About ShieldCheck
We build free, passive security checks and honest comparisons for Malaysian small businesses: the Sdn Bhd with five staff, the shop with a website and a Gmail account, the clinic that sends invoices by email.
What we do
- Free tools that read public DNS records and one normal web response, then explain the results in plain English.
- Comparisons of security products, with published criteria and a source for every price and feature.
- Guides that link to official Malaysian sources such as JPDP, NACSA and the NSRC 997 hotline.
Consulting, audits and referrals
The tools and guides are free. If you want hands-on help, we also take on paid work:
- Consulting. Help to set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC, secure your website, and choose security tools that fit your business.
- Security audits. A review of your email, website and account setup, with a written list of what to fix first. We only test systems you own, with your written permission and an agreed scope.
- Referrals. If a job needs a specialist or a product we do not provide, we can introduce you to one. If we receive a referral fee, we tell you before you decide.
You never need to hire us to use the tools or read the guides. Our paid work does not change our comparisons; see how we make money. To ask about this work, see our contact page.
What we do not do
- We do not collect your email address to use the tools.
- We are not affiliated with NACSA, CyberSecurity Malaysia, MCMC, JPDP or any vendor we compare.
How we make money
Through paid consulting and audits, through affiliate or referral links, which are always marked, and possibly vendor directory listings in the future, which will be clearly labelled. Commissions never change the order or content of a comparison. Details on our disclosure page.
Who we are
We are a small team of experienced software developers. With AI, scammers can now write a convincing fake invoice or phishing email in minutes, in any language, and small businesses are the easiest targets. We started this site to help Malaysian SMEs defend themselves: free checks, plain-English guides and honest comparisons, so that protection is not only for large companies.
