This review identifies practical findings and priorities. It is not formal penetration testing or certification.

  • Review users, roles and admin exposure
  • Check plugin, theme and update posture

WordPress Security Audit FAQs

Questions About
WordPress Security Audits

Common questions before reviewing WordPress security posture.

Is a WordPress security audit a penetration test?

No. This is a practical technical review. Penetration testing would need separate scope.

Can you audit plugins and themes?

Yes. We review plugin and theme posture, update state and obvious maintenance concerns.

Will you fix issues found in the audit?

Fixes can be planned after the audit, but remediation work must be agreed separately.

Can an audit help after a WordPress hack?

Yes, but active compromise should usually be cleaned first. An audit can then guide hardening.

Do you guarantee finding every vulnerability?

No. No practical audit can guarantee discovery of every possible vulnerability.

What will the output include?

The output should explain what was reviewed, what was found, why it matters and what to prioritise.
