Guardiax is your personal internet safety assistant. In seconds, it tells you whether an email address, domain, or link is safe to trust โ€” without storing a single byte of your data. Whether you received a suspicious message, want to verify who you're dealing with online, or just want to know if a website is legitimate, Guardiax gives you a clear, actionable answer. IDENTITY CHECK Run a four-dimension risk analysis on any email address. Guardiax checks breach exposure across known data leak databases, spoofing vulnerability through SPF, DMARC and DKIM authentication records, domain trust signals, and online identity presence โ€” then scores each dimension from Low to Critical so you know exactly where the risk lies. IS THIS A SCAM? Paste any URL, domain, or email and get an instant scam risk verdict. Guardiax analyses domain provenance and age, WHOIS ownership records, DNS authentication (SPF, DMARC, MX), public reputation signals, and blacklist status โ€” then explains in plain English what it found and what you should do. THREE VIEWS, ONE APP Not everyone needs the same level of detail. Switch between Simple (plain-English verdict for non-technical users), Standard (prioritised action steps), and Advanced (full technical breakdown) โ€” right from the home screen. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Guardiax only analyses publicly available information. Nothing you scan is stored, tracked, or shared. Ever.
