The new 2026 PC Armour Auditor Tool is designed for rapid system security scans to ensure continued compliance for Cyber Security Certification, Windows Update validation, and overall PC security health.
This tool does not install, is completely portable, and runs on-demand without making any modifications to your PC.
IT Pro Expert and PC Armour created this free tool to encourage better industry security practices. Use it to audit your IT provider’s work or check if your aging hardware is leaving you vulnerable. Can your PC achieve a 100% pass mark?
Is Your Windows PC Actually Secure?
Introducing the PC Armour Security Auditor
In the modern cybersecurity landscape, having an antivirus program installed is no longer enough. True system security is a layered architecture comprising hardware hardening, network hygiene, patch management, and encryption. But how do you know if all these layers are working together correctly?

Enter the PC Armour Standalone Security Auditor—a lightweight, portable forensic tool designed to provide an instant, deep-dive analysis of a Windows system’s security posture.
Unlike bloatware that runs in the background slowing you down, PC Armour is a standalone auditor. You run it once, it performs a rigorous battery of tests, and generates a secure, encrypted report with a weighted Security Health Index.
Here is why this tool is essential for IT professionals, MSPs, and security-conscious individuals, and exactly what it checks.
The “Active Probe” Difference
Most security checkers simply look at Windows settings. PC Armour goes further by actively testing the environment.
1. The DNS Malware & Phishing Probe
Your firewall might say it’s “On,” but is it actually stopping traffic to malicious servers? PC Armour performs a live DNS Probe, attempting to resolve 100 recent known malware and phishing domains against your current network configuration.
- The Test: It fires off DNS requests for known bad domains. (This may trigger an Anti-Virus warning but its only a DNS probe nothing of concern)
- The Result: It calculates a block rate percentage. If your network allows these domains to resolve, your DNS filtering is failing, and you are at risk.
- The Report: You get a split breakdown of Phishing vs. Malware blocking performance.
2. Hardware Hardening & Silicon Security
Modern attacks like Rootkits and DMA (Direct Memory Access) attacks target the hardware level, bypassing the OS entirely. PC Armour audits the physical security features of your machine:
- TPM 2.0 Verification: Ensures the Trusted Platform Module is present and active for cryptographic operations.
- Secure Boot: Verifies that the boot path is cryptographically signed to prevent bootkits.
- Virtualization / IOMMU: Checks if Input-Output Memory Management Unit protection is enabled. This is critical for features like Windows Core Isolation to prevent rogue devices/apps from reading kernel memory.
- BIOS Age: A unique check that flags if your BIOS firmware is over 4 years old, indicating missing microcode security patches.
- CPU Compliance: Verifies the processor meets modern security standards (Intel 8th Gen+ or AMD Zen+).
3. Endpoint Protection & Encryption
We don’t just check if an antivirus is “installed.” We check if it is active, updated, and from a trusted vendor.
- Vendor Validation: The tool specifically looks for industry leaders like ESET, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, and ThreatDown.
- BitLocker Status: Checks if the primary drive is fully encrypted. If a laptop is stolen without BitLocker, the password is useless—the data is gone.
- Firewall Status: Verifies the Windows Firewall state.
4. Patch Management & OS Health
An unpatched system is a compromised system. PC Armour enforces strict standards:
- Windows Version Target: Checks if the machine is running the latest target version (e.g., 25H2).
- Update Freshness: It queries the Windows Update history to ensure security patches were applied within the last 30 days.
- Disk Health: Checks for low disk space (<30GB), which is a common silent cause of Windows Updates failing to install.
5. Digital Hygiene
Security often fails due to “bloat.”
- Browser Extensions: Malicious browser extensions are a massive vector for data theft. PC Armour scans Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi profiles to list every installed extension, flagging systems with excessive add-ons.
- RAM Check: Flags systems with less than 8GB of RAM, which can hinder the performance of modern security agents.
The Security Health Index
Data is useless without context. When the audit is complete, the application encrypts the data using AES-256 and uploads it to a secure dashboard.
You are presented with a Security Health Index (0-100%). This isn’t an arbitrary number; it is a weighted calculation:
- 25% – Network DNS Protection (Real-world blocking capability)
- 15% – Encryption & Data Safety
- 10% – Antivirus Status
- 10% – OS Patching & Versioning
- 5% Each – Secure Boot, TPM, IOMMU, Firewall, BIOS Age, etc.
The report also generates a Critical Warnings section, instantly highlighting “Hard Fails”—such as a disabled Firewall, missing BitLocker, or a DNS block rate below 5%.
Conclusion
Security is not a “set it and forget it” configuration; it is a state of being. The PC Armour Standalone Security Auditor gives you the visibility you need to ensure that your hardware, network, and software are actually protecting you, rather than just giving you a false sense of security.
