WordPress security for people responsible for many sites

Almost every WordPress compromise involves a component with a published vulnerability and an available patch. The attack was not sophisticated; the patching was slow. That makes this an operational problem, which is good news.

Context

The metric worth tracking

The single most useful security measure an agency can track is the time between a patch being published and it being applied across every affected site. Not how many updates you ran, not how many scans completed, but how long your clients stayed exposed to a problem that had a fix available.

Measuring it honestly for the first time is usually uncomfortable, because for most agencies the answer is weeks rather than hours. It is also the number that improves fastest once you have visibility, because the barrier is almost never technical.

What usually prevents fast patching is fear of breaking something, which is entirely rational if a previous update caused an incident. That is why safe updates and security are the same problem rather than separate ones: once every patch carries a restore point and automatic rollback, patching quickly becomes the safe option rather than the risky one.

Early access

Close the gap between disclosure and patch

Portfolio-wide vulnerability detection ranked by real exposure, with safe patching so speed does not mean risk.
