The platform combines patch management, configuration assessment, multi-tenant cloud breach detection (Microsoft 365 / Entra ID / Azure / Google Workspace), file integrity monitoring, event-log analytics, Akira-ransomware IOC matching, automatic Cloudflare edge blocking of bad actors, managed DMARC aggregate-report monitoring with guided enforcement, kernel-free application control, GRC compliance mapping across over 75 frameworks, multi-tenant remote support, smart helpdesk, web chat, and (added in 2026) M365 / Entra / Azure configuration backup and rollback. One agent runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The same console and the same per-tenant data model serve the cloud-native modules. Lavawall is owned, developed, and operated by ThreeShield Information Security Corporation, an audit firm in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. ThreeShield brings two decades of audit findings into the product: the things Lavawall checks are the things ThreeShield's auditors found broken, year over year, in client environments. Pricing is published in CAD and USD with a 14-day free trial; the Scout external attack-surface scanner is free forever for two domains. The platform targets MSPs and lean internal IT teams of 1–100 endpoints per client. Three pricing tiers: **Grow** is the security-baseline tier (patching, breach detection, file monitoring, configuration assessment); **Professional** adds full M365 / Google Workspace breach detection, M365 configuration change monitoring, and unlimited remote support; **Complete** bundles GRC compliance, smart helpdesk, web chat, multi-tenant remote support, M365 / Entra / Azure configuration backup with rollback, and security awareness training with the Outlook Phishing Reporter. Add-ons include per-named-agent helpdesk, per-user M365 backup, and per-user security awareness training + Phishing Reporter (C$1.95 / US$1.50 per user/mo, month-to-month). --- ## M365 / Entra / Azure configuration backup and rollback **Source: https://lavawall.com/m365-backup/: feature page** Configuration backup is the missing security layer between mailbox/file backup (Dropsuite, SkyKick, Veeam) and EDR. EDR doesn't see Conditional Access policies disabled. Mailbox backup doesn't see OAuth grants quietly opened to `Mail.ReadWrite.All`. Microsoft's audit log retains 30 days at most on default plans, has no "undo", and offers no diff against the previous state. Lavawall's configuration backup module snapshots ~30 object types across Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Azure subscriptions on a configurable per-object-type schedule (typically 15–60 minutes). Each pass canonicalises the captured JSON, computes a SHA-256 hash for content addressing (so identical states aren't stored twice), and gzips bodies over 8KB. Diffs use JSON Patch (RFC 6902); the change feed shows path-level operations, not just "this object changed". Each detected change is correlated with the M365 unified audit log (already collected for the breach-detection module) to surface the UPN, IP address, and country of the actor. Severity is assigned at detection time: a Conditional Access policy state change is critical; a named-location rename is informational; any OAuth permission grant change is high. **Object types covered (~30):** - **Entra identity policies:** Conditional Access policies, named locations, authentication strength policies, authentication methods policy, authorization policy, cross-tenant access policy - **Entra applications & roles:** App registrations, service principals, OAuth permission grants (delegated and admin-consented), directory role assignments (active and PIM), role-assignable groups, role-assignable group members, custom security attribute definitions - **Entra users & scoping:** Entra users (cloud and hybrid, with attribute-level diffs on accountEnabled, assignedLicenses, manager, jobTitle, department, on-prem-sync state, proxy addresses, otherMails), administrative units - **Intune:** Device configuration profiles, compliance policies, app protection policies (iOS and Android), mobile apps, Autopilot deployment profiles, endpoint security policies - **M365 tenant:** Organization settings, verified domains, subscribed SKUs, Microsoft Teams team-level settings (memberSettings, messagingSettings, guestSettings, funSettings, discoverySettings), Exchange Online transport / mail-flow rules - **Azure subscription resources:** Subscription RBAC role assignments, Key Vault access policies, Network Security Group rules, managed identities **Rollback workflow:** Lavawall enforces a strict three-step lifecycle. **Plan** generates an action list from existing snapshots without calling Graph. **Approve** records who reviewed and authorised the plan. **Execute** runs on the m365sync host: only at this stage does Graph get called. Dry-run mode previews every Graph call without making any. Continue-on-error is per-rollback. Action ordering respects dependency tiers (NSG rules before subscription role assignments, OAuth grants before app-registration restoration). Rollback row state is one of: planning, planned, approved, executing, completed, partial, failed, dry_run_complete, aborted. **Initial-load suppression:** When Lavawall first observes a (company, object_type) pair, it captures the baseline silently: no change rows are inserted. Subsequent