CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Startup founders and small business owners running WordPress or similar CMS sites should pick SiteLock Basic for its daily malware scanning and automated backup, which handle the two things that actually tank small sites: compromised code and lost data. The 2GB daily backup paired with continuous monitoring covers both the ID.RA Risk Assessment and PR.DS Data Security functions without requiring your team to manage infrastructure. Skip this if you need vulnerability remediation or incident response; SiteLock Basic finds problems and backs up your site, but the 30-hour support window and lack of automated patching mean you're still fixing things yourself.
SMB and mid-market teams with web applications but no dedicated AppSec staff should start with SaltyCloud Dorkbot; it catches SQLi and XSS without requiring security expertise to operate or interpret results. The fully hosted service eliminates infrastructure overhead, and automatic false positive reduction means your team actually remediates instead of triaging noise. Skip this if you need DAST integrated with SAST or runtime protection; Dorkbot is deliberately scanning-only, which is both its strength and its boundary.
