When Security Headers (Scott Helme) is the better choice

We'd rather be honest than waste your time.

Fast public scoring of HTTP response headers with a shareable grade badge.

  • You only care about the HTTP header grade (A+, A, B…).
  • You already use Report URI for CSP violation reporting.
  • You don't need TLS depth, DNS, email or compliance output.

When SiteGuardian is the better choice

  • You want continuous monitoring and alerts, not one-off scans.
  • You need EU data residency and GDPR-by-design processing.
  • You need TLS + DNS + email + headers + accessibility + cookies in one report.
  • You need findings mapped to NIS2, GDPR, DORA, DSA, EAA, CRA articles.
  • You want to benchmark your score against 700k EU sites.
