What Olimpio covers
Everything hackers can see, explained in plain English
Olimpio checks everything about your business that is visible from the internet — and explains what it finds, and how to fix it, in language anyone can understand.
We find everything you have online
Every part of your business that's visible on the internet — websites, login pages, old services — including the parts you forgot about.
We spot the open doors hackers look for
We check for connection points and services that shouldn't be open to the internet — the same things an attacker checks first — and flag anything that puts you at risk.
We catch known security flaws
Everything you have online is tested against thousands of known security weaknesses — from out-of-date software to exposed admin login pages.
Everything explained in plain English
Every finding explained in language you can act on — what's wrong, why it matters to your business, and exactly how to fix it, step by step.
A report you can actually share
A clear, severity-coded summary written for people, not technicians — ready to hand to your IT provider, your insurer, or your board.
Professional+Pro July
Always watching, so you don't have to
Scheduled scans run automatically, so you always know where you stand. If something new appears, you're alerted — no need to remember to check.
Professional
We find leaked keys and credentials
Access keys and credentials your business has accidentally left exposed online or in code are flagged before attackers find them — with reminders when it's time to change them.
Get ready for Cyber Essentials
Every scan maps your results against the five Cyber Essentials controls — so if a client or insurer is asking you to certify, you know exactly where you'd pass, where you'd fail, and what to fix first.
