Sucuri SiteCheck is a free remote scanner that checks a public website for injected malware, defacement, and blocklist status. It answers one useful question: is this site currently compromised? Lavawall® is not a website malware scanner. Its free Scout scanner maps your whole external attack surface, and the Lavawall® platform adds endpoint, Microsoft 365, and compliance coverage a website scan cannot see.
Where Lavawall® wins
Scout scans the whole external footprint of a domain, subdomains, TLS, exposed services, and the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records that decide whether attackers can spoof you, not just the content of one web page.
Continuous monitoring re-checks your posture on a schedule and alerts when a new asset appears or a setting regresses, instead of relying on someone remembering to run a one-off scan.
Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Azure, and Google Workspace breach detection with endpoint correlation, a layer a website scanner has no visibility into.
GRC compliance evidence across 15+ frameworks, turning your posture into auditable control coverage.
Multi-tenant and white-label, so an MSP can run branded scans for every client from one console and turn a prospect's exposure into a conversation.
Where Sucuri SiteCheck wins
Fast, free, no-account check of whether a specific public website is serving malware or has been blocklisted.
Focused website-integrity signals (defacement, injected scripts, outdated CMS hints) for WordPress and other CMS sites.
Pairs with Sucuri's own website firewall and malware-cleanup service if the site itself is what you need protected.

Frequently asked
- Does Lavawall® replace Sucuri SiteCheck?
- For checking whether a public website is serving malware or has been blocklisted, SiteCheck is a fine free tool and Lavawall® is not trying to be a website malware scanner. Scout looks at the wider attack surface, and the platform covers endpoints, Microsoft 365, and compliance that a website scan never touches.
- What does Scout scan that SiteCheck does not?
- Scout maps your domain and subdomains, TLS state, exposed services, and your email authentication records, then tracks them over time. SiteCheck focuses on the content of a single website URL.
- Is Scout free like SiteCheck?
- Yes. Two domains scan free, forever, with Scout. Paid tiers add continuous monitoring, more domains, and the full endpoint, Microsoft 365, and GRC platform.
