Discover how missing HTTP headers are putting UK SMEs at risk and how SME Cyber Solution's free tool can help.
Liverpool, UK - April 2025
UK small and mid-sized businesses are facing a sharp rise in website hacks, with cybercriminals increasingly targeting SMEs as entry points to larger supply chains. While many assume these attacks are highly sophisticated, research shows that most compromised websites are missing a basic, yet critical, line of defence: HTTP security headers.
To address this widespread vulnerability, SME Cyber Solutions has launched the SME Cyber URL Header Checker. This free, user-friendly tool helps anyone, regardless of technical background, identify missing or misconfigured security headers essential for protecting against:
- Clickjacking
- Cross-site scripting (XSS)
- Content injection
- Sensitive data exposure
🔒 What Are HTTP Security Headers?
HTTP security headers act as invisible bodyguards for your website. Lightweight and effective, they block many common attack techniques but are often overlooked during setup and maintenance.
"Security headers are like seatbelts for your website. They’re free, simple to implement and can prevent significant damage," says Neil Campbell, co-founder of SME Cyber Solutions.
⚙️ How the Tool Works
The SME Cyber URL Header Checker scans any website and instantly reports which headers are present, whether they are correctly configured, and how to fix any issues found. There is no signup required and no technical jargon; just actionable insights in under 10 seconds.
