How frequently does UpGuard scan websites?

Learn about UpGuard's scanning frequency and how quickly we add updated data to the UpGuard platform.

Written by Abi Tyas Tunggal

UpGuard will scan any website belonging to you or a monitored vendor at least once per day. 

In addition, you can request a scan by viewing the scan results for a given website and then press the scan button. 

When the UpGuard platform scans a website it collects data from a variety of sources. Most of this data collection occurs right away, and any changes are reflected as soon as the website is re-scanned (within a day).

However, certain data (specifically some vulnerability data, and some attributes related to TLS version) are collected less frequently, and may take a few days to flow through. 

That said, when you request explicitly request a scan (by pressing the RESCAN button), it will schedule a port scan and the results will be visible within a day. 

How to rescan a website

If you're looking to rescan a domain to ensure you have the most recent scan data then check out How to rescan a domain in UpGuard Breachsight. If you're wanting to rescan a Vendor's domains the process is the same, but you'll want to go to your vendor's domains list instead of the domains list under BreachSight.
