Most website owners only think about security when the site has already been hacked: spam ads appear on pages, clients complain about personal data leaks, and Yandex and Google mark the site as dangerous, instantly blocking search traffic. A hack is not an accident, but the result of automated vulnerability scanning by bots that search around the clock for outdated versions of CMS, plugins, or unsecured server ports.
Website security audit from STARCODE is a preemptive strike against cyber threats. We conduct a full range of checks: from automated scanning to manual code analysis and web server configuration. We identify hidden backdoors, shells, SQL injection, XSS, and brute force vulnerabilities, helping close gaps before attackers discover them.
Websites end up on search engine blacklists weekly due to viruses and hacks
Vulnerabilities are found in third-party plugins, themes, and server configurations
Automatic scanning of the internet by bots in search of vulnerable websites
Confidentiality — we sign a strict NDA agreement before receiving access
There is no 'eternal' security. New zero-day vulnerabilities appear every day. A security audit helps understand current risks and build a defense system that minimizes the likelihood of a successful attack on your website.
We combine automated software with manual expert analysis of code and server configuration.
We analyze the project's source code statically (SAST) for OWASP Top-10 vulnerabilities and hardcoded passwords. Then we perform dynamic testing (DAST), simulating attacks (pentest) on the live website.
This guarantees the detection of both architectural code errors and web server configuration bugs.
Malicious code is rarely on the surface. Hackers hide backdoors inside legitimate CMS core files, obfuscate code (encode in Base64), or inject it into the database. Standard hosting antiviruses often miss them.
We compare the checksums of website files with baseline versions and manually clean up any suspicious scripts.
Web server vulnerability is the easiest way to hijack control of the entire site. We check the operating system version, open ports, Nginx/Apache/OpenLiteSpeed web server configuration, file write permissions, and database settings.
Based on this, we provide clear specifications for settings hardening, system directory blocking, and resource limits.
Sequential and safe analysis of your entire infrastructure without interrupting website operation.
We sign a non-disclosure agreement. We collect access to hosting, server (SSH), database, and CMS panel under strict control.
We scan the server's outer perimeter (ports), verify SSL certificate correctness, DNSSEC settings, and HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options).
We scan the site file structure with specialized software for trojans, webshells, hidden redirects, and spam mailers. We verify the integrity of CMS core files.
We simulate attacks on feedback forms, authentication, search, and cart. We test website resistance to SQLi, XSS, CSRF, and Broken Authentication attempts.
We check file and folder permissions on the server (CHMOD), CMS configuration file settings (wp-config, .htaccess, etc.), and database user privilege levels.
We prepare a detailed report describing all vulnerabilities, classifying risks on the CVSS scale, and providing a step-by-step protection guide (Hardening). We present the report to developers.
We use specialized licensed software and open-source utilities recognized in the cybersecurity field.
Professional vulnerability scanners for detecting SQL injections, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), insecure paths, server misconfigurations, and headers.
Nmap is used to audit server network ports and services. Linux Malware Detect (Maldet) paired with ClamAV scans files for signatures of backdoors, web shells, and ad redirects.
Specialized scanners for popular CMSs (WordPress, Bitrix, OpenCart) that allow checking core and installed module versions against an international database of known vulnerabilities (CVE).
