Cybersecurity

WordPress powers 43% of the web — and it's the most attacked CMS by a large margin

We audit and harden your WordPress site against the attacks that actually succeed: plugin vulnerabilities, credential attacks, file upload exploits, and misconfigured hosting.

Get Free WordPress Security Assessment

The challenges you're facing

Out-of-date plugins and themes with known CVEs that can be exploited by automated scanners in minutes

Admin accounts with weak passwords and no MFA that password spraying attacks will eventually crack

No security monitoring — the first sign of compromise is customer complaints or a Google Search Console warning

WordPress Security Audit, Hardening, and Monitoring Setup

We perform a comprehensive WordPress security audit covering core, plugin, and theme vulnerability assessment, user account and authentication review, file permission and server configuration audit, XML-RPC and REST API exposure, database security, PHP configuration, and hosting environment settings. We then harden every identified gap and set up security monitoring so you know if something happens.

What you get

Vulnerability Assessment

Scan core, all plugins, and themes for known CVEs. Identify outdated versions and abandoned/vulnerable software.

Authentication & Access Hardening

Implement login protection, enforce strong passwords, add 2FA, and harden user roles and permissions.

Server & Configuration Hardening

Fix file permissions, disable XML-RPC, restrict REST API, configure security headers, and disable directory listing.

Security Monitoring Setup

Deploy WordPress security monitoring (Wordfence or Sucuri), configure file change monitoring, and set up alerts.

Case study — anonymised

E-commerce — WooCommerce Store

Before

WooCommerce site with 47 plugins installed (31 with available updates, 4 with critical CVEs). Admin user 'admin' with default username never changed. No security monitoring.

After

All CVEs remediated, admin hardened with 2FA and strong credentials, XML-RPC disabled, security monitoring deployed, Cloudflare WAF enabled.

Automated attack attempts blocked: 2,400 in first 30 days. Zero successful intrusions. PCI DSS compliance checklist item cleared for card-present transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from enterprise and mid-market teams across India and internationally.

What are the most common WordPress security vulnerabilities?

The top WordPress attack vectors are: (1) Outdated plugins with known CVEs — automated scanners target these constantly. (2) Credential attacks on wp-admin — password spray and brute force. (3) XML-RPC abuse — used for DDoS amplification and credential attacks. (4) File upload vulnerabilities in themes/plugins. (5) Server misconfiguration exposing sensitive files.

How many plugins is too many?

Every plugin is a potential attack surface. Unused plugins (even deactivated ones) should be deleted entirely. For active plugins, prioritise those from reputable authors with active maintenance histories. Plugins with fewer than 1,000 active installs or no updates in 2+ years carry elevated risk.

Do I need to use WordPress-specific hosting for security?

Managed WordPress hosting (WP Engine, Kinsta, Pressable) provides additional security layers: automatic core updates, malware scanning, and WAF. Shared hosting is highest risk. However, hardening works on any hosting — the fundamental controls are applied at the WordPress and server configuration level.

How do I know if my WordPress site has already been compromised?

Warning signs include: Google Search Console security alerts, unexpected admin users, strange redirects for mobile users, customer reports of antivirus warnings, unusual server resource usage, and new PHP files in unexpected locations. We include a compromise investigation in our audit if indicators are present.
