Description

Script Scanner constantly monitors third-party JavaScript and alerts website owners and teams when changes are detected.

History

Script Scanner was founded in 2019 by David Melvin. It was originally developed as an internal tool to monitor the third-party JavaScript deployed on the websites owned and operated by Ascend Online Media Limited.

Third-party JavaScript is deployed on websites to provide services, including analytics, chat, social media or payment scripts. However, third-party JavaScript can be a security risk for the website, as well as the customers of the website. Third-party JavaScript can make harmful changes to a website, or intercept customer data, and as a result is a growing target for hackers.

ScriptScanner.com now provides a software as a service, or SAAS, version of Script Scanner, available to companies around the world. Leading supermarket, health providers and web hosting companies use Script Scanner to monitor their third-party JavaScript.
