What is ScanTower?

ScanTower is a cloud-based SaaS platform that performs external website security and configuration scans - including CMS/plugins/themes vulnerability detection, SSL/TLS certificate checks, certificate transparency/sub-domain discovery, HTTP security header analysis, malicious/third-party script detection (such as card-skimmers), and DNS/DNSSEC checks. No server-side agent required; just point it to a URL and get actionable alerts.

Pros: • No installation or agents required; works purely from an external vantage point. • Wide coverage of common website risks including SSL, DNS, CMS/plugin exposures and script-based threats. • Currently free to use during early access. • Clear reporting and alerts suitable for site owners, agencies and technical users. • Lightweight, simple setup, quick scans.

Cons: • External-only scanning means internal or authenticated vulnerabilities are out of scope. • Premium features (higher scan frequency, multi-site management, API integrations) not released yet. • Large enterprises may require more robust or integrated tooling. • Automated scanning can produce false positives or partial coverage.

Use cases: • Website owners wanting continuous monitoring of their public-facing assets. • Agencies managing many client websites that need standardized scanning and reporting. • Developers and incident response analysts who want an external check on SSL/TLS, DNS and front-end exposure. • E-commerce sites wanting visibility into malicious or compromised JavaScript.

Pricing and licensing: Free during early-access period. Paid plans coming with higher limits, advanced features and integrations. Fully SaaS; no on-prem deployment.

Summary: ScanTower is a solid choice for continuous external website monitoring. It provides strong visibility into certificate issues, DNS misconfigurations, plugin vulnerabilities and harmful scripts without requiring installation. It’s ideal for anyone who needs automated external scanning rather than internal or authenticated assessments. The main limitation is that premium functionality is still rolling out, so enterprise needs may require pairing it with more mature tools.
