Regular checks that catch problems before your customers do.
Most business sites don't go down because of some sophisticated attack — they go down because a plugin went unpatched for a year and nobody was watching. Ongoing scans catch the small stuff before it becomes a hacked site, a blacklisted domain, or a customer who saw it first.
Watching for the things that actually take a site down.

Common questions about security scanning
How often does a scan run?
Frequency depends on your Care Plan tier — monthly at minimum, weekly or continuous monitoring on higher tiers. See the pricing page for exact tiers.
Can you scan a site you didn't build?
Yes. A one-off scan on any site is available on request, whether or not we built it.
What happens if a scan finds something serious?
You're contacted right away, not after the next scheduled report. You get a prioritised report — critical issues needing immediate action, high-priority items within a week, and lower-priority ones to plan for — each explained in plain language. Remediation is quoted separately: the scan fee is a standalone diagnostic, not a deposit against fixing costs, so you see full costs before any work begins. If you're on a Care Plan, the fix is already covered within the plan scope.
Does this replace hosting-level security?
No — the two work together. Hosting-level firewalls block attacks in real time; scans catch what's already on the site or about to expire, like an SSL certificate.
What a security scan actually checks
Most site owners do not discover a breach until a customer reports something strange, Google shows a warning, or the hosting company suspends the account. By that point the malware has typically been present for days or weeks — long enough to affect search rankings, email deliverability, and customer trust.
A proactive security scan catches problems before that happens. It checks:
File integrity
Comparing live server files against known clean versions — malware commonly hides inside WordPress theme files, plugin directories, and wp-config.php.
Malware signatures
Scanning against databases of known patterns — redirects, phishing scripts, cryptocurrency miners, spam-sending code injected invisibly into page output.
Outbound connections
Identifying whether the site is contacting external servers it should not be — a reliable indicator of an active compromise.
SSL certificate status
Verifying the certificate is current, correctly configured, and covers all domains and subdomains.
Software versions
Flagging WordPress core, plugins, and themes with known published vulnerabilities (CVEs) that automated exploit tools actively target.
Admin account audit
Checking for admin users that should not exist — a common persistence mechanism left behind after a breach.
Blacklist status
Whether the domain or hosting IP appears on Google Safe Browsing, Spamhaus, or other blacklists that damage search visibility and email deliverability.

Outdated WordPress plugins
The single most common entry point. Plugin developers release security patches continuously — an unpatched plugin with a known CVE will be exploited by automated tools within days of publication. Ajwa Organics came to us after exactly this kind of breach: see the full rebuild case study.
Weak or reused admin passwords
Brute-force attacks on WordPress admin panels run continuously across the internet. A short or dictionary-based password will eventually be found. Two-factor authentication on the admin account eliminates this attack vector entirely.
Shared hosting with no account isolation
On cheap shared hosting, a compromised site on the same server can affect neighbouring accounts — a structural risk that patching the site itself cannot fix. The solution is moving to hosting with proper account isolation.
Backups stored on the same server
A backup in a folder on the compromised hosting account is not a backup — it will be affected by the same breach. Real backups are stored independently on a separate service, in a separate account.
Worth a Look
Don't wait for a customer to find the problem first.
One message. That's the whole first step.
