Use guides to turn scan results into habits
A scan tells you what was found today. A guide helps your team avoid the same issue next month.
The Fixnx guide collection is designed to pair with scan reports so teams can move from finding to fix to prevention.
Start with the website checklist if you are preparing a launch, or the remediation guide if you already have findings.
Example Fixnx finding
Issue: Sensitive route needs access-control review
Risk: High
Evidence: Fixnx found ID-like parameters and account-style route patterns in the public application surface.
Recommended fix: Verify authorization on the server for every object access and test with separate user contexts.
Object identifiers and account routes can expose data if ownership checks are missing or inconsistent.
What to fix first
- Critical exposed files, admin panels, secrets, or takeover paths.
- Broken HTTPS, missing redirects, weak SSL/TLS behavior, or unsafe cookie handling.
- Confirmed injection, XSS, access-control, authentication, or sensitive API evidence.
- High-impact security headers and browser protections that reduce attack impact.
- Medium and low hardening recommendations after the risky public evidence is fixed.

FAQ
Where should I start?
Start with the Website Security Checklist for public sites or the API Security Checklist for backend-heavy applications.
Are the guides technical?
They are practical and readable, with enough technical detail to help developers take action.
What can I do after reading Security Guides?
Run a Fixnx scan, review the evidence, fix the highest-risk public issues first, and rescan after deployment so the report reflects the current site.
Is Fixnx only for security teams?
No. Fixnx is written for developers, agencies, founders, and security teams that need practical website risk evidence without a long setup process.
