## What Is ScanShield?

ScanShield is a free tool that helps founders and developers evaluate incoming security vulnerability reports. Whether you received an alarming email about missing DMARC records, a DM demanding a bug bounty, or a legal threat about ADA compliance, ScanShield analyzes the claims and tells you what is real, what is FUD, and what is an outright scam.

Everything runs in your browser. No data is sent to any server. No sign-up required.

## How It Works

1. **Select what happened** — Choose from five scenarios: vulnerability email, bounty DM, unsolicited audit, legal threat, or proactive site check.
2. **Paste the message and select claims** — Paste the original message and check off what was claimed (missing DMARC, XSS, SQL injection, security headers, etc.).
3. **Get the verdict** — See a scam score, red/green flags analysis, and a detailed breakdown for each claim with CLI commands you can run yourself.
4. **Export and respond** — Copy a response email template, an AI agent prompt for deeper analysis, or download the full report.

## Who Is This For?

- **Indie founders** who get "vulnerability" emails and don't know if they should worry
- **Solo developers** maintaining side projects who receive unsolicited security audits
- **Startup CTOs** who need to quickly triage incoming security reports
- **Anyone** who received a scary email about their website and wants a second opinion
