Could you build this?

Partial Checking DNS and HTTP security headers is trivial, but executing non-destructive penetration testing, secure credentialed code analysis on user infrastructure, and handling European compliance requires significant security engineering.

What it would actually take: The system requires an orchestration backend (e.g., Python/Go workers via Celery/Temporal) executing security scanners (Nuclei, OpenVAS, Semgrep, testssl.sh) inside isolated, sandboxed containers. The challenging aspects are safely managing authorization to prevent unauthorized attacks, orchestrating self-hosted agents or local code scanners securely, and calibrating vulnerability detection heuristics to avoid false positives and service disruption.
