Website security, health and performance scanning

AuraWatch

One clear view of your service health, built and backed by strategy and tech consultancy Elemental Concept.

One place for your website performance and security

Most businesses watch their services through multiple disconnected tools, each with its own login, report and jargon. Nobody has time to turn them into one answer: what needs fixing, and how urgently.

AuraWatch brings your tools and reports together in one place, providing a single pane of glass to view your service health.

Infrastructure, code, performance and availability – scored continuously, explained in plain English, and tied to a clear next step.

Four capabilities, one view

  • Web security: open ports and exposed services, thousands of known security flaws, web-application faults, encryption strength, forgotten subdomains and leaked files.
  • Code security: the repositories behind your services, checked for known flaws in the libraries they use and packages that have fallen out of date.
  • Performance: how fast your pages load, scored separately for mobile and desktop visitors alongside accessibility.
  • Availability: uptime and response time watched around the clock, with an alert the moment a service stops answering.

AuraWatch features

Continuous security scanning

Open ports, exposed services, web-application flaws, encryption quality, and forgotten subdomains, checked on a schedule, not just when you remember to click.

Mobile and desktop performance

Every scan measures how fast your site loads for mobile and desktop visitors. See core web vitals including loading speeds, blocking time and accessibility levels

Easy to read health scores

Every scan rolls up to a single number that goes up or down. The breakdown is one click away when you need it.

Plain-English explanations

Written so anyone can act on it, every finding tells you what it is, why it matters, and how to fix it.

See what changed

Every scan shows what’s new, what’s fixed, and what changed since last time.

Scales with your portfolio

Whether you’re keeping an eye on one site or managing a portfolio across several client properties, AuraWatch covers however many targets you need under a single account.

Email, Slack, and webhook alerts

Get told the moment something changes, through whichever channel you actually read.

PDF reports

Stakeholder-ready PDFs for insurance, audits, and compliance evidence, built from your real scan history.

Your whole team included on every plan

Bring your accountant, your developer, your auditor: they all see the same dashboard at no extra cost.

How it works

1

Sign up and verify your site.

Tell us your sites and verify ownership in a couple of minutes, once.

A DNS record or file upload confirms you’re authorised to have your own site scanned.

2

Continuous scanning.

We check on a schedule, on demand, whenever you push a change, and around the clock for availability.

3

See the score; take action.

Each score comes with the detail in plain English: what was found, why it matters, and what to do about it.

Fix it yourself, hand it to your developer, or bring in our team.

How AuraWatch explains your score compared to other scanners

Here’s a real example of a Next.js vulnerability, disclosed in 2025.

How other tools usually write it

(NVD entry, CVE-2025-29927) Next.js Authorization Bypass via x-middleware-subrequest. Starting in version 1.11.4 and prior to versions 12.3.5, 13.5.9, 14.2.25 and 15.2.3, it is possible to bypass authorization checks within a Next.js application if the check occurs in middleware. CVSS 3.1: 9.1 (Critical).

How aurawatch explains it

Anyone could bypass login on your site. Your site uses Next.js, and older versions have a bug where a specific request header tells Next.js to skip the check that decides whether someone is logged in. If your login or admin area relies on that check, an attacker can add the header and walk straight in with no password. The fix is to update to a patched version, or block the header at your CDN if you can’t update right away.

Both of these explain the same underlying problem.

But one version tells a security engineer what happened, the other tells a business owner what to do about it before someone else finds it first.

Reports include

Port scan: open ports, exposed admin panels and anything reachable that shouldn’t be.

Vulnerability: thousands of publicly catalogued flaws, checked continuously against your stack.

Web app: injection, broken sign-in, missing security headers and other faults

Encryption: expiring certificates, weak ciphers and outdated protocols.

Subdomains: subdomains plus any dev, staging and old sites, often running unpatched software.

Info leaks: exposed data or configuration details that give an attacker a head start.

Code security: your repositories checked for vulnerable dependencies, deprecations and tech debt

Performance: mobile and desktop speed, core web vitals and accessibility

Uptime: availability and response time tracked over time

What AuraWatch does differently

  • One pane of glass, not multiple tools: Infrastructure, code, performance and availability in one dashboard, under one score, behind one login.
  • Reporting that arrives on its own: Schedule a report over the period you choose and we send it to whoever needs it – insurers, auditors, board packs.
  • We never charge per person: Add everyone in your organisation who needs access. What you pay never depends on headcount.
  • Consent-based by design: We only ever scan services you have verified you own.

We check the code, not just what's visible from outside.

Most scanning tools stop at what an attacker can see from the outside: open ports, weak certificates, exposed admin panels. AuraWatch does that too, but it also reviews the repositories behind your services for vulnerable dependencies and packages that have quietly fallen out of date. That’s where a lot of real risk sits, and it’s usually invisible to anything that only looks at your site from the browser.

Access to remediation, when you need it

A health score tells you what’s wrong, why it matters, and what to do next. Most findings are short fixes you or your developer can knock out directly.

For anything that needs a specialist, Elemental Concept’s own cyber, security and performance consultancy is a click away.

Once we know what’s involved, we scope and quote it on its own terms, so you’re only ever paying for work when there’s actual work to do, rather than for standby access you might not use.

Do you need a website security and performance scanner?

Digital agencies and consultancies managing several client sites.

If you’re already responsible for other people’s websites as well as your own, one dashboard covering every property beats logging into a different tool for every client.

MSPs and IT managed service providers.

A way to fold continuous scanning into your existing service without adding another vendor relationship for every account you manage.

SMEs and scale ups.

Most businesses this size have more than one website or app to keep an eye on, and nobody’s watching all of them. AuraWatch covers them all from one dashboard.

Was your last security check a one off?

If the most recent review of your site was a single project rather than something that runs continuously, that’s usually the sign it’s time to move on from occasional checks to ongoing ones.

FAQ

Is AuraWatch just another vulnerability scanner?

No. Most scanning tools focus on one thing, usually either security or performance. AuraWatch brings security, performance and code level review together into a single score, and it’s backed by a consultancy that can fix what it finds, not just report it.

No. AuraWatch only scans sites that have been explicitly signed up and verified by their owner. There’s no passive scanning and no scanning of sites that haven’t asked for it. That matters both practically and legally, since unauthorised scanning of a website can fall under the Computer Misuse Act, and it’s a line we don’t cross.

Not for most of them. Findings are written in plain English with a clear explanation of what to do next. Where something does need technical work, you can hand it to your own developer or bring in our team.

Yes. Every scan measures how a site performs for both mobile and desktop visitors, alongside the security checks, so a slow experience doesn’t hide behind a page that otherwise looks fine.

No. A penetration test is a manual, point in time engagement where a tester actively tries to break into a system, and it’s the right tool for a specific, deep audit, often for compliance reasons a scan alone can’t satisfy. AuraWatch is continuous automated scanning: checking known vulnerabilities, configuration issues and exposures on a schedule, rather than a person attempting live exploitation. Many businesses use both, treating AuraWatch as the ongoing baseline and a formal pen test as the periodic deep dive. If you are interested in pen tests, please contact us for more information.

You could. Some of what AuraWatch checks for draws on open source tools, such as Google Lighthouse, that are freely available elsewhere, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. What you’re actually paying for is that nobody has time to run five different tools, log into five different dashboards, and translate five different report formats into a single answer to the only question that matters: what needs fixing, and how urgently. AuraWatch does that translation continuously, in one place, with a route to a person when a finding needs more than an explanation.
