For growing businesses, our Essential plan at $39/month provides advanced security checks, continuous monitoring, and email alerts - perfect for small teams that need automated security monitoring without the complexity of enterprise solutions. Unlike expensive enterprise security tools that require dedicated security teams, Barrion is designed to be used by developers and small business owners directly.

Key advantages for small businesses: No setup required, results in under 1 minute, actionable remediation guidance, and no need for security expertise to understand and act on findings.

Barrion offers several advantages over traditional security tools like OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite, particularly for teams without dedicated security expertise:

• Ease of Use: No installation, configuration, or security knowledge required - just enter a URL and get results
• Speed: Results in under 1 minute vs. hours of manual testing with traditional tools
• Automation: Continuous monitoring and automated alerts vs. manual testing schedules
• Actionable Results: Clear remediation steps vs. technical vulnerability reports
• Cost-Effective: Starting at $0 vs. expensive enterprise licenses

While OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite are powerful for security professionals, Barrion democratizes security testing by making it accessible to developers and small teams who need quick, reliable security insights without the complexity.

Barrion's free plan includes 18 essential security checks covering the most critical security vulnerabilities:

The free plan also includes 5 manual scans per day, PDF report generation, and detailed remediation guidance for all findings.

Yes, Barrion is particularly well-suited for healthcare and fintech applications due to their strict security and compliance requirements. Our comprehensive security checks help ensure compliance with regulations like HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2.

Healthcare Applications: Barrion's TLS/HTTPS validation, security headers analysis, and cookie security checks are essential for protecting patient data. Our email security checks (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) help secure communication channels, while continuous monitoring ensures ongoing compliance.

Fintech Applications: Our advanced security checks including CORS validation, network exposure detection, and vulnerable JavaScript library detection help protect financial data and transactions. The continuous monitoring feature is crucial for maintaining security posture in the rapidly evolving fintech landscape.

Both industries benefit from our non-intrusive scanning approach - no access to sensitive source code or databases required, making it safe for production environments while providing comprehensive security coverage.

The frequency of security scans depends on your application's risk profile and development cycle:

• Production Applications: Weekly scans recommended for stable applications
• Development/Staging: After each major deployment or weekly
• High-Risk Applications: Daily scans for applications handling sensitive data
• New Applications: Initial scan, then weekly for the first month

Our paid plans include continuous monitoring that automatically runs weekly scans and sends alerts when new vulnerabilities are detected. This eliminates the need to remember to run manual scans and ensures you're always aware of your security posture.

For teams with frequent deployments, we recommend using our Business plan which includes unlimited manual scans, allowing you to scan after every deployment without worrying about limits.
