SecureCheck: a free security check for small businesses

Small shops, clinics and schools have a website and an email address, but most cannot tell if either one is safe. A scammer can send email that looks like it came from the business. A website can leave a password file open to anyone. A professional security test costs more than many of them can pay. I built SecureCheck, a free tool that checks a website for common security problems. It looks at things that anyone on the internet can see: email protection, website security settings, files left open by mistake, fake lookalike names and open network doors. It never logs in and never touches customer data. It writes a short report in plain English that lists what to fix first, with exact steps the owner can give to their web host. After the fixes, it checks again and shows what improved. I tested it on a pretend business I built for this project. It found 14 problems, including a public password file. After the fixes, it found none. I have also tested it on real websites, but I do not show those results to avoid exposing anyone. The project code, tests, Docker setup, and demo are available on my GitHub.