passes diff against the baseline and produce normal change rows. This avoids 700+ "added" entries flooding the change feed on first deployment. **Pricing:** Bundled in the Lavawall Complete tier or available a-la-carte at C$3.95 / US$2.95 per user per month. Requires either the Microsoft 365 / Entra integration (already present for tenants that use Lavawall's breach detection) plus optional Azure ARM scope for the Azure subscription object types. --- ## Configuration backup comparisons Comparisons with Cayosoft, Dropsuite, AvePoint, CIPP, and N-able Cove are on the comparison pages listed below and in the page index at the end of this file. Each page links every statement about another vendor to that vendor's own documentation. --- ## AD & M365 user reporting **Source: https://lavawall.com/User_Management_for_MSPs/: feature page** Lavawall's AD and Microsoft 365 user reporting module unifies user-hygiene reporting across Active Directory (on-premises, via the Lavawall agent on a domain-joined Windows host), Microsoft 365 / Entra ID (via Microsoft Graph), and Google Workspace (via the Admin SDK). The same report framework spans all three so an MSP managing a hybrid client sees one consistent inactive-user list rather than three separate ones. **Reports produced:** - **Inactive users** per identity source per configurable threshold (default 90 days). AD uses `lastLogonTimestamp` (replicated across DCs); M365 uses Entra sign-in logs; Google uses per-user `lastLoginTime`. Shared mailboxes, external guests, and tagged service accounts are excluded. - **Disabled-but-licensed users**: M365 accounts in the "disabled" state still holding a paid licence. Each row shows the SKU and current cost. - **Privilege creep**: users added to security-significant groups (Domain Admins / Enterprise Admins / Schema Admins on AD; Global Administrator / Privileged Role Administrator / Application Administrator on Entra) with the date of the most recent addition and the actor who added them. - **MFA gaps**: M365 users without registered MFA methods, broken out by privilege tier. Global Administrator without MFA is always a Critical-band finding. - **Sign-in anomalies**: impossible-travel, sign-ins from unexpected countries, brute-force patterns. Cross-referenced with the breach-detection module for full context. - **Licence-cost recovery**: the dollar value of recoverable seats per tenant. - **Group membership change feed**: adds and removes on every security group, with actor and timestamp. - **Password-policy violations**: users whose effective policy is weaker than the configured baseline. **MSP multi-tenant model:** one technician sees an inactive-user list, a privilege-creep summary, an MFA-coverage report, and a stale-licence reclaim list spanning every client in the MSP's book of business: filterable by client, by source, and by report type. The data feeds the Notifications module's notification types 21/22/23 so the right contact gets a digest when the threshold is crossed. Per-recipient overrides take precedence over per-company defaults. **Competitive positioning:** for most MSPs, this module replaces ManageEngine ADAudit Plus and Netwrix Auditor for the user-reporting use case. ADAudit Plus and Netwrix go deeper on regulator-style attribute-write audit archives and Group Policy change tracking; Lavawall is broader (AD + M365 + Google Workspace in one module) and bundled with the rest of an MSP platform at MSP pricing. --- ## On-premises file change monitoring (FIM) **Source: https://lavawall.com/file-monitoring/: feature page** Lavawall's cross-platform agent captures file integrity monitoring (FIM) events on every managed Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoint and server. Creates, writes, deletes, renames, and ACL changes are flagged at the OS level, attributed to the actor where the OS exposes that information, and surfaced in the same change feed as the rest of Lavawall's security signals. **Capture mechanisms:** - **Windows:** the agent registers as a minifilter client (no kernel driver of our own) and consumes Security event log entries 4663, 4660, 4670 (file/object access) and 5140, 5145 (file-share access). Windows file-server share access shows actor SID, source IP, and operation per file. - **Linux:** the kernel `auditd` subsystem for path-rooted file events with actor attribution, plus `inotify` for high-throughput change detection. Both NFS-exported and Samba-exported directories are covered. - **macOS:** the Endpoint Security framework (Apple's supported successor to kauth). No kernel extension; full notarisation; works on Apple Silicon and Intel. **Default policy** covers system-critical paths: Windows `%SystemRoot%\System32`, `Program Files`, scheduled-task and service binaries, persistence-related registry hives; Linux `/etc`, `/usr/bin`, `/usr/sbin`, `/etc/cron.d`, `/etc/systemd/system`; macOS `/System`, `/usr`, `/Library`, `/private/etc`, LaunchDaemons. Per-tenant configuration extends coverage to client-specific paths (shared file servers, clinical record stores, software repositories) without agent redeployment. **Antivirus-tampering detection** is first-class: Defender exclusions added at the file-system level, AV service binaries renamed or deleted, and similar tampering patterns are surfaced as high-severity events. **Compliance evidence**: file integrity monitoring is