WordPress Vulnerability Remediation
Finding vulnerabilities is important. Fixing them correctly is what reduces the risk.
Remediation approach
Each finding is reviewed, confirmed and prioritised before a suitable fix is implemented.
Plugin and theme updates
Updating or replacing vulnerable plugins and themes where a fix is available and compatible.
Custom code corrections
Correcting custom theme or plugin code where it is the source of a finding.
Access control improvements
Adjusting user roles, permissions and authentication controls identified as weaknesses.
Configuration changes
Applying configuration changes required to resolve identified findings.
Compatibility checks
Checking that remediation changes remain compatible with existing site functionality.
Testing and validation
Testing changes in a controlled environment where possible before deployment.
Retesting
Retesting the original finding once remediation is deployed to confirm the issue has been addressed.
Prioritised by risk
Findings are addressed in order of risk, so the issues most likely to be exploited are closed first.
Validated, not assumed
Each fix is validated and, where agreed, the finding is retested so you can show it has been closed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Remediation can be included as part of an engagement or provided separately, depending on the findings and agreed scope.
