What every client website gets

  1. Explain the risk

    Show what was observed, where it was found, how severe it is, and why it matters in language a client can follow.

  2. Give developers the fix

    Provide platform-specific starting points for Nginx, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS, Cloudflare, WordPress, and AWS CloudFront when applicable.

  3. Prove the correction

    Rescan after deployment and record each finding as resolved, partially resolved, still observed, or unable to verify.

How it works

One repeatable workflow for every client website you manage.

  1. Confirm authorization and assess

    Confirm you may assess the website, then run a passive check of its public configuration.

  2. Review evidence and priority

    Findings are ordered by severity, each with the evidence observed and its business impact.

  3. Share the remediation report

    Send the client a PDF summary and the developer the platform-specific fixes.

  4. Verify fixes and monitor regressions

    Verify each fix with a rescan, then schedule scans to catch changes that undo it.

From finding to verified fix

One finding from the sample report, shown the way the product shows it: the evidence, the fix for the client’s platform, and the rescan that confirms it. Demonstration data

F-02 High

Strict-Transport-Security header missing

Affected URL
https://www.client-shop.example/
Evidence
HTTPS is available, but the response carries no Strict-Transport-Security header.
Why it matters
HSTS tells browsers to always use HTTPS for this site, closing the window in which a first request can be downgraded to HTTP.
Fix
Send Strict-Transport-Security with a max-age of at least one year once HTTPS is stable on every subdomain.

Configuration for the client’s platform

Nginx

# server { } block (or http { })
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" always;

Reload with: nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx. add_header in a location block replaces headers set at server level.

Apache HTTP Server

# Requires mod_headers (a2enmod headers)
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"

Place in the VirtualHost or .htaccess, then run apachectl configtest and reload.

Microsoft IIS

<!-- IIS 10 (version 1709+): applicationHost.config, inside the <site> element for this website -->
<hsts enabled="true" max-age="31536000" includeSubDomains="true" redirectHttpToHttps="true" />

Native HSTS support is available from IIS 10 version 1709. On older versions, add the header with customHeaders.

Cloudflare

SSL/TLS > Edge Certificates > HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) > Enable HSTS
1. Max Age: 12 months
2. Include subdomains: only if every subdomain serves HTTPS
3. Preload: leave off until you are sure

HSTS is cached by browsers for the full max-age; confirm HTTPS works on every subdomain first.

WordPress

<?php
// In a small site-specific plugin (or the child theme's functions.php)
add_action( 'send_headers', function () {
    header(
        "Strict-Transport-Security: "
        . "max-age=31536000; "
        . "includeSubDomains"
    );
} );

Setting the header in the web server or CDN is preferred; use this when you only control WordPress.

AWS CloudFront

CloudFront > Policies > Response headers > Create response headers policy
1. Security headers > Strict-Transport-Security: max-age 31536000, includeSubDomains
2. Origin override: enabled
3. Attach the policy to the distribution's cache behavior(s)

Changes propagate to all edge locations within a few minutes.

Examples are starting points: test them in staging before production.

Coverage and limitations

What is checked

  • HTTPS availability, HTTP to HTTPS redirects and the TLS certificate
  • Security headers: HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, frame protection, nosniff, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy
  • Cookie Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite flags
  • Server software disclosure and commonly exposed files
  • SPF and DMARC email authentication records and security.txt

What is not checked

  • It is not a penetration test and does not exploit vulnerabilities.
  • No login, brute force, fuzzing or load testing.
  • Application logic and authenticated areas are not assessed.
  • A clean result does not mean a website is free of vulnerabilities.
  • It is not a replacement for manual penetration testing or a professional security audit.
  • Source code and internal infrastructure are outside scope.
  • A report is not a security certification or a compliance audit, and the score is not a measure of overall business risk.
  • Automated findings are not individually reviewed by NeoShield staff, and AI-assisted guidance can be incomplete or wrong. Review and test every change before production.

