MentionBeat is a measurement service that reads the public web, so a first run needs a domain and nothing else — no tag on your site, no CMS credentials, no DNS record.

The product fetches other people's pages, which is exactly the capability an attacker would like to borrow. Every outbound fetch — the free checker, the crawler check, the site audit — goes through a guard that resolves the target first and refuses private, loopback and link-local addresses, redirects included. Public tools are rate-limited per IP with a daily ceiling, and the free tools run under a dedicated tenant so anonymous checks never land in a customer's history.
We are not certified against SOC 2 or ISO 27001 today, and we would rather say so plainly than imply a badge we do not have. If a certification is a procurement requirement for you, tell us and you will get a straight answer about the timeline instead of a maybe.
Email hello@mentionbeat.com with enough detail to reproduce the issue. We acknowledge within two business days, keep you posted while we fix it, and will not threaten anyone who reports something in good faith.
