Vulnerability management for WordPress agencies
fastest mitigation
Choose Patchstack as your backend security layer and automate security for care plans.
Security shouldn’t be an afterthought, it’s a selling point
It may not be your job, but it becomes your problem. Agencies rarely have security teams yet are expected to own security.
Minimize the exposure window and avoid downtime
Rushing updates can break functionality, cause conflicts with custom code, or triggers regressions. Patchstack keeps websites secure until an update can be safely tested.
Comply with emerging industry standards
Agencies working with regulated industries (finance, healthcare, legal) will benefit from complying with GDPR, PCI-DSS, ISO standards through continuous vulnerability management.
A recurring revenue opportunity
Increase revenue up to 150% with maintenance plans while Patchstack saves hours on remediation and reporting.
No need to break your daily workflow with critical software updates.
Manually patching vulnerabilities isn’t scalable across dozens of websites.
Improve billable efficiency and increase productivity thanks to automated mitigation.
Patchstack neutralizes vulnerabilities before they can be exploited
RapidMitigate combines deep application visibility (SCA), threat intelligence (TI) and context-aware prioritization (based on KEV) to deploy on-demand mitigation rules.
How RapidMitigate works
No code changes that break your websites
No false positives or tooling conflicts
Zero-click fixes with automated rule deployment
New proactive approach
A vulnerability is detected on the website
A rule is auto-triggered only on-demand
The vulnerability is secured against attacks
User resolves the vulnerability by updating to the patched version when convenient
Old reactive approach
The website becomes vulnerable
The website is attacked and compromized
The website needs to be manually remediated
Website can be re-compromized until resolved

Security finally meets simplicity
Vulnerabilities in open-source are publicly known and easily targeted in large-surface attacks. Patchstack mitigates threats in 3 easy steps:
Get first month freeAnalysis SCA
Forget scans! By performing Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Patchstack has real-time visibility into what components the website is made of, enabling precise and proactive security.
Prioritization KEV
No more alert fatigue! By continuously monitoring 11,000 mitigation rules across the entire Patchstack network, we maintain real-time visibility into Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEVs), allowing us to accurately identify and prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities.
Mitigation
As the largest processor (CNA) of open-source vulnerability intelligence, we are the first to detect and mitigate new vulnerabilities. Patchstack bypasses SDLC and delivers conflict-free protection with no code changes or false positives.
Protection modules make WordPress security easy
Protect websites from takeover, defacement, malware injection, ransomware, SEO spam, traffic redirection, SEO ranking drops, Google penalties, & more.
RapidMitigate
12,000 highly targeted rules block attacks against vulnerabilities in software.
Hardening
Additional protection rules to block common malicious requests against WordPress.
IP Blocklist
Block IPs known for attacks and contribute threat data back to other users.
Build your own workflow using API
Deliver monthly security reports, manage vulnerabilities within your existing dashboard, block attackers at the network level via DNS firewall, sync data with Enterprise SIEM/SOC tools, and build powerful automations.

Pricing and featuresWhat the FAQ
Patchstack partners with many hosting companies that offer vulnerability alerts and real-time protection. Please contact your hosting company's support to see if they offer Patchstack protection and if that option is more affordable for you.
WAF stands for Web Application Firewall, which is a firewall that inspects web traffic and blocks malicious requests. WAFs typically run on the web server software itself, and have limited knowledge of the websites they are protecting. WAFs tend to include and run all firewall rules against all requests, even if it does not apply to the underlying software.
RapidMitigate works a lot like a WAF: blocking known malicious requests but runs within the website itself. RapidMitigate goes a step further, and can take into context information that only the website (such as WordPress) itself is aware of, like user authorization, software versions, etc… Mitigation rules tend to be more efficient, and cause less resource usage in the website compared to a WAF because the only rules that are enabled are the ones applicable for each website.
Attackers automatically target all websites to build large bot nets to perform more complex attacks against lucrative targets. Even a basic website gives attackers one more node for future attacks. We believe better web security is a community effort.
Since Patchstack is focused on prevention in the first place, it does not scan your files like a malware scanner and won't help you in finding existing malware on your website. We recommend reaching out to your hosting provider or a professional.
Yes, Patchstack also prevents malicious actors exploiting known vulnerabilities in WooCommerce and plugins for WooCommerce.
Regular firewalls aren't effective against vulnerability exploits, because such attacks rely on logic mistakes in your plugins and themes. Patchstack’s real-time protection fills in gaps that other tools miss, so you get specialized protection at the most commonly compromised level.
Reduce the high costs of downtime and hack cleanups. Stay proactive and protect your sites with Patchstack!
We encourage pairing Patchstack with other security tools, such as WPVivid or UpdraftPlus for backups and WPUmbrella or ManageWP for uptime monitoring. You may also check with your hosting service provider whether they offer pluginless server-side backups.
Patchstack runs several tasks on each page load but based on tests from us and from our customers we have seen that Patchstack does not affect your website's performance in any significant or noticeable way. In fact, a test done by one of our users indicated that Patchstack is up to 10x lighter than competing security services.
Malware is most commonly injected by exploiting security vulnerabilities. Patchstack detects those vulnerabilities and automatically applies highly targeted mitigation rules that provide highly targeted, lightweight and effective way to hold off attacks to prevent any malware to get inside.
Malware scanners on the other hand scan for already injected malware which means the website has already been compromised and infected which also requires a thorough clean-up. While having regular malware scans is important to cover your back, it’s always better to prevent malware infections in the first place.
The Patchstack plugin can help, but patching is up to you. The plugin will inform you if your website(s) are running any known insecure components and allow you to be sure your sites are running secure versions before your test or auditing date.
