Vulnerability management for WordPress agencies
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 trigger 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% (opens in new tab)↗ 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.
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 compromised
- The website needs to be manually remediated
- Website can be re-compromised 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:
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.
No more alert fatigue! By continuously monitoring 14k+ 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.
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.

What 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.
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 and software versions.
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.
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.
