At SCM360, we're always pushing forward—constantly asking ourselves how we can do better, be safer, and stay ahead of threats. This month, we built something we’re really proud of: our very own Automated Pentest VPS.
🚀 Why We Built It
This isn’t just another server—it’s a full-fledged cybersecurity engine designed to run deep scans on websites (starting with our own) to uncover hidden vulnerabilities, outdated code libraries, security misconfigurations, and missing compliance measures.
🛠️ What It Does
In just one command, our system checks:
- Domain WHOIS and DNS records
- SSL/TLS strength and certificate issues
- Missing HTTP headers like CSP, HSTS, and Referrer-Policy
- Outdated libraries such as jQuery or Bootstrap
- Open ports or risky server exposures
📄 What Happens After Scanning?
Once the scan is complete, the system automatically compiles a detailed, clean, and professional PDF report. This gives us (and soon, our clients) a clear picture of what needs fixing—and what’s already secure.
⚙️ Built In-House for Full Control
We realized that relying solely on third-party scanners wasn’t enough. We needed something fast, private, flexible—and built by our own team. The result was exactly that.
After our first scan of scm360.co.uk, we got to work fixing a few things. Then we ran a second scan. The result? An A+ security grade and a 130/100 Mozilla Observatory score—proof that our system works.
💼 For Clients, Too
We’re now offering this as a service—either a one-time audit or a monthly security plan. It will also be fully integrated into our Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) onboarding checks for vendors.
🌍 Looking Ahead
This is just the beginning. We’re building more than systems—we’re building trust, peace of mind, and a safer internet, one scan at a time.
📅 See you in next month’s post, where we’ll show how this VPS integrates with our vendor risk platform.
