Not sure if your site is secure — or already compromised? A security audit answers that. We examine your WordPress install end to end, find the vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and hidden risks an attacker would exploit, and hand you a clear, prioritized report of exactly what to fix first.

Who This Is For
Clarity, Not Guesswork
You get a prioritized findings report — what’s wrong, how risky, and what to do.
Quick Answer
A WordPress security audit is a point-in-time assessment of your site’s security posture. It’s diagnostic, not a cleanup or a lockdown: we look for known vulnerabilities, weak configurations, suspicious code, risky user access, and outdated components, then document what we find and rank it by severity. The deliverable is a report you can act on — or hand to us, or your developer, to fix.
Think of it as the diagnosis that comes before treatment. An audit tells you what’s wrong and how exposed you are; hardening is the work of fixing it. If the audit uncovers an active infection, we’ll flag it clearly and point you to the right cleanup. With researchers cataloging over 11,000 new WordPress vulnerabilities in 2025 — many exploited within hours of disclosure — knowing your exposure is the first step to controlling it.

We look where attackers look — across code, configuration, access, and reputation — so nothing risky hides in a blind spot.
Core, plugin, and theme versions checked against known vulnerability databases to flag anything outdated, abandoned, or actively exploited.
We scan files and database for injected code, web shells, and suspicious patterns — and flag anything that looks like an active or dormant infection.
wp-config settings, file permissions, exposed files, XML-RPC, and other hardening gaps that quietly widen your attack surface.
Admin accounts, rogue or unknown users, weak roles, and login exposure — the credentials and access paths attackers target first.
Whether your domain is flagged by Google Safe Browsing or other blacklists, and whether your search listings show signs of compromise.
Whether you have working, off-site backups and a realistic recovery path — the difference between an incident and a disaster.
An audit is the assessment — it tells you what’s wrong and how serious each issue is. Actually closing those gaps (2FA, wp-config lockdown, firewall, permissions, and the rest) is security hardening. Many people start with an audit to decide what’s worth doing, then harden. If you already know you want the full lockdown, you can skip straight to hardening.
An audit isn’t a cleanup, but it often surfaces one. If we find live malware — a redirect, SEO spam, a skimmer, or a backdoor — we’ll tell you plainly, show you the evidence, and point you to the matching removal service so it gets eradicated properly rather than half-patched.
The Process
A thorough look, then a report you can actually use — no jargon dump, no scare tactics.
You share your site (and read access where helpful), we confirm what’s in scope, and we set expectations for the report and turnaround.
We run the vulnerability, malware, configuration, access, and reputation checks above, correlating findings so we understand real risk, not just raw flags.
Every issue is ranked by severity and likelihood, so you know what’s urgent, what’s worth doing, and what’s optional.
You get a clear report with specific next steps, and we answer your questions so you know exactly what to do — yourself or with us.

No. An audit assesses and reports; it doesn’t remove malware or change your configuration. If we find an active infection, we’ll flag it and point you to the right removal service so it’s fixed properly.
If you want to know your risks first, start with an audit. If you already know you want the full lockdown done, go straight to hardening. Many people do the audit, then harden based on what it found.
No. It’s largely a read-and-review process designed to be non-disruptive. We don’t make changes to your site during an audit — that’s a separate, opt-in step.
A prioritized findings report: each issue, its severity, why it matters, and the recommended fix — written to be understandable, whether you act on it yourself, hand it to a developer, or have us do it.
Most audits are completed within a day or two depending on site size. It’s a flat $75, one-time. Contact us to get started.
