Why I built SecurVibe: most breaches aren't hacks, they're mistakes

Most security breaches aren't sophisticated attacks. They're a missing security header. An API key accidentally committed to a public repo. A cert nobody remembered to renew. Simple configuration mistakes — not zero-days — and most of the time, the developer had no idea the gap existed.

I built SecurVibe for indie devs and vibe coders shipping fast, often with AI-assisted code, without a security team or compliance checklist slowing them down. Most existing security tools weren't built for us — they're priced for enterprises and worded for auditors.

Right now SecurVibe does two things:

  • ShieldScan — checks your domain's SSL, headers, DNS, and email security, gives you a plain-language scorecard

  • LeakCheck — scans public GitHub repos for exposed API keys and secrets, without ever executing your code

Both start with a free scan, no signup needed. Full report with exact findings is $9 one-time. Ongoing monitoring across the whole toolkit is $10/month — new tools included automatically as they ship.

This is early. It's not trying to replace a pentest or a security team — just trying to catch the boring, common stuff before it becomes a headline. Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's been burned by exactly this kind of simple mistake before.

    You draw a clear line between replacing a security team and catching the mistakes that happen before anyone realizes there's a problem.

    Has there been a point where you deliberately chose not to expand the scope because it would change what SecurVibe is fundamentally meant to be?

      Hey Aryan - Yes I considered expanding scope for LeakCheck (and DepCheck, which is in the works) beyond scanning public artifacts. Public-only scanning gives good but limited visibility. Real value would come from reviewing code, config, and app settings behind auth gate but that adds real adoption complexity.

      My goal is consistent, low-friction visibility into the lowest-hanging stuff that often becomes the stepping stone for real incidents.

        Appreciate the context.

        The low-friction visibility angle makes sense as a clear boundary for the product.
