Why Take a Chance?

You think your website or web based platform is secure? But why take a chance on it? One overlooked misconfiguration, forgotten plugin, or exposed endpoint can be all it takes for an attacker to take over your website and turn a normal day into a crisis.

Grawlr is an enterprise-grade security and penetration testing platform that exists so that you don't have to rely on gut feeling or "it's probably fine". Instead, you can continuously verify how your site(s) behave under the kinds of attacks that happen every day in the real world, before criminals find those same gaps and exploit them.

Old town of Tallinn, Estonia - part of the digital ecosystem that inspired Grawlr

Born in Estonia

Grawlr was founded in 2025 in Estonia - a country at the heart of Northern Europe's cybersecurity and digital-first government ecosystem. Estonia has spent more than two decades hardening its critical infrastructure, building secure digital identity, and defending against nation-state cyber attacks.

That experience has shaped how we think about security: we assume that attacks will happen, design systems that are constantly tested, and make strong security available for everyday organisations and businesses - not just governments and big tech companies.

Cybersecurity Competence

Estonia is home to the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, world-class incident response teams, and a dense network of cyber-security startups.
Grawlr builds on this environment by combining:

• Hands-on experience from defending real production systems accessed by millions of users
• Behavior-driven analysis and penetration testing inspired by modern offensive security practices
• A focus on automation so that small teams can benefit from the same thinking and tools as large enterprises and national-level defenders do

Our goal is simple: bring cybersecurity mindset and tools to every website owner, agency, and platform team.

The Story Behind the Slogan

The question “Why take a chance?” started as a note on a whiteboard while we were analysing yet another preventable breach. The pattern was always the same: development teams assumed their setup was “secure enough”, but had never validated their real-world attack surface.

That question became our slogan and our product roadmap. Grawlr exists so that you - as a business owner, team lead, or developer - don't have to trust your luck or your memory of what was deployed last year. You can constantly verify how your website behaves under live attack patterns instead.

From Question to Product

Every feature in Grawlr answers the same question: “If this part fails, what happens - and why are we taking that chance?”. From website verification to endpoint packages and reporting, the dashboard is designed to be understandable to non-experts while still useful for security teams and developers.

Whether you manage one critical webshop, hundreds of client websites, or a complex enterprise platform, Grawlr gives you a way to continuously test, learn, and improve, without waiting for attackers to teach you the hard way.
