About PortWarden

For small IT teams and companies that need security scanning now, without appointments, sales calls, or enterprise pricing.

Why we built it

Small teams need scheduled security visibility they can run themselves

We come from buying, building, and operating software companies. When you run internet-facing systems for real, security stops being abstract. It is part of keeping the business online.

For a lot of small businesses and startups, the choices are poor: expensive consulting, a pile of DIY tools, or waiting too long to look at what is public.

PortWarden closes that gap. Lean teams get scheduled external attack surface management, change visibility, prioritized fixes, guidance where it helps, and on-demand testing when they need more depth.

What PortWarden is

Scheduled external attack surface management, plus on-demand testing when you need it

PortWarden helps teams see internet-facing exposure and act on it with scheduled scanning, on-demand testing, and simple onboarding.

Scheduled monitoring

Ongoing monitoring

Track ports, exposed services, and internet-facing changes over time so exposure drift does not surprise your team.

Broader monitoring

Deeper recurring monitoring

When Free-tier visibility is not enough, paid plans add richer findings and guided remediation support per endpoint.

How we work

Built by operators, delivered for operators

PortWarden is for teams that do not have time for security theater. It should be useful at 3:00 AM during a live incident, and simple enough for non-specialists to act without waiting on a consultant.

Practical by default

We focus on externally reachable risk, clear evidence, and prioritized actions: less scanner noise, fewer vague recommendations, faster work for busy teams.

Security with business context

Not every finding deserves the same urgency. PortWarden helps separate what is truly risky from what can wait, so effort goes where it cuts the most risk first.

Escalation when needed

Self-serve covers most work. When a finding needs deeper judgment, move from recurring monitoring to on-demand advanced testing and human review without changing tools.

Who it is for

For people who ship, defend, and keep moving

PortWarden fits small businesses, startups, internal IT teams, MSPs, and operators who need useful visibility without building a security stack first.

It is a strong fit when you want self-serve monitoring, guidance in the monthly workflow, and a clean path to human review when a situation needs it.
