Is Your Website Leaking Data? Scan It in 3 Minutes for Free with NetworkBolt

Cyber threats don't wait for business hours, and they certainly don’t care whether you run a multi-million-dollar enterprise or a local shop. Every single day, automated bots crisscross the internet searching for misconfigured web servers, missing security headers, and software loopholes to exploit.

Most site owners don't realize something is wrong until Google displays a stark red warning to their visitors or customer accounts get compromised.

To help you uncover security risks before attackers do, NetworkBolt is launching our Free Online Website Security Scanner. Powered by the trusted OWASP ZAP core engine, it provides a safe, domain-verified way to test your site and get clear action items in minutes.

Why Ownership Verification Comes First

If you have ever tried online security tools, you might have noticed a common problem: unverified tools either run superficial checks or get flagged as suspicious activity by hosting providers.

NetworkBolt approaches security with an ownership-first model. Before any scan executes, you verify that you control the domain. This protects your hosting reputation, ensures compliance, and allows us to run accurate checks safely.

Setting up takes less than three minutes:

1. Add a DNS TXT Record: Type in your domain name at NetworkBolt Security to get a custom verification string. Add this as a TXT record in your DNS settings.
2. Verify DNS: Click to confirm. NetworkBolt checks your DNS records to confirm ownership.
3. Run Your Free Scan: Instantly launch a passive security check with zero risk to your live site uptime.

What the Scanner Looks For

Our free scan uses OWASP ZAP 2.17.0 to perform non-disruptive, passive security evaluations. It listens to how your web application responds without aggressively probing or breaking functionality.

Here is what gets checked:

• Missing Security Headers: Ensures essential protection layers like Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options are configured correctly.
• Sensitive Information Disclosure: Identifies accidental leaks in HTTP headers, application stack traces, or publicly exposed system files.
• Cookie Security & Session Protection: Verifies that session flags like Secure and HttpOnly are properly enforced to protect user credentials.
• Risk-Ranked Action Items: Every issue is classified as High, Medium, Low, or Informational, giving you a prioritized roadmap to fix vulnerabilities step-by-step.

Free Passive Scan vs. Deep Security Report

Different projects require different levels of depth. Here is how our quick scan compares to a full active audit:

• Free Quick Scan: Requires DNS TXT verification. Uses passive OWASP ZAP checks to highlight immediate surface vulnerabilities. Perfect for continuous site health monitoring.
• $100 Deep Scan & Custom Report: Includes full web spidering and active vulnerability probing. Delivers a complete written report in both PDF and Markdown formats, ideal for major software releases or compliance audits.
