Security isn’t a checklist
Most “security” offerings for WordPress amount to installing a plugin, running a scan, and emailing you a PDF. That’s not a security posture — it’s auditing theater.
Wordimatic’s security and uptime monitoring is an active, ongoing operation. We watch your site continuously, run real vulnerability detection (not just plugin version matching), and fix issues ourselves rather than escalating them back to you.
What we monitor
Uptime and availability
We check your site from multiple geographic locations every 60 seconds. If your site goes down — or starts responding slowly — our on-call engineer gets an immediate alert. You’ll be notified too, but typically after we’re already investigating.
We track response times alongside uptime. A site that loads in 8 seconds isn’t “up” in any meaningful sense. If performance degrades, we get the same alert.
Vulnerability scanning
Our scanner runs daily against every managed site and checks for:
- Plugin and theme versions with known CVEs
- Malware and injected code in files and the database
- Suspicious user accounts and privilege escalations
- Exposed configuration files and open file permissions
- WordPress configuration against current security best practices
- Unexpected outbound connections from your server
When we find something real, we fix it — we don’t just log it.
Staged core and plugin updates
Unvetted automatic updates are one of the most common causes of WordPress breakage. We don’t apply updates directly to production.
Every core update and plugin update goes to a staging environment first. An automated test suite checks for visual regressions, fatal PHP errors, and JavaScript console errors. A human engineer reviews the results before anything touches your live site.
You get a notification when updates are applied, with a changelog summary so you always know what changed and when.
Login and access monitoring
We monitor authentication events for brute-force attempts, credential stuffing patterns, and unexpected admin account creation. Rate limiting, CAPTCHA, and two-factor authentication are applied at the infrastructure level — not bolted on via a plugin.
The security baseline
Every site we manage gets a hardened configuration applied on onboarding:
- Login rate limiting enforced at the server level
- XML-RPC disabled unless your workflows require it
- REST API endpoints authenticated where they don’t need to be public
- File editing disabled in wp-admin
wp-config.phpand.htaccesswrite-protected- Directory listing disabled
DISALLOW_FILE_MODSandDISALLOW_FILE_EDITenforced in wp-config
This isn’t a checklist we run once — it’s a configuration we maintain and enforce across every update cycle.
When something goes wrong
If a scan turns up malware, a vulnerability is exploited, or your site goes down, we don’t send you a ticket asking for next steps. We start working the problem and keep you informed as we go.
For sites on our Operate plan, an engineer responds to emergency incidents within one hour, around the clock.
Reporting
Every month you receive a plain-English security report covering: what was scanned, what (if anything) was found, what updates were applied, and your uptime numbers for the period. No jargon, no PDF attachments — a clean summary delivered to your inbox.
