Why small business websites get attacked

Attackers rarely pick a company by name. Automated tools scan the internet for known weaknesses, and a small business site with outdated software is as easy a target as any other. Most owners find out only when a browser shows a warning, search traffic drops or customers complain.

  • Outdated software. Old CMS versions, plugins and themes carry published vulnerabilities that bots look for.
  • Hidden malware. Some infections show a clean page to the owner and attack other visitors. See behavioral malware detection.
  • Exposed files and settings. Forgotten backups and configuration files are a common way in. Read about an exposed .env file and exposed backup files.

What a website security scanner for small business checks

A scan looks at your site the way an outsider does and reports what it finds, ranked by severity.

Known vulnerabilities

Detected CMS, plugin, theme and library versions are matched to published advisories. See the WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and PHP scanners.

Malware and redirects

Content inspection and browser observation look for malicious code, redirects and downloads. See the website malware scan.

Exposed files and settings

Files and configuration that should not be public are reported with guidance on how to fix them.

Plain-language fixes

Each finding explains the problem and the fix, and you can re-scan to confirm it is closed.

Monitoring that comes with a website plan

Between scans, website plans check your site on a schedule. Basic monitoring is separate from the one included scan.

Alerts are grouped and unchanged repeats are suppressed. Alert delivery follows detection and is not guaranteed in real time. DNS frequency is not uptime frequency. See the Website Up-time Monitor.

Small business website security questions

What is a website security scanner for small business?

It is a service that checks a business website for known vulnerabilities, malware and risky settings, and reports what to fix. ScanTitan does this from the outside, without installing anything on your site.

Do I need a security team to use it?

No. Findings are ranked and each one explains the problem and the fix in plain language.

Is there a free option?

Yes. The Free plan includes one website and one included website security scan. Registering does not activate paid features.

Does it work for WordPress sites?

Yes. It reports detected WordPress core, plugin and theme versions that match known vulnerabilities. See the WordPress vulnerability scanner.

Will it find malware on my site?

It inspects content and observes how the page behaves in a browser. A clean result describes what was checked and is not a guarantee.

Does it clean or fix my website?

No. It reports problems and guidance. Cleaning an infected website is separate.

Can I scan a site I do not own?

No. Scan only websites you own or are authorized to test.
