EdgeIQ Labs is a cybersecurity monitoring and scanning platform that helps small businesses, MSPs, and consultants improve their security posture with free domain scanners, subscription-based monitoring, dark web exposure monitoring, and white-label reporting — all without enterprise pricing.
What is EdgeIQ Labs?
EdgeIQ Labs is a web-based cybersecurity platform that accepts a domain or IP address as input and returns security grades, detailed scan reports, and continuous monitoring alerts across SSL/TLS, DMARC, SPF, DKIM, DNS, MX records, blacklists, subdomains, and web application vulnerabilities. It runs entirely in the browser at edgeiqlabs.com, with free tools that need no account or credit card and paid plans that add scheduled scans, email alerts, and human support. Beyond security, the company also operates EdgeIQ Play (game servers), EdgeIQ Bots (Discord bot hosting), EdgeIQ VPS (Linux virtual servers), and EdgeIQ Web (shared/WordPress hosting), making it a one-stop infrastructure provider.

- PhishSim — GoPhish-powered phishing simulation at $49/mo with unlimited campaigns, click tracking, and automatic training assignment to employees who fall for simulated phishing.
- SMB Essentials and SMB Plus — Managed bundles at $29/mo and $49/mo covering SSL expiry, uptime, email header phishing analysis, and monthly action-focused reports, with a 14-day free trial.
- Advanced scanners — DAST web app tests, API security checks, CSPM cloud posture scans, port scanning, container scanning, threat scanning, and automated policy generation are all available from the dashboard.
- White-label reporting — Monthly reports can be generated with your own branding for MSPs and consultants, as listed in EdgeIQ Labs' product catalog.

Who is it for?
- Small business owners — Use the SMB Essentials bundle to monitor SSL certificates, domain expiry, uptime, and email phishing, receiving a monthly report with prioritized fixes and an action plan.
- MSPs and IT agencies — Deploy EdgeIQ Pulse or SMB Plus across multiple client domains to centralize security monitoring, generate per-client reports, and respond to alerts from one dashboard.
- Security professionals — Take advantage of free and paid scanners (DAST, API, subdomain, CVE, blacklist) for vendor assessments, penetration test reconnaissance, or continuous monitoring of client infrastructure.
- Server and bot owners — Use EdgeIQ's separate hosting services (game servers from $5/mo, Discord bots from $3/mo, VPS from $4/mo) alongside security monitoring if they manage their own infrastructure.
What can you do with EdgeIQ Labs?
- Email security audits: Run a free DMARC/SPF/DKIM check on any domain and receive an A–F grade with spoofing risk analysis; then subscribe to Inbox Shield to catch changes daily.
- SSL certificate monitoring: Use the SSL Checker to verify TLS 1.3 support and certificate validity, or upgrade to SSL Watcher Pro for continuous monitoring and email alerts when certificates expire or headers change.
- External attack surface mapping: Use Subdomain Hunter Pro or ASM Dashboard Pro to discover subdomains via Certificate Transparency logs, track unmanaged shadow IT, and receive real-time alerts when new services go live.
- Phishing simulations and training: Launch PhishSim campaigns that auto-assign security awareness modules to employees who click, reducing real-world phishing risk.
How does EdgeIQ Labs work?
Enter any domain into the free scanners on the homepage; results appear in about 5 seconds with no signup or credit card. For deeper coverage, subscribe to Pulse or Inbox Shield to schedule scans on your domains (weekly on free, daily on paid) and receive email alerts when findings change. For SMB bundles, the workflow is: complete Stripe checkout, an engineer contacts you within 24 hours, your monitoring profile is configured, and your first monthly report cycle starts.

FAQ
Is my data safe with EdgeIQ Labs?
Yes. Scans are read-only and do not store credentials. Scan results are yours and are not sold, shared, or publicized. The site uses Cloudflare and Stripe-secured payments, and you can request deletion of your scan data at any time.
Do I need technical knowledge to use EdgeIQ Labs?
No. The tools are designed to surface clear, prioritized findings rather than raw log files. The SMB dashboard in particular is built for business owners who are technically literate but don't have a dedicated security team.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled before the next billing cycle with no penalties. Lifetime purchases are one-time with no renewal. If you cancel a monthly plan, your scan data is retained for 30 days and then deleted.
Are these tools safe to run against my own infrastructure?
Yes, but only if you scan infrastructure you own or have explicit written permission to test. Unauthorized scanning is illegal and violates EdgeIQ Labs' terms. The tools are designed for internal security assessment and third-party vendor monitoring of your own assets.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, SMB Essentials and SMB Plus include a 14-day free trial with no charge until day 15. In addition, many of the homepage scanners are free to use without an account or credit card, giving you a preview of paid scan capabilities.
