What is Sucuri SiteCheck?
Sucuri is a leading website security company providing malware scanning, web application firewalls, and incident response. Their SiteCheck scanner is one of the most widely used tools for detecting website compromises, malware injections, and security blacklistings. SiteCheck also detects and surfaces listings from multiple other security blacklists. Sucuri's WAF (web application firewall) protects millions of websites, and their blacklist data is consumed by hosting providers and security tools.

What a listing means for your business
Sucuri SiteCheck is one of the first tools security-conscious website owners, developers, and hosting providers run when checking a site. A listing here signals active compromise or malicious content to anyone who checks your domain, including potential customers, partners, and your own hosting provider who may initiate a review.
