HackGuardX Platform Architecture

One platform. Ten unified security engines.

Built for UK small businesses, SaaS startups, software agencies, and MSPs. Replace fragmented enterprise tools with continuous, non-destructive verification across your entire digital footprint.

ENGINE 01 • CONTINUOUS TESTING98.4% verified

Automated Security Testing

Continuously verify web applications, endpoints, and perimeter configurations with safe, non-destructive automated security tests designed for production environments.

Key Exposures Detected:
Exposed administrative consoles, staging subdomains, and debug routes
Missing or permissive Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and frame protections
TLS protocol downgrades, weak cipher suites, and expiring certificates
Non-destructive & verifiedExplore Capability
ENGINE 02 • EXTERNAL SURFACE< 10 seconds

Website Security Scanning & Continuous Monitoring

Monitor your public-facing websites, WordPress/CMS installations, e-commerce checkouts, and DNS/email security records for exploitable weaknesses before attackers weaponise them.

Key Exposures Detected:
Outdated CMS cores, vulnerable plugins, and exposed configuration backups (.env, wp-config.php.bak)
Missing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC enforcement leaving your domain open to invoice and phishing spoofing
Subdomain takeover risks from dangling CNAME records pointing to decommissioned cloud services
Non-destructive & verifiedExplore Capability
ENGINE 03 • CLOUD & IDENTITYAWS, Azure, GCP

Cloud Security Posture Reviews (AWS, Azure & GCP)

Connect read-only cloud roles across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to continuously audit storage permissions, network exposure, encryption, and identity hygiene.

Key Exposures Detected:
Publicly readable or writable S3 buckets, Azure Blob containers, and GCS buckets
Security groups and network ACLs exposing SSH (22), RDP (3389), Postgres (5432), or Redis (6379) to 0.0.0.0/0
IAM users and service roles with wildcard (*) administrative privileges or stale access keys
Non-destructive & verifiedExplore Capability
ENGINE 04 • CODE & SUPPLY CHAIN< 60 seconds

GitHub Repository Security Reviews

Audit your GitHub organisation for leaked credentials, insecure CI/CD workflow permissions, missing branch protection rules, and overprivileged third-party OAuth apps.

Key Exposures Detected:
Repositories lacking required pull request reviews, status checks, or signed commits on main branches
GitHub Actions workflows vulnerable to script injection or running with write-all GITHUB_TOKEN permissions
Former employees or external contractors retaining write/admin access to private repositories
Non-destructive & verifiedExplore Capability
ENGINE 05 • CODE & SUPPLY CHAIN18+ languages

Source Code Security Analysis (SAST & IaC)

Fast, developer-friendly static application security testing (SAST) and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) scanning across TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP, C#, and Terraform.

Key Exposures Detected:
SQL injection, NoSQL injection, and unsafe raw query string concatenation
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), path traversal, and insecure deserialisation
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via unescaped DOM rendering or dangerouslySetInnerHTML
Non-destructive & verifiedExplore Capability
ENGINE 06 • CODE & SUPPLY CHAINReachability-ranked

Dependency & Software Supply Chain Security (SCA)

Continuously monitor lockfiles and container images for known CVEs, malicious typosquatted packages, and unmaintained open-source libraries—ranked by real reachability.

Key Exposures Detected:
Critical and High CVEs across package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, composer.lock, and go.sum
Actively exploited vulnerabilities listed in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalogue
Malicious post-install scripts, dependency confusion risks, and hijacked maintainer packages
Non-destructive & verifiedExplore Capability
ENGINE 07 • CODE & SUPPLY CHAIN350+ providers

Secrets & Credential Exposure Detection

Scan git history, pull requests, client-side JavaScript bundles, and public endpoints for hardcoded AWS keys, Stripe secrets, OpenAI tokens, database credentials, and private keys.

Key Exposures Detected:
AWS Access Key IDs & Secret Keys, Azure Client Secrets, and GCP Service Account JSON files
Stripe live secret keys (sk_live_*), Slack webhooks, SendGrid/Resend API tokens, and GitHub PATs
PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis connection strings containing plaintext passwords
Non-destructive & verifiedExplore Capability
ENGINE 08 • CONTINUOUS TESTINGREST & GraphQL

API Security Testing

Discover and test your REST and GraphQL endpoints for broken authentication, excessive data exposure, missing rate limiting, and unauthenticated administrative routes.

Key Exposures Detected:
Unauthenticated API routes returning sensitive user or tenant records
GraphQL introspection enabled in production exposing full internal schema mutations
Missing rate-limiting headers and brute-force protection on login, OTP, and password reset endpoints
Non-destructive & verifiedExplore Capability
ENGINE 09 • EXTERNAL SURFACEAutomated CT & DNS

External Attack Surface Monitoring (EASM)

Continuously map your external digital footprint to uncover forgotten subdomains, shadow IT marketing sites, exposed databases, and expiring TLS certificates before attackers find them.

Key Exposures Detected:
Newly registered or forgotten subdomains (e.g., old-crm.company.co.uk, dev-api.company.co.uk)
Exposed network services (SSH, RDP, Jenkins, phpMyAdmin, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Docker daemons)
Dangling DNS records vulnerable to hostile subdomain takeover
Non-destructive & verifiedExplore Capability
ENGINE 010 • CONTINUOUS TESTING24/7 continuous

Continuous Vulnerability Monitoring

Your business changes every week: new plugins, code deployments, DNS edits, and newly disclosed zero-days. HackGuardX monitors continuously so you never wait 12 months for an annual pen test to discover an exposure.

Key Exposures Detected:
Newly published CVEs affecting your existing web stack or dependencies
Configuration drift across DNS, TLS, cloud firewalls, and M365 policies
Regression of previously remediated security findings
Non-destructive & verifiedExplore Capability
