Control scripts, enforce policies, and filter unsafe HTML before it reaches the browser — no backend changes required.

The Problem

Your Frontend Is
a Security Blind Spot

Backend security protects your server. But what actually reaches the browser — the final HTML, scripts, and markup delivered to users — is often uncontrolled. Third-party scripts, injected elements, and policy violations happen at the delivery layer, where most security tools have no visibility.

01
Third-party scripts inject risks

Analytics, ad networks, and tag managers load scripts you didn't write. Any one of them can be compromised — and your users are exposed.

02
No control over final HTML output

What leaves your origin isn't necessarily what reaches the browser. Injections, modifications, and appended markup happen invisibly.

03
CSP is limited and brittle

Content Security Policy is static, hard to maintain, and breaks functionality. It lacks the flexibility to respond dynamically to new threat patterns.

04
Client-side attacks bypass backend

XSS, script injection, and markup manipulation happen at the delivery layer — after backend security has already checked out.

05
No visibility into browser-bound output

Security teams monitor servers and APIs. But there's no systematic inspection of the HTML response actually delivered to each user.

06
Slow response to new threats

Blocking a compromised script or removing a risky element requires a deployment. By then, users have already been exposed.

The Solution

Enforce Security
at Delivery Time

NinjaWeb5 operates between your origin and the browser — inspecting every HTML response, applying security rules, blocking unsafe content, and enforcing policies before a single byte reaches users.

  • Block unsafe scripts — allow/deny by source, pattern, or type
  • Enforce output policies — dynamic, flexible, beyond CSP
  • Filter risky markup — remove, sanitize, or replace elements
  • Inspect and modify response — full visibility into final output
  • React instantly — activate rules in seconds, no deployment

Core differentiation

"Backend security protects your server. Ninja protects what users actually see."

Traditional approach

Backend Security

Protects your servers, APIs, and databases from external attacks. Essential — but stops at the origin. What gets assembled and sent to the browser is a different problem entirely.

NinjaWeb5 approach

Edge Frontend Security

Controls the actual HTML response delivered to users. Sits between origin and browser — inspecting, filtering, and enforcing policies on what users really see. Complements backend security with a delivery layer.

Core Capabilities

Output Governance
for Frontend Security

Script Control

Define exactly which scripts are allowed to reach the browser. Block, remove, or replace script tags based on source domain, pattern, or inline content — before the page is rendered.

Use cases
  • Block suspicious third-party trackers instantly
  • Disable scripts from a compromised CDN
  • Restrict unauthorized analytics or ad libraries
  • Replace a script version without touching origin code

Policy Enforcement

Apply security policies directly to HTML output — more flexible and maintainable than static CSP headers. Define allowed domains, permitted script types, iframe rules, and inline script handling as dynamic edge rules.

Policy examples
  • Allowed script source domains — allowlist enforcement
  • Permitted script types — module vs. classic
  • Inline script blocking — remove or flag all inline JS
  • Iframe control — restrict embed sources by domain

Risky Markup Detection

Scan HTML responses for patterns associated with known attack vectors. Detect inline scripts, suspicious attributes, unexpected DOM elements, and markup anomalies — and alert or block before delivery.

What gets detected
  • Inline event handlers — onclick, onerror, onload vectors
  • Unknown or unexpected script tags
  • Suspicious data-* attributes or href patterns
  • Unexpected DOM changes vs. baseline output

Edge Response Filtering

Filter and sanitize HTML responses before they leave the delivery layer. Remove harmful elements, clean user-generated content, strip unauthorized markup, and protect against injection — all without origin changes.

Filtering actions
  • Remove malicious script — instant, no deployment
  • Strip unauthorized iframe embeds
  • Sanitize user-generated HTML content blocks
  • Protect against DOM injection vectors
How It Works

How Security Control Works

01
Connect your site

Route your domain through NinjaWeb5 via DNS or proxy. Origin stays unchanged.

02
Define security rules

Set policies — which scripts are allowed, which elements must be filtered, what patterns trigger a block.

03
Inspect HTML response

Ninja evaluates every response against your rules — scanning for scripts, policies, and risky markup.

04
Apply filters and policies

Matching elements are blocked, removed, replaced, or flagged. Output is sanitized before delivery.

05
Deliver safe output

Only approved, filtered HTML reaches the browser. Activate or adjust rules instantly — no deploy needed.

Real Security Use Cases

Control Frontend Output Security

01
Block malicious scripts in real time

A third-party CDN is compromised. Block the offending script domain with a single rule — no deploy, no downtime. Users are protected within seconds of activation.

02
Enforce compliance policies

Ensure GDPR consent banners render correctly, cookie scripts load in the right order, and no unauthorized tracking fires before user consent. Policy enforced at the edge, not hoped for in code.

03
Sanitize HTML output

User-generated content, CMS fields, and legacy template output often contain unsafe markup. Filter risky elements before they reach the browser — across thousands of pages.

04
Protect against third-party compromises

Analytics providers, tag managers, and ad networks are high-value attack targets. Set policy rules that control what they can and can't do in your delivery layer — without removing them entirely.

05
Control tracking and analytics scripts

Define exactly which analytics vendors are permitted, what script attributes are allowed, and which domains can load resources — with rules that update in seconds, not sprint cycles.

06
Remove injected elements

Detect and strip unexpected DOM elements — banners, overlays, or markup injected by browser extensions, compromised plugins, or supply chain issues — before they reach real users.