named-control evidence for PCI DSS Requirement 11.5, HIPAA 45 CFR § 164.312(c), NIST SP 800-171 SI.L2-3.14, CMMC 2.0 SI.L2-3.14, ISO 27001:2022 A.8.16 and A.8.20, CIS Controls v8 Safeguards 8.7 and 8.11, and SOC 2 CC6.6/CC7.2. The change feed exports as CSV, JSON, or the Lavawall-native evidence-bundle format used by ThreeShield audit reports. **Competitive positioning:** Varonis and Netwrix Auditor offer deeper file-activity intelligence with sensitive-data classification and long-term audit archives priced for enterprise. Lavawall covers the FIM control evidence MSPs need for compliance plus correlation with endpoint event-log analytics and identity activity, bundled with the rest of the MSP platform at MSP pricing. For most MSP-served SMB and mid-market clients, Lavawall is the right tool; for enterprises with dedicated DLP and records-management programmes, Varonis or Netwrix may still be the better fit. --- ## SharePoint & OneDrive file-change monitoring **Source: https://lavawall.com/sharepoint-monitoring/: feature page** Lavawall's SharePoint and OneDrive change-monitoring module consumes the Microsoft 365 unified audit log on a continuous cycle per tenant (typically every 15–30 minutes). The same Microsoft Graph application registration that powers the breach-detection and configuration-backup modules covers this one: one tenant onboarding, three modules. Read-only scopes throughout. **Events captured:** every file activity in the unified audit log (accessed, modified, uploaded, downloaded, deleted, moved, renamed, restored from recycle bin, permanently deleted, version restored) with actor UPN, client IP, file path, and site collection. OneDrive for Business is treated as a per-user SharePoint site; the module surfaces both under one change feed with a site / user filter. **External-sharing visibility** is first-class: anonymous link creation, sharing with an external recipient, external collaborator added to a site. The change feed shows the file, the actor, the recipient, and the permission level (read / edit / owner). **Detection patterns:** - **Mass-download detection**: a user downloading N files in M minutes from a site they don't normally access. Threshold configurable per site collection. - **Ransomware-encryption pattern**: mass-modify events with file-rename and content-replacement patterns. SharePoint versioning gives recovery; Lavawall gives time-to-detect. - **Site permission changes** (site collection administrator additions, site-level role assignments, hub-association changes) correlated with the configuration-backup change feed for the same tenant. **Retention:** Microsoft 365 retains audit data for 90 days on E3 and 180 days on E5. Lavawall ingests on the polling cycle and retains for the contract term. The endpoint-correlation layer (file-download event correlated with a Lavawall-managed endpoint) materially improves finding confidence over the cloud signal alone. **Compliance evidence:** SharePoint file activity feeds SOC 2 (CC6.1, CC7.2), HIPAA (§ 164.312(b)), the Canadian privacy bundle (PIPEDA / Alberta PIPA / BC PIPA / Quebec Law 25: personal information transferred outside Canada requires safeguards; external sharing is the operational evidence layer), NIST SP 800-171 / CMMC 2.0 (AU.L2-3.3.1, MP.L2-3.8.1), and ISO 27001:2022 (A.5.34, A.8.16). --- ## Google Drive & Shared Drive change monitoring **Source: https://lavawall.com/Google_Drive_Change_Monitoring/: feature page** Lavawall's Google Drive change-monitoring module consumes the Google Workspace Reports API and the Drive Activity API on a continuous cycle per tenant. Coverage spans both My Drive (per-user) and Shared Drives (team-owned), surfaced in one change feed with a scope filter. Shares its OAuth-delegated service account with the Google Workspace breach-detection module: one tenant onboarding covers both. Read-only scopes throughout. **Events captured:** every Drive activity event (created, modified, viewed, downloaded, deleted, moved, copied, renamed, restored from trash, permanently deleted) with actor email, source IP, file or folder identifier, and Drive scope. **External-sharing visibility:** sharing to an external Google account, to a personal Gmail address, to a non-Google address, anonymous-link generation, link-target-audience changes. The change feed shows the actor, the recipient, the file, and the permission level (viewer / commenter / editor / owner). Anonymous-link generation is flagged separately because it is a higher-risk pattern than a named-recipient share. **Pre-defined detection patterns:** - **Mass-download detection**: a user downloading N files in M minutes from a Drive they don't normally access. - **Departing-employee pattern**: bulk owner-transfers, broad sharing-link generation, mass downloads in a user's last two weeks of employment. - **Ransomware-encryption pattern**: mass-modify with content-replacement patterns. Drive revision history gives recovery; Lavawall gives time-to-detect. - **Shared Drive membership changes**: members added, removed, or promoted, correlated with the actor's Google Workspace identity activity. - **Drive sharing-policy changes**: domain-level and OU-level sharing-policy changes captured separately from file-level events. **Retention:** Google Workspace retains audit data for 180 days on Business / Enterprise plans. Lavawall ingests on the