HackerGuardian FAQs

1) What's the difference between the HackerGuardian Services?

HackerGuardian Free Scan
Available to website owners, network operators and home users free of charge.

The Free service is limited to 3 scans per license on a single IP and is non user customizable.

HackerGuardian Daily Scan and Certify
A daily vulnerability and testing service for ecommerce websites leading to HackerGuardian TrustLogo accreditation. Under the terms of the service, a client's webserver is thoroughly audited every 24 hours with over 11,000 individual vulnerability checks. Upon passing the pre-defined test criteria, the client website is certified as vulnerability free and is thus authorized to display the HackerGuardian TrustLogo on their corporate website.

2) Why do I need HackerGuardian TrustLogo?

I've got a high assurance SSL certificate.

SSL certificates do not secure a web server from malicious attacks or intrusions. High assurance SSL certificates only provide the first tier of customer security and reassurance, namely:

A secure connection between the customer's browser and the web server
Validation that the web site operators are a legitimate, legally accountable organization

However, consumer fears in the light of recent attacks on high profile merchant web sites now mean that businesses need to provide additional proof that their web servers are cannot be hacked into. Vendors that deliver this second tier of reassurance to their customers have noticed a quantifiable increase in sales through higher customer conversion rates.

Yes. After creating your account you will get a free license that enables a user to scan a single IP (eg web server, network server, desktop computer or other Internet connected device)
