Continuous domain security monitoring for SMBs

February 16, 2026 I'm building an affordable domain security monitor — alternative to $20K/year enterprise tools

Hey IH! I'm Yves, and I'm building Scanward — a tool that continuously monitors your domain's security and alerts you when something breaks.

The problem: Enterprise tools like SecurityScorecard cost $20K-$90K/year. Free tools like SSL Labs are one-time checks — you run them, get a result, and forget until something breaks. There's no affordable "set it and forget it" option.

What Scanward does: Add your domain and it monitors 5 things 24/7:

  • SSL/TLS (cert expiry, protocols, ciphers)

  • DNS (DNSSEC, dangling CNAMEs, zone transfer)

  • HTTP security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options)

  • Email auth (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

  • Uptime (response time, status codes)

You get an A-F grade, detailed findings, and email alerts when something changes.

The free tier is real — 1 domain, daily rescans, all 5 checks, email alerts. No credit card, no trial expiry. Try it at scanward.com.

Paid tiers (coming soon): Pro $29/mo (10 domains, 12h scans), Agency $79/mo (50 domains, 6h scans).

Built with: FastAPI, Next.js, Celery, Postgres, Railway

Would love feedback — what would make this a must-have for you? What's missing?

Enterprise security monitoring costs $20K+/year. Free tools require manual re-checks. Nothing in this range does continuous SSL, DNS, headers, email, and uptime monitoring with alerts. Building Scanward to fill that gap.