polling cycle and retains for the contract term, exportable as CSV, JSON, or the Lavawall-native evidence-bundle format. --- ## Auditing and data-security comparisons Comparisons with Netwrix Auditor, ManageEngine ADAudit Plus, Quest Change Auditor, and Varonis are on the comparison pages listed below. Each links the other vendor's facts to its own documentation. --- ## Risk-based notifications and digest scheduling **Source: https://lavawall.com/Notifications/** Lavawall classifies every event into one of five severity bands (**Critical, Server outage, High, Moderate, Low**) and routes them through a per-recipient delivery model. Each recipient has independent settings for which bands they receive, how often each band can repeat as an immediate email (rate limit), and when their daily digest slots fire. Defaults are 1 minute across all bands; an admin can disable the immediate path for any band via a per-band "Send notifications" toggle and rely on the digest schedule for batched delivery. Critical and Server-outage events have no daily digest of their own (they're always urgent) but appear in any lower-band digest the recipient has configured. The digest model is unusual and worth understanding: digests follow a **"this band and above" rule**. A Low digest at 9 AM catches every band: Low, Moderate, High, Critical, and Server outage: accumulated since the last fire. A Moderate digest catches Moderate and above. A High digest catches High, Critical, and Server outage. One well-placed digest can give a recipient a complete record of the day without subscribing to three or four separate ones. Each non-Critical band exposes two configurable digest slots, each with its own time-of-day and an independent day-of-week selection (defaults: Mon–Fri for slot 1, Sat–Sun for slot 2: every day is editable on every slot). Empty digests are suppressed: if nothing has accumulated by the time a slot fires, no email is sent. Timezone handling is per-recipient with IANA zone identifiers (e.g. `America/Edmonton`, `Europe/London`). Digest wall-clock times stay correct year-round through daylight-saving transitions because the matcher uses MySQL `CONVERT_TZ(UTC_TIMESTAMP(), 'UTC', timezone)` rather than storing UTC clock times directly. The settings UI shows times in the recipient's configured zone and displays a live "= HH:MM your local time" hint computed in the browser using `Intl.DateTimeFormat`, so an admin in Toronto editing an Edmonton subscriber's 9 AM digest sees both wall-clocks side by side. **Inactive-user alerts** are first-class: Lavawall scans active accounts in Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace for users that have not signed in for a configurable threshold (default 90 days) and surfaces them as notification types 21/22/23. Each source has its own threshold and an optional re-notify interval, so a long-dormant account doesn't silently flood the inbox. Per-recipient overrides take precedence over per-company defaults. Shared mailboxes, external guests, and non-licensed accounts are excluded from M365; service accounts in AD can be exempted or included based on subscriber preference. **MSP-native multi-tenancy**: a single subscription can be scoped two ways and both modes coexist. *This company only* scopes the recipient to their own organization's events (used for client-side IT contacts. *This company and all client companies* fans out to every child company under the recipient's company in the hierarchy) used for service desk distribution lists, NOC pagers, and account managers. Type-level filtering layers on top: a subscriber can opt into all notification types (the default, which automatically picks up new types Lavawall introduces) or a specific list (e.g. only Security and Identity types, excluding Patching). **Operational details**: the notification engine runs on a 5-minute tick on a single designated host (`SYS_Servers.PSAdaemon=1`) with a MySQL advisory lock as belt-and-suspenders so duplicate sends are impossible even during a server-flag transition. Outbound mail is signed with DKIM and delivered through Lavawall's own SMTP relay for consistent deliverability to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and on-premises systems. The matcher uses a single SQL `UNION ALL` over (a) direct subscribers and (b) include-children subscribers, with a `ROW_NUMBER()` window to de-duplicate one delivery per notification per recipient even when an event matches multiple severity arms. --- ## Microsoft 365 / Entra ID / Azure breach detection **Source: https://lavawall.com/m365-security/** Lavawall's M365 / Entra / Azure breach-detection module is multi-tenant identity threat detection and response (ITDR). It correlates the M365 unified audit log, Entra sign-in logs, Azure activity logs, and (when present) Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps signals against a curated set of breach patterns: impossible-travel sign-ins, mass-mailbox-rule creation, OAuth grant abuse, suspicious app registrations, suspicious role assignments, MFA bypass attempts, and similar. Detection runs every few minutes per tenant. Findings include the actor's UPN, source IP, country, and the audit-log records that triggered the rule. Findings can be reviewed in the Lavawall console, exported as compliance evidence, or escalated via webhook / email. The same audit data backs the