You can test your own Jimdo website for security issues, for example with a security scan or penetration test, without requesting approval beforehand. This article explains what you need to keep in mind.
Can I scan or pen test my website for security issues?
Yes. You can run a security scan or penetration test against your own Jimdo website at any time. You don't need to register, request approval, or ask us to whitelist anything beforehand.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Your test must stay scoped to your own website, not Jimdo's broader infrastructure or other customers' sites.
- We don't pause or weaken our defenses for your test. If your test traffic looks malicious, expect it to be challenged, rate limited, or blocked. This is by design and not a sign that something is wrong.
- (Distributed) Denial of Service testing and load testing are not permitted, even as part of an otherwise legitimate test.
