Security & Compliance
Prepare your systems
for security and
compliance review
Darwin assesses security risk, data protection, access and identity management, and compliance gaps across your systems. We help define the controls, remediation, governance, and certification work required.
What we work on
Where security and compliance work needs to start
Security and compliance work often starts when a website, data flow or internal system has no clear control, evidence trail or owner.
Website security and attack surface
Assess domains, DNS/TLS, CMS, plugins, libraries, security headers and third-party scripts. Broader engagements can include security risk assessments, infrastructure review, and vulnerability and penetration testing.
Privacy and data-flow risk
Review forms, cookies, consent, tag managers and third-party transfers to understand where visitor data travels and which technical controls need review.
Access, governance and remediation
Review access and identity-management needs, governance and policy frameworks, security processes, and remediation responsibilities so issues can move to an agreed action.
Compliance gap analysis and data protection
Scope compliance gap analysis across GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO, along with data-protection audits and support for compliance implementation and certification work.
How it works
Start with the requirement you need to meet
- 01
Define the scope
Clarify the security or compliance requirement, the systems involved, the available access and whether the free public audit is the right entry point.
- 02
Assess controls and evidence
Review the agreed systems, controls, data flows and available evidence to identify where the requirement, ownership or remediation path breaks down.
- 03
Prioritize and coordinate
Set the agreed remediation and readiness work, including implementation or coordination only where separately scoped.
What you get
- An agreed scope for the relevant systems, controls and requirements
- A view of the gaps in security, privacy, data flows or evidence
- Prioritized remediation and readiness work with owners and dependencies
- A clear boundary between Darwin work, internal decisions and vendor actions
Free Website Security Audit
Start with your public website
A free entry offer for the public website.
Free first pass
See what an external review finds
Darwin reviews publicly observable posture: active domains and DNS, TLS, HSTS/CSP and other headers, CMS signals, tag-manager and third-party scripts, forms and public data flows, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC email signals. It is passive, external and unauthenticated.
You receive an 8–20-slide evidence-based PDF with severity-based findings, what is already working, affected surfaces and a prioritized remediation roadmap. It does not prove a site is secure or replace a penetration test.

Before you book
A few common questions
What does Darwin’s Security & Compliance service include?
Darwin provides security risk assessments, compliance gap analysis, data-protection audits, infrastructure review, access and identity-management work, governance frameworks, and support for compliance implementation and certification work. The exact systems, requirements and outcomes are agreed before work begins.
When will I receive the report?
The audit begins after email confirmation. We email the report when processing is complete. Delivery time may vary depending on the public assets reviewed.
What does the free Website Security Audit cover?
A passive external review of publicly observable domains, DNS/TLS, headers, CMS signals, forms, data flows, tag-manager and third-party scripts, plus email-security signals.
Is the free audit a penetration test or formal compliance assessment?
No. It does not use login access, exploit attempts, form submissions or authenticated testing. Those activities require separately agreed scope and access.
Is the audit free, and what access is required?
Yes. The first pass is free and requires no account, payment card, login credentials or privileged system access.