configuration-backup change-feed correlation: every config change in the change feed inherits actor identity from this dataset. Critically, Lavawall correlates cloud findings with **endpoint** signals from the Lavawall agent on the user's Windows, macOS, or Linux endpoints. A suspicious mailbox-rule-creation event correlated with a freshly compromised endpoint is a higher-confidence finding than either signal alone. --- ## Endpoint file integrity monitoring & event-log analytics **Source: https://lavawall.com/config-vulnerabilities/ (endpoint configuration vulnerabilities; https://lavawall.com/EventLog_Windows_Linux_Mac/) event-log analytics** Lavawall's cross-platform agent monitors endpoint file changes (file integrity monitoring) and event-log streams (Windows Event Log, macOS unified log, Linux journald/syslog) on every managed endpoint. File changes in sensitive directories (system32, /etc, /usr/bin, application install dirs) are flagged; security-relevant log events (failed admin sign-ins, privilege escalation, scheduled-task creation, service installation, antivirus tampering) are surfaced. This is a layer that pure-cloud config backup tools (Cayosoft, Dropsuite, AvePoint, CIPP) do not cover. When attackers steal admin credentials they typically pivot to endpoints: write a script to a domain controller, modify a hosts file, harvest cookies from a workstation. File integrity + event-log analytics catches what tenant-config tools miss. Lavawall ships both layers in one platform; the breach-detection findings correlate the two. --- ## GRC compliance **Source: https://lavawall.com/grc/** Lavawall maps endpoint, identity, and configuration evidence to over 75 compliance framework controls. Each detected finding (or each absence of a finding) becomes evidence for one or more control statements; auditors can export evidence reports filtered by framework. **Frameworks supported:** CMMC 2.0 (Levels 1 & 2), CPCSC (Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification), NIST CSF 2.0, NIST SP 800-171, CIS Controls v8, SOC 2 (Type II), ISO 27001:2022, HIPAA Security Rule, PCI DSS v4, PIPEDA, Alberta PIPA, BC PIPA, Quebec Law 25, Alberta Health Information Act, BC E-Health Act (PHIPPA SBC 2008 c.38), NERC CIP, IIROC, CPA Canada, Australian Essential Eight. GRC is an output of running Lavawall: the security work the platform does anyway is what generates the audit evidence. There's no separate "compliance product" to install; the GRC module is bundled in the Complete tier. --- ## Other platform capabilities **Patching: https://lavawall.com/apps/**: Lavawall's public application catalog lists every one of the 7,400+ applications it patches. This is not a marketing list; it's the live patching index, kept in sync with the Lavawall agent. Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, and Linux. **Akira ransomware hunter: https://lavawall.com/ransomware-hunter/**: Active IOC matching against the known Akira tooling chain (file hashes, registry artefacts, process names, network indicators). Akira is one of the higher-impact ransomware groups affecting Canadian SMBs since 2024; the hunter ships in every Lavawall tier. **Cloudflare Sentinel: automatic bad-actor blocking: https://lavawall.com/Lavawall_Cloudflare_Sentinel/**: Watches the traffic to every Cloudflare site an organization manages and automatically blocks the IP addresses behaving like attackers: vulnerability scanners and reconnaissance bots, sources generating 404 floods, and repeat offenders that trip the Cloudflare WAF: at the Cloudflare edge before they reach the origin. Its defining safety feature is automatic allow-listing: the organization's own offices, devices, and tools are recognized and never blocked, even when they generate attack-like traffic (e.g. a monitoring service or the org's own domain scanner), so the system cannot cause a self-inflicted lockout. A manual trusted-address list is also available. The blocklist is self-managing: blocks expire automatically, entries not seen attacking for a long time are retired, and when account capacity is tight the oldest, least-active offenders are evicted first so newly-active attackers stay blocked: keeping usage within Cloudflare's account-wide list limit (10,000 items on non-Enterprise plans). A watch-only dry-run mode logs what would be blocked without changing anything, configurable per site. Bulk clean-up tools purge old entries in batches rather than Cloudflare's 25-at-a-time dashboard limit. Multi-site and multi-tenant, with one-click clean removal. Works on the Cloudflare Free plan. **Multi-tenant remote support: https://lavawall.com/remote-support/**: Browser-based remote-support sessions, country-restricted by default (operators in Canada/US can't accidentally reach an endpoint in a different jurisdiction without explicit per-tenant whitelisting). No client install on the technician side. **Smart helpdesk: https://lavawall.com/smart_helpdesk/**: Per-named-agent unlimited-ticket helpdesk pricing (vs per-ticket or per-user). MSPs hiring a new helpdesk technician add one Lavawall agent seat; tickets don't meter. **LAN scan & asset management: https://lavawall.com/LAN_Scan_Asset_Management/**: Endpoint-driven LAN inventory; the Lavawall agent enumerates the local network so you don't need a separate scan appliance. **Web chat: https://lavawall.com/web-chat/**: Multi-tenant