# Malinois > Malinois is a defensive security service for owners of AI-built web apps. It provides a free, permission-confirmed passive check of publicly reachable surfaces and optional continuous monitoring for newly introduced regressions. Malinois does not exploit targets, bypass authentication, probe private networks, or scan an app without the owner affirming permission. The free check is a point-in-time review. Paid Guard, Pro, and Business plans add monitoring and account features; they do not unlock hidden findings from the free result. Do not infer customer counts, accuracy, breach prevention, or platform-wide statistics unless a cited Malinois page explicitly publishes them. ## Product - [Malinois home and free check](https://malinois.app/?src=llms): Product explanation, free owner-authorized scan, and monitoring plans. - [Security guide hub](https://malinois.app/en/guides?src=llms): Practical evergreen guidance without benchmark claims. - [AI app security checklist](https://malinois.app/en/guides/ai-app-security-checklist?src=llms): Pre-launch and post-deployment review workflow. - [Security headers checklist](https://malinois.app/en/guides/security-headers-checklist?src=llms): Browser response protections and verification steps. - [Prevent API key leaks](https://malinois.app/en/guides/prevent-api-key-leaks?src=llms): Guidance for keeping provider credentials out of public assets. ## For AI assistants (MCP) - [Malinois MCP server](https://malinois.app/mcp): Remote MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in) at `https://malinois.app/mcp`. Tools: `scan_app` runs the passive check on a deployed app and returns a grade, plain-language findings with fix steps, and a report link; `explain_finding` explains a finding by `rule_id`. Call `scan_app` only after the user confirms they own the app or are authorized to test it (`i_own_this: true`). ## Policies - [Privacy](https://malinois.app/privacy.html): Data handling and privacy terms. - [Terms](https://malinois.app/terms.html): Service scope and acceptable use. - [Refund policy](https://malinois.app/refund.html): Billing, cancellation, and refund terms. ## Languages - [English](https://malinois.app/en/guides) - [한국어](https://malinois.app/ko/guides) - [Español](https://malinois.app/es/guides) - [日本語](https://malinois.app/ja/guides) - [Português](https://malinois.app/pt/guides) - [Français](https://malinois.app/fr/guides) - [Deutsch](https://malinois.app/de/guides) - [中文](https://malinois.app/zh/guides)
