Cybersecurity Scan: Get Your Hackproof Score & Protect Your Website Today
Protecting your website is essential in today’s digital landscape. Heartfelt IT’s free Cybersecurity Scan helps Ottawa organizations uncover hidden vulnerabilities and get an instant Hackproof Score (HPS) to measure their site’s security risk.
Why Your Website Needs a Cybersecurity Scan
Every day, cyberattacks target websites to steal data, disrupt service, or spread malware. Many attacks exploit common vulnerabilities that could be identified early with a simple scan.
According to Government of Canada guidelines on vulnerability management, regular scanning is a critical step to protect sensitive information and comply with cybersecurity best practices.
By running a Cybersecurity Scan with Heartfelt IT, you can:
Identify security holes before attackers do
Understand your website’s vulnerability level with the Hackproof Score
Get actionable insights to fix risks quickly
What is the Hackproof Score (HPS)?
The Hackproof Score (HPS) is a clear, easy-to-understand rating of your website’s security health. It reflects how resistant your site is to common hacking techniques, based on a detailed scan of software versions, SSL configuration, firewall status, and more.
As IBM explains, “Vulnerability scanning is a proactive security measure that helps organizations detect weaknesses early, so they can prioritize fixes and reduce risk.” HPS is a practical, actionable summary of your scan results.
How Does the Cybersecurity Scan Work?
Our scan runs automatically and checks for:
Outdated plugins and CMS versions
Weak or missing SSL certificates
Firewall protection gaps
Common vulnerabilities like SQL injection or cross-site scripting
Once complete, you receive your Hackproof Score plus detailed recommendations tailored to your website’s specific risks.
Why Scanning Matters: Reduce Risk & Meet Compliance
Vulnerability scanning is essential for organizations of all sizes, especially nonprofits and small businesses managing sensitive client data.
As VikingCloud highlights in their guide on vulnerability scanning, “Regular scans reduce your risk exposure, help you comply with industry regulations, and build trust with your stakeholders.”
