They have made a warranty statement - not a guarantee.
They may seem similar - but the legal differentiation is great.

Hi all,
what do you think about the remote services that promise your site to
be "hacker free"?
Can you really monitor remotely the security of a site using a scanner?
Here is an example:
http://www.scanalert.com/
It isn't that the site is necessarily "hacker free." They have simply
guaranteed that the site is not vulnerable to the FBI/SANS top
vulnerabilities (www.sans.org/top20/). They also meet various credit
card requirements (VISA CISP/PCI). Click on the "Hacker Safe" logo to
see an explanation.
