WordPress Security Services
WordPress security services that protect your whole site.
BugShield combines plugin vulnerability checks, WordPress hardening, malware protection, security monitoring, and encrypted credential sharing with developers ready to act when something looks wrong.
Layers of Protection
WordPress security services that cover the whole site
Effective security is not one scan or plugin. It means finding vulnerable software, closing common weak points, watching for threats, and sharing access without exposing passwords.
Plugin vulnerability checks
See installed versions, available updates, and known vulnerabilities before an exposed plugin becomes an entry point.
WordPress hardening
We tighten login protection, file permissions, and settings that leave most sites exposed by default.
Security monitoring
Regular malware, file integrity, and blacklist checks catch problems before visitors or search engines notice.
Password Vault
Encrypted credentials tied to your site, shared safely with developers only when a fix needs them.

Plugin Security
Find vulnerable plugins before attackers do
Outdated and vulnerable plugins are a common route into WordPress. BugShield keeps a clear inventory of plugins and themes, checks installed versions, flags known vulnerabilities, and shows which updates need attention.
-
Full plugin inventory so nothing slips through unnoticed.
-
Security patches prioritised so critical fixes go first.
-
Every update logged in your activity history with date and result.
Strong login policies
Limit failed login attempts and block suspicious IP addresses.
File access locked down
Sensitive files and directories protected from public access.
Admin account review
Old or unused admin accounts identified and removed.
Risky defaults fixed
Common misconfigurations that expose your site corrected.
WordPress Hardening
Close the doors hackers look for first
A default WordPress install leaves more open than most owners realise. We tighten the common weak points: login pages, file access, admin accounts, and settings that should never be left on their factory defaults.
-
Login protection against brute-force attacks and repeated failed attempts.
-
File and folder permissions reviewed and corrected where needed.
-
Unused accounts and risky settings flagged during routine maintenance.

Malware Prevention
Catch threats before your customers do
Our WordPress security services watch for changed files, injected code, malware, and blacklist warnings. Shield Pro adds active malware prevention and priority help when a security issue appears.

Malware Removal
Already hacked? We clean it up properly
Finding spam links, redirecting visitors, or a warning from Google is terrifying. Our developers remove malicious code, close the entry point, and get your site back to a clean state.
Assess the damage
Scan the full site, identify infected files, and find how the attacker got in.
Remove malicious code
Clean infected files, delete backdoors, and restore anything corrupted from backup.
Close the entry point
Patch the vulnerable plugin, reset compromised passwords, and harden weak settings.
Verify and monitor
Re-scan to confirm the site is clean. Monitoring continues afterward so issues are caught early if they return.

Password Vault
One safe home for all your website passwords
Your WordPress login, hosting account, and anything else your site needs. Add them once and they are shared safely with your developer for each fix, instead of being pasted into emails and chat messages forever.
-
Room for everything. WordPress logins, hosting accounts, file access, and anything else.
-
Hidden by default. Only revealed to the developer working on an active fix.
-
Private site notes for anything else your developer should know.
Infrastructure
Hardened from the plugin up
Safe Plugin Connection
On maintenance plans, the BugShield plugin connects using secure keys that change regularly, never your password, and you can disconnect it any time.
Protected in Transit
Everything travelling between your site, our servers, and your browser is encrypted on the way, the same way online banking is.
Access Only When Needed
Developers can only get in while they are working on your fix. The moment the fix is complete, their access ends automatically.

How It Works
From connect to covered
Security sits in the background of your membership. You hear from us when something needs attention.
1. Connect your site
Add your domain, choose a maintenance plan, and install the plugin. Hardening and scans start with ongoing care.
2. We lock down and watch
Plugin health, security scans, and Vault-backed access run in the background while you keep publishing.
3. We act when something looks wrong
If a scan or hardening check needs attention, we start work and chat with you until it is resolved.

FAQ
WordPress security services FAQs
Straight answers about hardening, malware protection, plugin vulnerabilities, the Vault, and developer access.
What do BugShield WordPress security services include?
BugShield WordPress security services include plugin and theme inventory checks, known-vulnerability awareness, WordPress hardening, security monitoring, encrypted credential storage, activity logging, and developer support. Shield Pro adds active malware prevention and cleanup under the plan.
How does BugShield check plugins for security problems?
The BugShield dashboard keeps an inventory of installed plugins and themes, their current versions, available updates, and known vulnerability findings. This makes it clear which software needs attention and helps security patches get prioritised.
Does WordPress security monitoring run all the time?
Yes. BugShield monitors your connected WordPress site around the clock. Checks run on schedules suited to uptime, plugin health, file integrity, SSL, and other security signals, with alerts when something needs attention.
How does the Password Vault stay secure?
Vault items are encrypted and tied to the relevant website. Developers only receive access when they are actively working on that site, and every credential redemption is recorded in your activity history.
Do developers keep access after a fix?
No. Access is only while work is in progress. When the fix is complete, developer access ends automatically.
What is the difference between Shield Light and Shield Pro for security?
Both plans include monitoring, plugin health checks, activity history, developer support, and the encrypted Password Vault. Shield Pro adds active malware prevention, malware cleanup under the plan, and priority support. Compare them on the pricing page.
What happens if my WordPress site is already hacked?
BugShield can assess the damage, remove malicious code and backdoors, close the entry point, and verify the site is clean. Malware cleanup is included with Shield Pro, or you can request a one-off malware removal.
Will BugShield security checks slow down my website?
The BugShield connection is designed to stay lightweight. Scheduled checks run without loading a security dashboard inside WordPress, while results and alerts are presented in your external BugShield workspace.
Can I protect more than one WordPress website?
Yes. Add multiple WordPress sites to one BugShield account and switch between their monitoring, plugin health, Vault items, activity logs, and fix requests. Each maintenance subscription belongs to one site.
Do I need a maintenance plan to use the Password Vault?
No. The encrypted Password Vault is available for one-off fixes as well as maintenance plans. A maintenance plan adds ongoing monitoring, backups, plugin health checks, included fixes, and subscriber support for that site.
