BadgerScan
Run a free website security scan: DNS, email security, TLS and HTTP headers, graded in seconds. No login required.
Passive checks only. We read public data and never test or exploit your site.
A clear grade, not a wall of jargon
Every scan returns a single letter grade and a plain-language breakdown of exactly what is solid and what needs attention, ranked so you know what to fix first.
- One headline grade you can act on
- Green, amber and red so nothing is ambiguous
- Specific findings, not vague warnings

BadgerScan, answered
Is BadgerScan really free?+
Yes. The external scan, your letter grade and the full breakdown are free with no login and no limit on the number of scans. BadgerScan Pro is an optional paid upgrade for monitoring and alerts.
Does BadgerScan hack or attack my site?+
No. The free scan uses passive checks only. It reads publicly available information the same way any visitor or search engine can, and never tests, probes or exploits your systems.
What does BadgerScan check?+
Your DNS configuration, email security (SPF, DMARC and DKIM), TLS certificate, HTTP security headers, common exposed files, and publicly known CVEs tied to the software your site runs.
How is BadgerScan Pro different from the free scan?+
Free is a one-time snapshot you run yourself. Pro watches continuously, alerts you when something changes, tracks your grade over time, covers multiple domains, and adds deeper checks and remediation guidance.
Who is behind BadgerScan?+
BadgerScan is built by CyberBadger, a managed IT and cybersecurity company serving Hamilton, Burlington and the surrounding area. If a scan surfaces something you want fixed, we can help.
