Website vulnerability scan
Open ports, outdated software, exposed files, and HTTPS problems, each confirmed by hand.
The Problem
Your Site Picked Up Admins, Apps, and Plugins Nobody Reviews
It builds up over years of adding staff, agencies, apps, and plugins. Each one got access to your data, and most of that access is still there.
01 · Old accounts
A freelancer who left last spring still has a staff account.
Every account, app, and key gets checked from the inside.
02 · Stale plugins
A plugin hasn't been updated since 2022.
An outside scan shows what anyone can reach, the way attackers see it.
03 · Exposed files
A backup file sits where anyone can download it.
HTTPS, security headers, and server settings get reviewed and fixed.
04 · Checkout skimming
One missed gap can end as a skimming script at checkout.
Findings are ranked by real risk, each with the exact fix.
A customer asks why your store sent them a password reset they didn't request. You log in and find a staff account for a freelancer who left last spring. There's a plugin with no update since 2022, an API key that can edit orders, and a backup file anyone can download. None of it looks urgent until someone uses it. Then it's a skimming script on your checkout, a warning on your Google listing, and customers asking if their cards are safe.
We start with a website vulnerability scan from the outside, the way an attacker sees your site. Then we log in and check every account, app, and key, plus HTTPS and server settings. Each finding is mapped to the OWASP Top 10 and ranked by real risk, with the exact fix. You get a short list to act on, not 40 pages of scanner output.
Outside and inside checks
A scan shows what anyone can reach. An admin review shows who already has access.
Ranked by real risk
Findings are ranked by what an attacker could actually do, so the dangerous ones go first.
Fixes when you want them
Two plans include the fixes, tested on staging, with a rescan that confirms each one.

Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs Free Online Scanner vs Security Plugin
A free scanner is a fine first check, and a security plugin blocks common attacks on WordPress. Neither reviews who has access or fixes what it finds.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built stores, sites, and apps for.
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Why Store Owners Trust Us With a Security Review
A security audit website owners can't act on is just a long PDF. These habits keep our findings accurate, ranked, and safe to fix.
Ranked by real risk
A scanner can print 200 warnings nobody will exploit. We rank each finding by how likely it is to be used against you and what it would expose.
Critical findings flagged fast
If we find an exposed backup, a former employee's login, or signs of malware, you hear within 24 hours. You don't wait for the report to act.
Every app and plugin accounted for
We list what each app, plugin, and key can reach and when it was last updated. Abandoned code gets flagged even when no scanner complains.
Fixes tested on staging first
Updates and permission changes go through a staging copy before your live store. A security fix that breaks checkout isn't a fix.
Written for owners and developers
Each finding says what an attacker could do and what it would cost you. Your developer gets the technical steps, and you get a summary you can act on.
You own the report
The report, scan results, and fix list are yours to share with your developer or insurer. Nothing stays locked behind our login.
Overview
What does a website security audit include?
DeveloperLook runs a website security audit that shows store and site owners exactly what's exposed. We scan for known vulnerabilities, review every admin, app, plugin, and API key, and check HTTPS and server settings, then rank each finding by risk. Audits start at $450, take 3 to 5 business days, and two plans include the fixes.

Good fit
Store owners after a security scare
Your store sent password resets nobody asked for, or Google flagged your homepage. You need to know what else is exposed.
WordPress and WooCommerce sites with plugin sprawl
You've added plugins for years, some stopped getting updates, and nobody knows which ones can still read order data.
Businesses answering an insurer or client
Your cyber insurance renewal or a client's vendor form asks for proof of a recent security review, and you have nothing written down.
Shopify stores with many apps and staff
Your Shopify admin has a dozen staff accounts, collaborator access from past agencies, and apps nobody remembers installing.
Agencies inheriting a client's site
You've taken over a site another agency built and want a security baseline before your team changes anything.
Not a fit
Break-in testing needed
You need someone to try breaking into your custom app or API and prove what they reach. Our Web Application Penetration Testing Services page covers that.
Data loss, not breaches
Your worry is losing data, not being breached. Our Website Backup and Disaster Recovery page covers backups and tested restores.
Quarterly PCI scan
You need the quarterly scan PCI DSS requires. It must come from a PCI SSC Approved Scanning Vendor, which we are not, though we can fix what it finds.
Simple hosted brochure site
Your budget is under $450, or your site is a brochure page on a hosted builder. A free scanner and the builder's own settings cover most of it.

Security audits from DeveloperLook start at $450 for a ranked report on one store or site. Fixes for critical and high findings, plus a rescan, bring it to $1,100. The $2,100 hardening plan adds medium fixes, firewall rules, alerts, and a scan 90 days later. You get a fixed quote after a free call.
Most audits take 3 to 5 business days from access to report. Sites with several admin areas or custom apps can take up to 2 weeks. With fixes, most projects finish in 1 to 3 weeks, depending on how many plugins or apps need updates and staging tests.
You can scan your website for vulnerabilities with a free external scanner, but it only sees the surface. It finds outdated software and weak HTTPS. It can't see stale admin accounts, risky app permissions, or leaked keys. We confirm each scan result by hand and add the inside review.
We rank every finding and flag anything critical within 24 hours. Each entry explains what an attacker could do and the exact fix. Your developer can work from the list, or our fix plans handle critical and high issues, test each change on staging, and rescan to confirm it's closed.
Yes, fixes come with our two higher plans. We fix critical and high findings, like outdated plugins, stale admin accounts, and over-permissioned keys, then rescan each one. If a fix needs real development, like replacing a custom app, we quote it before starting. You approve each change before it goes live.
We compare each account's access with the job that person does today. On Shopify, that means staff permissions, collaborator accounts, and app access scopes. On WordPress, it's admin roles, application passwords, and WooCommerce REST API keys. Former staff and shared logins turn up most, and you decide what gets removed.
On Shopify, the audit covers what you control: staff access, apps, API tokens, theme code, and scripts. Shopify runs the servers and checkout and is certified PCI DSS Level 1. So our time goes to the access and code you add on top, where most store risk sits.
No, an audit looks for known weaknesses and risky settings, while a penetration test tries to exploit them. An audit suits most stores and business sites. A pen test fits custom apps and APIs. If an audit already covers your case, we'll tell you before we quote.
Most stores should audit website security once a year and after any major change. A new theme, a platform move, a new payment app, or a change of agency resets the picture. If PCI DSS applies to your business, its own schedule sets the minimum.
Yes, the report, scan results, and fix list are yours to keep and share with your developer or insurer. The first two plans include 30 days of support for follow-up questions. The hardening plan includes 60 days, plus a follow-up scan 90 days after delivery.
