Security Scans
Continuous WordPress security scans that catch problems early
We scan for malware signals, suspicious file changes, and common vulnerabilities so you're not finding out after the damage is done.
Security scans are not “antivirus”
Antivirus protects a computer (an endpoint). WordPress security scans focus on your website environment: your files, plugins, themes, login behavior, and known WordPress attack paths.
- Malware detection: identifies known malware signatures, injected code, and backdoors.
- File intergrity monitoring: detects unexpected or suspicious file changes.
- Vulnerability scanning: checks for outdated plugins, themes, and known exploit paths.
- Configuration risks: flags insecure permissions, exposed files, and common misconfigurations.
- Reporting: clear findings with context and recommend next steps.
What we scan for
Malware Signals
Injected scripts, suspicious redirects, spam links, and known malicious patterns.
File Integrity
Unexpected changes to core files, themes, plugins, and uploads.
Vulnerability Exposure
Outdated components, risky plugin behavior, and common misconfigurations.
Why early detection matters
Example model: the longer an issue goes undetected, the more expensive it becomes to fix.
This is illustrative — we can replace this with real data or citations later.
What happens when we find something
Scans dont just “run”—they trigger a clear workflow so you know what's real, what matters, and what to do next.
Step 1
Detect
Our scanner flags malware indicators, suspicious file changes, exposed vulnerabilities, and risky configurations.
Step 2
Verify & assess
We review the signal to reduce false positives and determine severity—what's urgent, what's important, and what can wait.
Step 3
Notify
You get an alert with what changed, why it matters, and recommended next steps—so you're not guessing or digging through logs.
Step 4
Act
Depending on your care plan, we either remediate directly or guide you with a clear action plan (patch, clean, restore, harden, and prevent repeats).
Goal: catch early signals, stop small issues from becoming expensive incidents, and keep your site trustworthy to customers and search engines.
FAQ
Will scans slow my site down?
We use lightweight, scheduled checks and avoid anything that would bog down performance.
If something is found, do you fix it?
Yes — we'll alert you and either remediate directly (depending on your plan) or guide you with clear steps.
Is this the same as backups and updates?
No — scans detect threats. Backups help recovery. Updates reduce exposure. Together they create a strong safety net.
