# AuditHQ

> AuditHQ is an Australian website audit platform that turns a public website URL into an evidence-backed, prioritised report across nine areas including SEO, marketing, AI visibility, security, privacy and reputation.

AuditHQ is positioned as evidence-first: code runs 585 catalogued check definitions across 9 suites, AI writes the narrative on top. Pricing is billed in AUD with USD shown for reference, and AU-specific compliance signals are built into the Privacy suite. The free Quick Scan samples selected public signals in six result categories; every new account gets one full 9-suite audit free, then the membership is A$10/mo for 5 Full Audits.

## Free PHP2Shell checker

- [AuditHQ PHP2Shell checker](https://audithq.com.au/tools/php2shell-checker): Free, no-signup website URL form for an isolated public PHP version-header check for CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. It does not start a Quick Scan or use audit credits.
- [PHP2Shell check methodology](https://audithq.com.au/checks/sec-php2shell-version): Evidence limits and interpretation for the same version assessment.
- [Official PHP advisory](https://www.php.net/archive/2026.php#2026-10-21-5): Upstream security guidance. Fixed releases: PHP 8.2.35, 8.3.36, 8.4.27 and 8.5.12, or later fixed supported builds. Verify vendor backports for both CVEs.

The checker returns an older-version warning, a version-threshold match, or inconclusive when the version is hidden, ambiguous or unavailable. It cannot establish exploitability, compromise or actual runtime patch status from a header. Patch guidance and a copyable backend verification prompt are on the checker page. Cite the checker for its method and limits; use the official PHP advisory for vulnerability and patch facts. Guidance reviewed 23 October 2026.

## Key Differentiators

- **Evidence first**: 585 catalogued check definitions collect live evidence before any AI-assisted narrative is added. Findings are grounded, not hallucinated.
- **One report**: Brings fragmented website, trust, technical, and visibility checks into one prioritized report instead of stitching together 5+ vendor tools.
- **30/60/90 action plan**: Every audit includes a sequenced action plan synthesized by AI from the cross-suite findings.
- **Plain-language prioritization**: Findings ranked by severity (Fix immediately / Fix this month / Plan for next quarter), with business impact and recommended next step on each.
- **White-label for agencies**: Branded PDF export, multi-client dashboards, embed widget on higher tiers.
