On-Demand Advanced Security Scans

- Advanced Testing
Run targeted on-demand vulnerability scans and validation workflows when you need technical depth beyond routine checks
Run targeted on-demand scans from the client portal for specific hosts, applications, and risk questions
Advanced Testing is designed for one-off technical depth. Teams can launch scoped scan jobs for validation, deeper vulnerability analysis, and post-change verification with evidence-backed findings and guided interpretation.
This page focuses on technical scan execution, test depth, and scan categories. If you want the broader service model, visit Services. For exact tooling by category, see the full scanner catalog.
Start Free Browse ScannersHow it works
- Choose an on-demand scan from the client portal
- Run it against authorized in-scope assets
- Review normalized findings and evidence
- Use guided analysis to interpret results and next steps
- Escalate to human analysis when deeper judgment matters
Broad capability built around clear on-demand scans
PortWarden packages advanced testing as outcomes, not loose tools. That keeps jobs predictable, evidence-backed, and easier for small teams to understand and use. Each capability below maps to specific scanners in the full scanner catalog.
Recon and attack-surface mapping
Enumerate public-facing assets, subdomains, exposed services, and related signals so you can understand what is reachable and worth investigating further.
Network and service testing
Go beyond baseline monitoring with deeper port sweeps, service fingerprinting, targeted service checks, and broader vulnerability validation on internet-facing hosts.
TLS and transport security review
Validate certificate posture, protocol support, cipher exposure, and other transport-layer details that affect external trust and attack surface.
Web application testing
Run deeper web discovery, baseline web vulnerability checks, targeted validation for common web risks, and broader application-focused review when a surface needs more than monitoring.
Targeted validation and deeper proof
When a finding needs stronger evidence, PortWarden can support targeted validation and deeper testing before you decide how hard to push remediation.
Guided and human analysis
Customers can use guided analysis to interpret findings immediately, then escalate to human review for deeper reasoning, prioritization, and a full penetration test when needed.
Advanced testing should feel like running a precise technical workflow, not chasing a vague consulting process
PortWarden packages deeper capability into clear jobs so customers can move from monitoring into deeper testing without leaving the same operating workflow. Every scan is backed by industry-standard tooling — OpenVAS, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, testssl.sh, and more — documented in detail on the scanners page.
Good fit for
- Investigating suspicious external changes
- Validating a risky host or application before launch
- Going deeper after routine monitoring flags an issue
- Buying one-off security work without a heavyweight engagement
