Hey dev.to! We're QwikChek — a security scanning platform built for development teams who ship fast and want to stay secure.
We're a product of Adsero Security, an information security and compliance consulting firm with 11 years of experience in penetration testing, compliance consulting, and DevSecOps. We built QwikChek because we kept seeing the same problem: the gap between "developers know security matters" and "developers have practical tools to do something about it."
The Problem We're Solving
Most security tools were built for security teams. They cost thousands per month, take days to configure, produce reports that require specialized training to interpret, and assume you have a dedicated team to act on the results.
That doesn't work for:
- Solo developers shipping side projects
- Small startups with no security team
- Dev teams that want to move fast without shipping vulnerabilities
So developers skip security scanning entirely. They tell themselves they'll deal with it later. Later becomes never — until something breaks.
What QwikChek Does
QwikChek runs automated security scans against your web applications and gives you results you can actually act on.
- Point it at your app — enter a URL, no agents to install
- Scans for OWASP Top 10 and beyond — SQL injection, XSS, misconfigurations, missing headers, and more
- Prioritized, clear results — critical issues first, with explanations a developer can understand
- Actionable remediation guidance — not just "you have a vulnerability" but "here's how to fix it"
Scans take minutes, not days. Plans start at $39/month. No enterprise sales calls required.
What We'll Post Here
We plan to use this account to share genuinely useful security content for developers:
- Security fundamentals — CVE, CWE, OWASP Top 10 explained in plain language
- Practical guides — how to prevent common vulnerabilities in your stack
- Vulnerability breakdowns — what happened, why it matters, and what to learn from it
- Dev tips — quick security wins you can implement today
We're not here to sell you on fear. We're here because we think security knowledge makes better developers, and dev.to is the right place to share it.