Who NeoShield is for

People who look after other people’s websites and need to show that the work was done.

Freelance web developer

Typical use
You built or look after a handful of client websites and charge for maintenance.
The problem
Maintenance is invisible. The client sees an invoice, not the work behind it.
How NeoShield helps
Scan each website, fix what matters, confirm it with Verify Fix, and send a PDF that shows what was checked and what changed.

Read more — Freelance web developer

WordPress maintenance provider

Typical use
You run monthly care plans for many WordPress websites.
The problem
When nothing visibly breaks, clients start to question the retainer.
How NeoShield helps
WordPress-specific fix steps, scheduled scans that flag when a security setting changes after a plugin or hosting update, and a report per website you can attach to the monthly update.

Read more — WordPress maintenance provider

Small web agency

Typical use
A small team looks after dozens of client websites.
The problem
Clients need a plain summary and developers need exact fixes. Writing both by hand for every website is slow.
How NeoShield helps
One report carries the client explanation and the developer fix for each finding, with a shared client list and up to 5 seats on the Team plan.

Monthly Security Summary

One page per month for all the client websites you look after: what was checked, what was found, what was fixed and how the scores moved.

  • Attach it to the monthly invoice or care-plan update, so the client sees the work behind the fee.
  • Bring it to a renewal conversation as a record of findings resolved over the year.
  • Spot the websites whose scores dropped and plan the next month’s work.

Available today: a report per website, report history, and Verify Fix results that show which findings were resolved. The combined monthly page is not built yet.

Free security tools

Single-purpose checks that remain free to use. They are separate from the website security reporting workflow.

Why NeoShield instead of free tools?

Free checkers are good at the test each one runs, and SSL Labs tests TLS in more depth than NeoShield does. What they do not give you is one report a client can read, fixes for the client’s platform, and a record that each fix worked.

Frequently asked questions

Is the scan a penetration test?

No. It is a fast, non-intrusive assessment of publicly accessible website security configuration: HTTPS and TLS, security headers, cookies, email authentication records, server disclosure and commonly exposed files. It does not exploit, brute-force, fuzz or log in to the website.

Which websites may I scan?

Only websites you own or have permission to assess, such as client websites covered by your service agreement. You confirm this before every scan and every recurring schedule.

What does the free plan include?

One website and one manual scan per month. Every finding is named, with its severity, affected host, basic evidence and why it matters, and up to three medium-severity findings are shown in full. Complete evidence, platform-specific fixes, exports, Verify Fix, history and monitoring are part of the paid plans.

Can I send the report to my client?

Paid plans export each report as a PDF or CSV that you can share with a client or developer, with optional "Prepared for" and "Prepared by" names. Reports carry NeoShield branding today. Agency branding is planned.

How do I confirm a fix worked?

After the fix is deployed, run Verify Fix on the report (Pro and MSP / Team). NeoShield scans the same website again and records an outcome for each finding: resolved, partially resolved, still present, or unable to verify. A finding is only marked resolved when a scan confirms it, and it reopens automatically if it comes back.

Why pay when free security checkers exist?

Free checkers such as SecurityHeaders, SSL Labs and MXToolbox are good at the test each one runs, and SSL Labs tests TLS in more depth than NeoShield. NeoShield puts those public checks into one report a client can read, adds fix steps for the client’s platform, records whether each fix worked, and keeps the history per website. You pay for the reporting and verification workflow, not for the checks themselves.

Who runs NeoShield?

One developer in Japan builds and runs NeoShield alongside full-time employment. Support is by email, with no live chat, phone or SLA. Scans, monitoring and payments run automatically when the operator is unavailable.

Do paid plans renew automatically?

No. Paid access is currently sold as prepaid passes for a fixed period (30 or 365 days) with no automatic renewal. When the period ends, the account returns to the Free plan unless you buy another pass.

Start with one authorized client website.