chat widget for MSP client websites (sub-resource on the public chat.lavawall.com host). **Camera/mic/speaker monitor (free): https://lavawall.com/camera-monitor/**: Free Windows tool that alerts the user when a process activates the camera, microphone, or speaker. Useful for travel laptops and shared workstations. **Scout free domain scanner: https://lavawall.com/scan**: Free external attack-surface scan, two domains free forever, no signup required for the first scan. White-label Scout (https://lavawall.com/white-label-scanner/) lets MSPs embed Scout on their own marketing site. --- ## Scout: external domain & website security scanner **Source: https://lavawall.com/scan** Scout is Lavawall's external attack-surface scanner. It assesses a domain and website from the outside, the way an attacker or a search-engine crawler would, with nothing installed on the target: no agent, no plugin, no server access. Two domains are free forever; the same engine is bundled in the Lavawall platform with scheduled scans, multi-tenant dashboards, native email reports, trend history, and a white-label embed for MSP marketing sites. A single scan covers: email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC with enforcement mode and SPF qualifier explained in plain English; mail-provider detection; exposed email addresses harvested from public pages); encryption and transport (TLS version support, certificate validity/issuer/expiry, HTTPS redirect chain, HSTS); domain and DNS hygiene (registrar, creation/expiry, transfer lock, WHOIS privacy, DNSSEC, CAA, security.txt); web security headers and configuration (CSP, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, COOP, cookie flags, HTTP/2, compression, response time, robots.txt) and WAF detection; open ports with service/version identification and exposed-admin-panel detection (phpMyAdmin, Adminer, Mongo Express); CMS/software fingerprinting (WordPress core/plugins/themes with versions, frameworks, JavaScript libraries) with NVD-backed known-CVE matching and abandoned/stale-plugin detection; WordPress-only exposure checks (REST user enumeration, and sensitive-file/backup/config discovery such as .env, /.git/, wp-config.php backups, debug logs, and directory listing); phishing/malware blacklist reputation via commercial-safe feeds (PhishDestroy, with URLhaus and others); and content-change/defacement monitoring (normalized page-body hashing, plus detection of newly-injected external scripts and new outbound link domains) with notifications. Scout is deliberately quiet: WordPress-specific probes run only when the site is actually WordPress, user enumeration uses a single REST request rather than noisy author-ID brute forcing, and file-discovery stops the moment a WAF block is detected: so scanning a client site does not light up their firewall. Positioning: WordPress-only scanners (WPSec, WPScan) go deeper on dedicated WordPress plugin vulnerability databases; malware scanners (Sucuri SiteCheck) go deeper on payload-signature detection, broad blacklist coverage, and cleanup services. Scout's differentiator is covering the whole external attack surface (email, TLS, DNS, ports, headers, CVEs, reputation, and defacement) in one scan, multi-tenant for MSPs, with white-label embedding. --- ## Buyer's guides These are evenhanded "best X for MSPs" round-ups.

Useful when an LLM needs a clean, attributable definition of a cybersecurity term. ### Categories and concepts - **What is GRC for MSPs?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-grc-for-msps/: Governance, Risk, and Compliance from an MSP-channel perspective. - **What is RMM augmentation?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-rmm-augmentation/: Adding security/GRC/visibility on top of an existing RMM rather than replacing it. - **What is application control?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-application-control/: Allow-listing executable processes; differences vs antivirus and EDR. - **What is shadow AI?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-shadow-ai/: Employee use of AI tools outside IT-sanctioned workflows. - **What is cross-platform patch management?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-cross-platform-patch-management/ - **What is per-named-agent helpdesk pricing?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-per-named-agent-helpdesk/ - **What is Tier 3 cybersecurity augmentation?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-tier-3-augmentation/ ### Configuration backup concepts - **What is M365 configuration backup?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-m365-configuration-backup/: Configuration backup is the discipline of snapshotting tenant settings (CA policies, role assignments, app registrations, OAuth grants, Intune profiles, transport rules, NSG rules) so changes can be detected, logged with actor context, and reverted. Distinct from mailbox / file content backup, which captures user data. - **What is Entra ID backup?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-entra-id-backup/: Entra ID backup is a subset of M365 configuration backup focused on identity objects: users, groups, roles, conditional access, app registrations, service principals, OAuth grants, administrative units. Paired with rollback, it lets you reverse privilege creep or accidental disables without restoring the entire tenant. - **What is configuration drift?