WordPress Security Audit (Core, Plugins, Hosting)

A full security audit of WordPress core, plugins, themes, users and hosting — so you know exactly what's exposed before anyone touches a setting.

WordPress runs a huge share of the web — and takes a huge share of the attacks.

Most WordPress compromises come in through a known weakness in a plugin, a stale theme, an over-privileged account or a misconfigured host. This audit finds and documents those weaknesses across your whole stack, and tells you which ones actually matter for your site. Remediation and hardening are available as a separate add-on once you know what needs fixing.

What's included

Patching — core, theme, and plugin updates brought current and verified.

Plugin audit — remove abandoned or vulnerable plugins and reduce attack surface.

Configuration lockdown — file permissions, admin access, and secure defaults.

WAF, backup & monitoring — a web application firewall plus backup and monitoring setup so issues are caught early.

How the engagement runs

We audit your site against your actual configuration and hand back a prioritised findings report with clear remediation guidance. Scope and price are fixed in writing before any work begins, and hardening can be added once the findings are agreed.

What the audit covers

Five layers, locked down

Each engagement works through the full stack — no single layer is enough on its own.

1

Patch level review

Core, theme and plugin versions checked against known vulnerabilities — we report exactly which holes are currently open.

2

Plugin and theme inventory

Every plugin and theme catalogued, with abandoned, duplicated and vulnerable components identified and ranked by risk.

3

Configuration review

File permissions, admin access, login protection and insecure defaults assessed across the install.

4

User and access audit

Accounts, roles and privileges reviewed for over-permissioned users, stale logins and weak authentication.

5

Hosting & backup posture

Server configuration, TLS, exposed services and backup coverage examined — including whether a restore would actually work.

Lock down your WordPress site.

Fixed scope, fixed price, and a clear picture of what's exposed — with hardening available once you decide what to fix.
