What we check
What does a WordPress security audit actually check?
We go past a plugin's automated scan and read the parts that only a person can judge: your own code, your configuration and how everything fits together.
Core, plugin and theme audit
Outdated or abandoned plugins, known vulnerabilities, file permissions, admin accounts that should not exist, and exposed configuration files.
Custom code review
Every custom plugin, theme and snippet checked for nonces, capability checks, sanitized input and escaped output, the things automated scanners miss.
Plugin and theme code auditHardening
Login protection, file-edit locking, security headers, database prefix and user cleanup, applied without breaking anything that currently works.
Ongoing monitoring with WP Vanguard
WP Vanguard is the WordPress security scanner we build ourselves, at wpvanguard.com. We use it, alongside manual review, to watch a site after the audit closes.

How does a security audit run?
The same process whether the site is fine and you want peace of mind, or something already looks off.
Tell us about the site
Send access to a staging copy or a read-only login. A senior engineer reads every enquiry, usually the same day Monday to Friday.
Get a written report and a fixed price
A plain-language list of what we found, ranked by risk, with a fixed price for the fix before any work starts.
We harden and test on staging
Fixes are made and tested on a copy of your site first, then handed over with notes on what changed and why.
Keep it monitored
Optional: a care plan adds ongoing malware scanning and uptime monitoring so a new issue gets caught, not discovered by a customer.
Honest comparison
A security plugin alone, or a plugin plus an audit?
A good security plugin is not wasted money. It just cannot read your own code or judge a configuration decision the way a person can.
Security plugin alone | Security plugin plus an audit | |
|---|---|---|
| Blocks known automated attacks | ||
| Reads your custom plugins and theme code | Yes, line by line | |
| Judges a risky configuration decision | ||
| Finds a vulnerability before it is exploited | Sometimes | That is the point of the audit |
| Cost for a low-risk, standard site | Lower | An added fixed cost |
| Written report you can hand to a buyer or insurer |
