Continuous monitoring
Always-on security monitoring for your live apps.
Catch the misconfiguration regression on Tuesday, not the week before your audit. A safe, read-only watch over your live app that runs entirely from the outside: nothing to install, no credentials, zero impact on production.
How it works
Add a domain once. Watched from then on.
No agents, no DNS changes and no security background needed. Here's the whole loop, from adding a domain to proving progress.
Step 1
Add a domain
Enter a public URL, nothing to install, no DNS change and no credentials to share. Barrion discovers the subdomains for you, so the whole external surface is covered from day one.
Step 2
Get your first scan in 60 seconds
The first scan runs immediately and returns a scored report across 35+ checks. You see exactly where the live app stands before you commit to anything.
Step 3
Re-scan on your cadence
From then on Barrion re-checks automatically, weekly on Essential, daily on Business, plus ad-hoc scans whenever you ship. Findings are deduped against history, so you only hear about what actually changed.
Step 4
Get alerted, prove progress
New finding, score drop or certificate expiry routes to email, Slack or Teams in real time on Business. The scan-over-scan trend line doubles as audit evidence.
What you get
A real always-on watcher, not a once-a-year pentest.
Drift detection
Catch regressions between deploys
Most issues start as a single misconfiguration that nobody notices. Continuous scans flag them the day they appear, not the week before audit.
Cadence
Daily or weekly, your choice
Pick the cadence that fits your release rhythm: daily on Business, weekly on Essential. Trigger ad-hoc scans whenever you need.
Alerts
Email, Slack, Teams
New finding? Score drop? Cert expiry? Alerts route to whatever channel your team actually checks. Real-time on Business.
Trend
Scan-over-scan history
Track your security score over time. Tag improvements scan-over-scan, show progress to the board, give auditors a real trend line.
Multi-domain
Cover every surface
Monitor up to 10 domains and their subdomains on Business. Each gets isolated reports, isolated alerts, isolated history.
Safe
Production-safe by default
Default scans are 100% passive: no form submissions, no brute-forcing, no state changes. Safe to run against the live customer-facing app.
What it watches
35+ checks across the surface that matters.
The external layers where misconfiguration drift actually happens, observed passively on every scan.
- ✓TLS / HTTPS configuration, cipher suites, certificate validity and expiry
- ✓Security headers: CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Permissions-Policy, CORS, COOP/COEP
- ✓Cookie security flags: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite, Partitioned
- ✓DNS and email authentication: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC, CAA records
- ✓Network exposure: open ports, subdomain takeover, server information disclosure
- ✓Common web hygiene: vulnerable JS libraries, mixed content, framework headers
How it compares
More than a scheduled scan.
| One-off scanner | Barrion monitoring | Annual pentest | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Runs on its own cadence | Manual each time | Daily or weekly | Once a year |
| Catches drift between deploys | Only when you remember | Same day | Months later |
| Deduped + scored findings | Repeats every run | Only what changed | In the report |
| Trend line as audit evidence | Snapshot only | Scan-over-scan history | Point-in-time |
| Safe against production | If passive | 100% read-only | Active testing |
FAQ
Continuous monitoring, explained.
What does 'continuous' mean in continuous security monitoring?
Continuous means scans run automatically on a cadence you choose, daily on Business, weekly on Essential, without manual triggering. Findings, score changes, and certificate expiry alerts route to email, Slack, or Teams in real time on Business. The point is that a misconfiguration regression introduced today is caught today, not at your next quarterly review.
How is this different from setting up scheduled scans in another tool?
Most security scanners offer scheduling. Where Barrion is different is the downstream: findings are deduped against historical scans (you don't get re-alerted for the same issue every week), scored for impact (so a critical drift pages on-call but a minor one waits for the morning), and exported as audit evidence by default (the trend line itself is the artifact your auditor wants).
Is continuous scanning safe to run against my production app?
Yes. Continuous scans are 100% passive and read-only. They never submit forms, never brute-force endpoints, and never interact with state-changing routes. They observe TLS, headers, DNS, network surface, and email-auth records, the layers where misconfiguration drift actually happens, without touching your data or affecting availability.
Can I scan multiple domains and subdomains?
Yes. Essential covers 1 domain plus its subdomains; Business covers up to 10 domains plus subdomains, each with isolated reports, isolated alerts, and isolated score history. Subdomain discovery is automatic, you don't have to enumerate them yourself.
What kinds of issues does continuous monitoring catch?
Misconfiguration drift across TLS/HTTPS configuration, security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Permissions-Policy, CORS), cookie security flags, DNS and email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC/DNSSEC/CAA), network exposure (open ports, subdomain takeover candidates), and common web hygiene issues (vulnerable JS libraries, mixed content, framework leakage). 35+ checks total. For deeper exploit-class findings, SQL injection, XSS, broken access control, pair with on-demand AI pentesting.
Do I need to install anything or share credentials?
No. Monitoring runs entirely from the outside against your public URL, the same way a real attacker first sees your app. There's no agent to deploy, no DNS change, and no access or credentials to hand over. You add a domain and the first scan runs in about a minute.
