    We built BoringSec to make application security more actionable for modern development teams. It connects code review and live application scanning with evidence-backed findings, AI-ready remediation, re-testing, and continuous monitoring. You can use BoringSec through the web, REST API, MCP, or CLI, and hand remediation directly to tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. The goal is simple: find issues, understand the evidence, fix them, and verify the result without turning every release into an enterprise security project. There’s also a public scan you can try without signing up. Happy to answer any technical questions about the scanning model, evidence, integrations, or verification workflow.

BoringSec helps developers find, understand, fix and verify security issues across code and production. Scan live web applications for exposed secrets, insecure configurations, vulnerable dependencies, authentication and authorization issues, and other externally observable risks. Public scans use bounded, read-only checks with no installation required. Deeper security checks unlock after domain verification, while unavailable checks remain visible as coverage gaps instead of being silently counted as passed. Every finding includes technical evidence, severity, remediation guidance and AI-ready fixes. Developers can bring BoringSec into their workflow through REST API, MCP, CLI, GitHub, webhooks and Slack, then re-test to verify that an issue was actually fixed. BoringSec also provides continuous monitoring, professional security reports and compliance evidence mapping across frameworks such as OWASP, MITRE CWE, NIST, CIS and GDPR.
  • 17 public modules + 6 verified‑owner heavy scanners
  • AI‑ready plain‑language remediation prompts
  • Fast self‑serve scan in about 60 seconds
  • Evidence‑backed grading from A++ to F

BoringSec scans web applications for security issues, provides detailed reports with fixes, and offers continuous monitoring.

  • BoringSec vs Pulsetic: Pulsetic focuses on uptime monitoring, not security vulnerability scanning.
  • BoringSec vs aikido: aikido offers a lightweight security tool for developers, but lacks BoringSec's comprehensive standards mapping and monitoring.
  • BoringSec vs Perfai Security: Perfai Security provides AI-driven vulnerability discovery, whereas BoringSec combines deterministic scans, standards citations and pay-per-report pricing.
  • BoringSec vs BuildShip: BuildShip is an AI-powered backend builder, not a security scanning service.

Yes, the 17 public modules are bounded, read-only checks that do not log in or modify your site.

What does the €49.00 report include?+

A full security audit with severity context, step-by-step remediation, AI fix prompts, compliance mapping and a downloadable PDF.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?+

You can request a refund within 7 days for unopened reports; once the full report is viewed it is non-refundable.

How does continuous monitoring work?+

Care (and higher plans) provide weekly or daily scans, uptime/SSL/DNS/blacklist monitoring and send alerts via email, Slack or webhook.
