Getting started with SteelSuit
Run your first scan in 60 seconds.
What SteelSuit is
SteelSuit is a hosted security scanner for web applications. You give it a domain and it runs a battery of probes — DNS, TLS, security headers, technology fingerprinting, exposed-secret and critical-path checks, email auth (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and on a deep scan also port scanning, content discovery, nuclei templates, subdomain takeover, CORS, wayback, and CMS checks — then hands back a graded report.
It's built for builders who want real signal out of the box — no rule tuning, no triage backlog on day one.
Your first scan
The fastest path is the web UI:
- Sign in at steelsuit.com — auth is a magic-link email (or Google sign-in), no password.
- Enter your domain in the terminal-style input on the dashboard.
- Pick a pipeline —
fast_scan(~30s) ordeep_scan(~5 min). - Hit run. The scan page polls until completion and renders findings inline.
You don't have to keep the tab open: the scan runs server-side. Close it, come back later, and the dashboard shows the result when it's done.
What you get back
Every scan produces a letter score (A–F), severity-bucketed findings (critical / high / medium / low / info), and a downloadable PDF report. Each finding carries evidence and a recommendation, and the API can return a ready-to-paste fix_prompt for your AI coding tool (see the API reference).
Automating it
There's no separate CLI to install — SteelSuit is hosted. To automate scans (CI, scheduled checks, your own dashboards) use the REST API with an sk_ API key:
- API reference — start scans and pull findings programmatically.
- CI integration — fail a build on high-severity findings.
API access requires a plan with the API enabled (Pro).
