL certificates?

Yes! MBGuards performs comprehensive SSL/TLS analysis including: certificate validity and expiration dates, certificate chain verification, protocol version checks (TLS 1.2/1.3), cipher suite security assessment, and HTTPS redirect configuration.

What are security headers and why do they matter?

Security headers are HTTP response headers that provide security instructions to browsers. Key headers include: Content-Security-Policy (CSP) to prevent XSS attacks, Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS, X-Frame-Options to prevent clickjacking, and X-Content-Type-Options to prevent MIME sniffing. MBGuards checks all these and provides fix recommendations.
