Update 09/01/2026

This guide presents the vulnerability detection tool for your Web Hosting.

 

Introduction

  • There are thousands of cyber threats, and if your website were to be infected, your business could suffer, not only due to its unavailability, but also due to the loss of trust from your visitors and customers.
  • The tool offered by Infomaniak is a free protection that complements the antivirus and protects all Infomaniak hosting solutions against malware and security vulnerabilities.
  • Infomaniak ensures the protection of hosting by exclusively analyzing the files of websites (webroot); no other synchronous scan is performed on the rest of the hosting.

 

How this service works

The tool works in the background to detect potential security issues. These vulnerabilities could allow malicious individuals to alter the content of your websites, which could harm your reputation with your customers and search engines.

Data Privacy

Like Infomaniak, the tool complies with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): analyses are performed locally on Infomaniak's servers. The content or signatures of scanned files are not transmitted outside of the infrastructure.

In accordance with the privacy policy, the data processed is limited to the strictly necessary information and includes the username, email address, path, and file names, primarily to communicate detections to the customer.