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-configuration-drift/ (Configuration drift is the gradual divergence of a system's actual configuration from its intended baseline. In M365/Entra/Azure, drift is the headline cause of compromise) disabled CA policies, opened NSG rules, escalated role assignments. Configuration backup catches drift at detection time; rollback fixes it. ### Detection categories - **What is ITDR?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-itdr/: Identity Threat Detection and Response. The category Lavawall's M365/Entra breach detection falls into. - **What is XDR?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-xdr/ - **What is MDR?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-mdr/ - **What is EDR?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-edr/ - **What is external attack surface management (EASM)?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-attack-surface-management/: Continuous outside-in discovery and assessment of internet-facing assets (domains, certificates, DNS, email authentication, ports, exposed services); Scout performs the assessment. - **What is Akira ransomware?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-akira-ransomware/: Active ransomware group affecting Canadian SMBs since 2024; Lavawall ships an active hunter. ### Compliance frameworks - **What is CMMC 2.0?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-cmmc-2-0/: US DoD Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0, Levels 1, 2, and 3. - **What is CPCSC?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-cpcsc/: Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (Canada's defence-supplier framework, broadly aligned to CMMC). - **What is HIPAA?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-hipaa/: US healthcare privacy and security framework. - **What is SOC 2?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-soc-2/: AICPA System and Organization Controls audit (Type I and Type II). - **What is PCI DSS?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-pci-dss/: Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard v4. - **What is NIST CSF 2.0?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-nist-csf/ - **What is CIS Controls v8?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-cis-controls/ - **What is the Australian Essential Eight?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-australian-essential-eight/ - **What is ISO 27001?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-iso-27001/ - **What is PIPEDA?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-pipeda/: Canada federal privacy law. - **What is Alberta PIPA?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-alberta-pipa/: Alberta Personal Information Protection Act. - **What is BC PIPA?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-bc-pipa/: British Columbia Personal Information Protection Act. - **What is Alberta HIA?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-alberta-hia/: Alberta Health Information Act. - **What is BC HIA?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-bc-hia/: Disambiguation page (BC has no single statute by that name; see the BC E-Health Act). - **What is the BC E-Health Act?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-bc-e-health-act/: Personal Health Information Access and Protection of Privacy Act, SBC 2008 c.38. - **What is Bill C-8?**, https://lavawall.com/what-is-bill-c-8/: Canadian Critical Cyber Systems Protection Act. --- ## Comparisons: Lavawall vs explicitly named alternatives Each comparison is evenhanded: every page includes a "where the competitor wins" section.

Lavawall shows users a plain-English analysis of the email they are looking at (domain age, SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication status, PDF and Office attachment risk, link destinations, typosquat detection, and sending server intelligence) before they decide whether to report or mark safe. The add-in detects phishing simulation emails from 20+ platforms (KnowBe4, Microsoft Defender Attack Simulator, Proofpoint, Cofense, IRONSCALES, Hoxhunt, Huntress, GoPhish, and others) and gives users positive feedback instead of creating a security alert. ### Key capabilities - Real-time plain-language risk summary with expandable technical detail - Sender domain age and registration date - SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication status (with live DNS fallback when Exchange strips headers) - PDF contextual analysis: distinguishes harmless print dialogs from dangerous JavaScript - Office macro and embedded script analysis - ZIP and archive file listing - URL shortener expansion (server-side, user's browser never visits the destination) - Recipient identifier in URL detection (credential pre-fill phishing technique) - Typosquat detection (edit distance comparison against top 1000 brands) - Sending server IP, ISP, country, ASN, TOR/VPN/proxy/datacenter flags - Multi-tenant MSP admin dashboard with reports, domain reputation, and settings - Integrated help desk ticket creation on report - 20+ phishing simulation platform detection with positive reinforcement ### Phishing simulation system Lavawall includes a native phishing simulation system: - Template library of common phishing scenarios (IT helpdesk, invoice