How PortWarden works

- How it works
Find exposure, get notified when it changes, and get clear guidance on what to fix.
From first endpoint to a prioritized fix list
PortWarden helps small teams answer two questions with less noise: what is exposed, and what should we fix first? Scheduled monitoring, clear findings, and less generic scanner output.
Add your domain or IP
Start with a public IP or domain, then tell PortWarden what you want monitored.
Verify ownership
Proof of control keeps scans authorized. Your account only monitors assets you own.
Scan on a schedule
Regular checks catch newly exposed services, port changes, and obvious misconfigurations.
Get alerted when exposure changes
New ports, service changes, or fresh findings show up quickly so you can respond before drift spreads.
Review reports and history
Evidence-backed findings, what changed since last scan, and a fix-first report your team can work from.
Fix, then retest
After you make changes, rerun checks to confirm exposure dropped the way you intended.
From free visibility to deeper on-demand testing
Start free, move to broader scheduled monitoring when you need it, then run on-demand testing for harder questions. The core workflow stays the same.
Free plan
Light monitoring for a few endpoints. Focused on visible port exposure and change awareness. Good for a baseline before you need more depth.
Basic monitoring
Ongoing monitoring for endpoint changes and broader exposure signals, plus multi-format reports and built-in guided analysis for remediation.
Premium monitoring
Everything in Basic, plus deeper vulnerability detection, richer findings, and more context for hardening decisions.
Guided remediation built into the monthly plan
On Basic and Premium, PortWarden turns scan output into multi-format reports and built-in analysis inside the portal. You stay in the same self-serve workflow.
Ask follow-up questions in plain English: what changed, what is risky, which fix comes first, and how to validate remediation. Even at 3:00 AM if that is when the work happens.
What built-in analysis helps with
- Prioritizing fixes by likely impact
- Cutting false positives from generic assumptions
- Turning findings into a practical checklist
- Helping non-specialists understand what to change
- Supporting retest and validation after a fix
- Keeping the remediation conversation inside the same workflow
Need deeper testing beyond scheduled monitoring?
PortWarden also offers on-demand advanced testing when you need stronger validation on a specific target, rollout, application, or external risk question.
Start with guided analysis in the portal, then hand off to human review when a finding needs deeper judgment or a full penetration test.
Good fit for
- Pre-launch and pre-audit checks
- New infrastructure rollouts
- Targeted recon and deeper exposure reviews
- One-off validation for a sensitive endpoint or domain
