SpinMonitor – Free Extension Security Checker

SpinMonitor for Work detects and assesses the risk of all browser extensions, including those pushed directly to the browser, providing full visibility into the potential business, security, and compliance risks of each extension. With SpinMonitor, IT and SecOps teams have a proactive, automated solution for reducing browser extension risk.

SpinMonitor audits the following key factors:

- Permissions Review – Assessing the permissions that a browser extension requests, such as access to sensitive data or services, to determine if they are necessary or excessive.

- Privacy and Data Security – Evaluating how an extension handles user data, whether it collects or shares it with third parties, and whether it aligns with privacy policies or regulations like GDPR or CCPA.

- Malicious Behavior Detection – Identifying any potentially harmful or suspicious activities of the extension, such as injecting malicious scripts, stealing credentials, or engaging in phishing.

- Compliance Check – Ensuring that browser extensions comply with organizational security policies, industry regulations, or legal standards related to data protection and cybersecurity.