fraud, credential harvest, delivery notifications, CEO fraud) - Import real phishing emails as sanitized templates (strips tracking pixels, JavaScript, malicious links) - Targeted campaigns by user group or CSV upload - Click, open, credential submission, and report tracking - Educational landing pages that show users what they missed in the simulated email - Per-campaign metrics: click rate, report rate, credential submission rate ### Pricing and availability The Phishing Reporter is part of Lavawall Security Awareness Training. It is included at no extra charge in the Complete tier, and available as a per-user add-on at C$1.95 / US$1.50 per user per month (billed month-to-month, no multi-year term) on the Grow and Professional tiers. KnowBe4's lowest per-seat training rates require a multi-year commitment. ### Shared mailbox support Deploy the add-in to shared mailboxes directly in M365 Admin Center → Integrated Apps by assigning it to the shared mailbox email address. Alternatively, add the shared mailbox as a full account in Outlook desktop. ### Deployment The add-in deploys via Microsoft 365 Centralized Deployment or the Integrated Apps portal. Paste the manifest URL, assign to all users, and the button appears in Outlook within 24 hours. No MSIs, no Group Policy, no user action. --- ## Lavawall® DMARC Monitoring & Report Analyzer **Source: https://lavawall.com/dmarc/** Lavawall® DMARC Monitoring is a managed DMARC aggregate-report (rua) receiver and analyzer. Publishing a DMARC record is easy; the hard parts are that aggregate reports arrive as compressed XML from dozens of mailbox providers (unreadable by hand) and that you cannot safely move to p=reject until you know every legitimate system that sends mail on your behalf. Getting it wrong bounces your own invoices and newsletters, which is why so many domains sit at p=none forever collecting reports nobody reads. Lavawall is built to get a domain off p=none safely. Each company is assigned a unique receiving address (for example yourcompany@dmarc.lavawall.com) to set as the rua destination; Lavawall receives, decompresses, parses, and stores the XML automatically: no shared inbox to monitor, no scripts, no XML to open. Lavawall reads the reports back to you in plain English. The dashboard rolls up total volume, DMARC pass rate, recent failures, and the number of your domains seen in the wild, with report records filterable by domain, by result (failures only / passes only), and by time window (7, 30, or 90 days). Failing rows are highlighted. ### Key capabilities - Managed DMARC aggregate (rua) report receiver: unique @dmarc.lavawall.com address per company; automatic XML decompression, parsing, and storage. - Plain-English pass/fail dashboard (emails, DMARC pass %, failures, domains seen) with 7/30/90-day filters and per-domain / pass / fail filtering. - Per-source-IP identification: reverse DNS (rDNS) name, provider/ESP categorisation (so legitimate mail platforms, CRM, marketing, and transactional senders are obvious), volume, pass rate, domains touched, and first/last seen. - Per-source analyst decision workflow: mark each sending IP authorized, phishing, suspicious, or ignore, with an optional note, recorded with who set it and when (attributed, timestamped audit trail). Decisions feed the wider Lavawall reputation system shared with the Outlook Phishing Reporter and Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace breach detection. - Guided per-domain enforcement: step each domain none → quarantine → reject with plain-language descriptions, percentage stepping built in (suggests pct=10 on first move to quarantine, pct=25 on first move to reject) so only a slice of failing mail is enforced while you watch the reports, and subdomain policy (sp=) support. - Non-destructive DNS record generation: reads the current live DMARC record, shows today's policy, and generates the exact _dmarc TXT record per domain, merging Lavawall's reporting address into existing rua/ruf and other tags rather than overwriting them. Advanced controls: DKIM/SPF alignment (adkim/aspf, relaxed by default), failure-reporting options (fo), separate forensic address (ruf), reporting interval (ri). - Automatic domain discovery: auto-populates the domain list from connected Microsoft 365 verified custom domains, Google Workspace primary domain, Scout-linked domains, and domains recorded against the company: each source gathered independently so a gap in one never hides domains found elsewhere. Live SPF/DMARC lookups for newly typed domains. - Unauthorised-sender alerting: alert email plus a threshold (any failure, 5+, 10+, or 50+) notifies you when unauthorised senders appear in a domain's reports. - Multi-tenant for MSPs: per-company receiving address, report data, and policies; one console across every client with role-based access and strict per-tenant data isolation. ### Availability DMARC Monitoring is part of the Lavawall email- and domain-security tooling and is managed from the same multi-tenant console as the rest of the platform; see https://lavawall.com/pricing/ for tier details or https://lavawall.com/contact/ to arrange a rollout. The free Scout domain scanner (https://lavawall.com/scan) gives a quick SPF/DMARC posture check without an account. ## Page index (generated from the site build) Every indexable page on lavawall.com, with its description.
