NVADER

NVADER is a cloud-based security scanner for AI apps and the systems around them, including code, agents, integrations, MCP servers, skills, and dependencies. Its five scanner types cover apps, repositories, MCP servers, skills, and hallucinations. Automated scans simulate threats such as prompt injection, jailbreaking, data extraction, and vulnerabilities affecting code, agents, or MCP servers. Reports sort findings by severity, call attention to critical issues, and include fix guidance. Findings can be mapped to OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, CWE, OWASP Top 10, and NIST AI RMF. Visitors can scan an app link free without an account; the Free plan covers one app and App Scan. Starter costs $49 a month for one app and all five scan types. Pro costs $149 a month for up to five apps. Specialist reviews, managed scanning, and assessments have separate listed prices. NVADER says source code is scanned in an isolated container and deleted, prompts are not retained after processing, and findings are kept for 12 months. SCAN is available now; WATCH and DEFEND are described as coming.

NVADER focuses on security scanning for AI systems and related code, with multiple scan types and framework-mapped findings. The free app scan offers a way to start; broader scanning and specialist services have separate plans and prices.

NVADER suits builders, agencies, operators, and consultants who build or deploy AI. Its specialist services do not cover network penetration testing, cloud infrastructure, endpoint security, SOC 2 or compliance work, or general application security.

NVADER is a cloud security scanner for people building or deploying AI applications, agents, and related tools. It is most useful to builders, agencies, operators, and consultants who want AI focused checks with prioritized repair guidance. Its narrow scope is its strength, but it does not cover general application or infrastructure security.

Overview

NVADER runs automated scans across AI apps, chatbots, assistants, codebases, agents, MCP servers, skills, and agent tools. Its five scanners target applications, repositories, MCP servers, skills, and hallucinations, with attack simulations covering prompt injection, jailbreaks, data extraction, vulnerable code and agents, MCP threats, and hallucinated dependencies. That breadth suits teams whose AI risks extend beyond a single app endpoint.

Findings are ranked by severity and include fix guidance, which helps teams focus remediation. Mapping to OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, CWE, OWASP Top 10, and NIST AI RMF makes results easier to organize against familiar frameworks. PDF export is useful for sharing reports, though custom tests are not supported and continuous monitoring is not offered.

SCAN is available now. WATCH and DEFEND are described as coming, and Command Center is a preview; buyers should base a decision on the current scanner rather than those future or preview offerings.

Key features

• App Scan: The free scan checks one app and can be started by entering an app link without an account. It is a low-friction way to assess an app, but the free tier does not include the other four scan types.
• Broader scan coverage: Repo, MCP, Skill, and Hallucination scans extend checks to code, integrations, agent skills, and dependency risks. This is more relevant to teams with connected AI systems than to buyers seeking a conventional vulnerability scanner.
• Ranked reports and mappings: Severity ordering and fix guidance help prioritize work, while framework mappings give teams a shared structure for findings. Teams that require bespoke attack scenarios will need a product that supports custom tests.
• Data handling: NVADER says source code is scanned in an isolated container and deleted, prompts are not retained after processing, and findings are kept for 12 months. It says it does not train models on customer code, prompts, or findings. Its privacy policy summarizes encryption in transit and at rest, per-account key scoping, read-only repository access, isolated scan execution, audit logging, and multifactor authentication.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing, billed Free forever. It covers one app, App Scan, findings, and fix guidance; the first scan requires no account. It is a practical starting point, but scanning beyond the app scan requires a paid plan.

Starter costs $49 a month, billed monthly. It covers one app, all five scan types, scheduled and on-demand scanning, full findings, fixes and history, and framework mappings. This is the clearest fit for a single-app team that needs more than a one-time app check. Pro costs $149 a month, billed monthly, for up to five apps and everything in Starter, plus priority scanning; additional apps cost $39/mo each. Pro fits teams responsible for several apps, while Starter keeps the bill lower for a single app.

Specialist services are priced separately. Guided Scan Review is $750, paid once and includes specialist review, prioritized findings, and a fix walkthrough delivered in 48 hours. Assessment is $2,500, paid once for manual testing, a findings report and remediation plan, a 60-minute debrief, and optional fix implementation. Managed costs $2,500 a month for ongoing scanning and specialist review, issue triage, incident support, and a monthly security report. The review suits buyers wanting help interpreting a scan; Assessment is for a defined manual review; Managed is for teams wanting recurring specialist involvement. These services remain within NVADER's AI security focus.

Platforms

NVADER is a cloud service delivered through the web. Its privacy policy names the GitHub App for read-only repository access and lists Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, Anthropic, Resend, and Vercel Analytics as service providers.

Who it's for

NVADER fits builders, agencies, operators, and consultants who deploy AI systems and want automated checks across apps and their supporting code, agents, skills, or MCP servers. It is less suitable for organizations seeking network penetration testing, cloud infrastructure security, endpoint protection, SOC 2 or compliance work, or general application security; its specialist services exclude those areas.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Five scan types cover multiple AI system components; severity-ranked findings include fix guidance; framework mappings and PDF reports support remediation and reporting; an app scan is free and does not require an account.
• Cons: The free plan is limited to one app and App Scan; custom tests and continuous monitoring are absent; broader security services are outside its scope; WATCH and DEFEND are not currently available.

Consider RedLens AI for hosted scans with a free allowance of 25 scans per month and five per day, though its free plan requires work email verification. Rogue is a self-hosted option with free personal and internal use. AgentSeal offers 30 basic probes and an MCP registry on its free plan, with API, web, and desktop platforms. Confident AI may suit evaluation needs: its free plan includes two seats, one project, and five test runs per week, while Starter is $200 a month. Darkhunt AI Security offers free credit, full platform access, and community support without a card. Giskard is a fit for teams wanting an open-source library, local deployment, and basic LLM vulnerability scanning.

Verdict

Choose NVADER if you build or operate AI systems and want one focused service for scanning apps, code, agents, MCP servers, and skills, with prioritized findings and repair guidance. The free app scan makes initial evaluation straightforward, and Starter adds all five scan types for one app at $49 a month. Look elsewhere if you need general security coverage, tailored tests, or continuous monitoring.
