Check your client's website, verify your fixes, and deliver a clear report. GuardPad checks a website's public security configuration from your iPhone or iPad, tells you what to fix first, confirms each fix after you rescan, and turns the result into a report your client can read. Built for freelance developers and small web agencies who look after client sites. No account. No analytics. Scans run on your device. CHECK • A plain summary and one next action at the top of every result • An A+ to F grade that summarises the checks performed — with a clear note that a grade is not a guarantee of security or a certification • 11 graded HTTP security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, COOP, COEP, CORP, X-XSS-Protection, Server) • HTTPS certificate and protocol details, cookie flags, and email records (SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MTA-STS, BIMI) • Redirect chain, deprecated headers, security.txt, WAF/CDN fingerprints, OWASP Top 10:2025 and PCI DSS 4.0 header check mapping FIX • "Fix first" — the highest-impact items, each with the change to make • For every fix: what was observed, why it matters, what to check before you apply it, and how to verify it • PRO: configuration for the server you run — nginx, Apache, Express.js or Caddy — with where it goes and how to apply it. GuardPad remembers your server VERIFY • Rescan to verify: each earlier finding is marked Resolved, Still present, New or Not verified • An unchanged overall grade never hides a finding you fixed • Incomplete scans (for example when the web server is unreachable) are never counted as fixed REPORT • Preview the client report for any result, free: a plain-language summary, the remaining actions, what was checked, and before/after when an earlier scan of the site exists • Add a client or project name, your own name and your logo — stored on your device • PRO: export the report you previewed as PDF or Markdown FOLLOW UP (PRO) • Pin up to 5 domains; when iOS allows, GuardPad re-scans them in the background and notifies you only when a grade or header changes. Each pinned domain shows when it was last checked. Background re-scans are periodic, not continuous. Yearly covers all pinned domains; Lifetime covers 1. • Certificate expiry reminders 30/14/7/3/1 days before expiry • Grade trend charts, posture dashboard and scan comparison • Batch scan up to 50 URLs, CORS tester, DNS lookup with DNSSEC and CAA, full certificate chain • Shareable grade card and README badge GUARDPAD PRO Yearly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. The App Store shows the price in your currency, and any introductory offer you are eligible for, before you confirm. NATIVE ON iOS • Share Extension — scan a URL straight from Safari • Siri & Shortcuts — "Scan Domain" and "Get Last Grade" • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for pinned domains • Designed for iPhone and iPad, with VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support FEEDBACK Spotted an incorrect result? Report it from the finding itself. You see the full message before anything is shared, and you send it yourself from Mail. PRIVACY No account, no analytics SDKs, no tracking, no third-party dependencies. Scan results, report details and your logo stay on your device. GuardPad is a tool for checking the configuration of websites you own or are permitted to scan.
