Step 3 Automated security auditing service for self-hosted servers

Problem

More developers are self-hosting personal blogs and mini SaaS products on VPS, but they neglect periodic security tasks — applying patches, checking SSL certificate expiration, auditing open ports, and scanning dependency vulnerabilities — leaving them exposed to attacks. Manual checks consume 2-4 hours monthly, and security incidents can cause data loss and downtime costing millions of won (~thousands of USD) in opportunity costs.

Solution

With a single SSH key or one-line agent script, the tool connects to servers and auto-scans OS patch status, SSL certificate expiration dates, open ports, Docker image vulnerabilities, and dependency CVEs, then provides a risk-graded dashboard with one-click remediation guides (or auto-patch options).

Target: Developers aged 25-45 running side projects on VPS providers (AWS Lightsail, Vultr, Hetzner, etc.)
Revenue Model: Freemium model: 1 server Free, up to 3 servers at 4,900 KRW (~$3.70)/month, up to 10 servers at 12,900 KRW (~$9.70)/month, auto-patch add-on at 3,000 KRW (~$2.25)/server/month
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
