The door you don't know is open

When people picture a business being hacked, they imagine a genius in a dark room typing furiously. The reality is far less cinematic — and far more uncomfortable.
Most break-ins to online businesses start with something embarrassingly simple: an admin panel left at its default address, a plugin that hasn't been updated in two years, a backup file sitting in a public folder, a test account with the password "test123" that nobody deleted.
Why nobody notices
These doors are invisible from the inside. Your site works fine. Your customers buy fine. Nothing looks broken — because nothing is broken, yet. The door just sits there, open, waiting for an automated scanner to walk by. And those scanners never sleep: every public website on the internet is probed thousands of times per day by bots looking for exactly these mistakes.
The expensive part isn't the fix
Fixing an open door usually takes less than an hour. What's expensive is finding it after someone has walked through: customer data leaked, payment pages skimmed, your domain sending spam, lawyers, refunds, and the quiet exodus of customers who no longer trust you.
60% of small businesses that suffer a serious breach close within six months. Not because the technical damage was unfixable — because the trust damage was.
What we do differently
We look at your business the way those bots do — from the outside, checking the same doors in the same order. The difference: we tell you what we find, in plain language, before anyone else walks in.
A first look is free and takes 24 hours. If everything is closed, you sleep better. If something is open, you find out from us — not from your customers.
