Fast Plugin Vulnerability Patching & Security Updates

Vendor patches are official updates released by plugin developers. Custom hotfixes are temporary security fixes we develop when vendor patches are delayed or unavailable. Hotfixes include input validation, access control improvements, and virtual WAF-based protections that block exploits until permanent vendor updates are released. We always replace hotfixes with official patches when they become available.

Patching can change behavior, which is why we use comprehensive testing protocols. We stage updates in isolated environments, test critical functions including checkout and forms, implement canary rollouts monitoring error rates, and maintain automated rollback mechanisms. Our 99.7% zero-downtime success rate demonstrates effective risk management. If issues occur, we can restore previous versions instantly.

Yes. Our security engineers perform code review to identify vulnerabilities, develop secure fixes following best practices, test thoroughly in your environment, and provide documentation explaining changes made. We also offer ongoing security consulting to help your development team prevent future vulnerabilities in custom code.

Emergency cases receive triage within hours. For critical actively exploited vulnerabilities, we can deploy temporary mitigations (virtual patches, feature disabling, WAF rules) the same day to block exploit attempts. Full testing and permanent patching typically completes within 24-48 hours depending on complexity. Our priority is stopping active exploitation immediately while ensuring safe permanent remediation.

Yes. Our SaaS patch management service monitors plugin vulnerabilities across your entire portfolio, provides centralized dashboards tracking patch status, automates vulnerability detection and prioritization, schedules coordinated patch windows, and delivers monthly compliance reports. Ideal for agencies, enterprises, and multi-brand organizations managing dozens or hundreds of websites.

We assess your options including: migrating to maintained alternative plugins with similar functionality, developing custom replacement solutions, implementing compensating security controls if the plugin is critical, or hardening the existing code to reduce exploit risk. We provide strategic recommendations based on functionality importance, technical debt, and long-term maintainability.

Our staging environment mirrors your production configuration exactly, including theme, all plugins, PHP version, and server settings. We execute comprehensive test suites covering plugin interactions, theme compatibility, JavaScript functionality, and API integrations. If conflicts arise, we coordinate updates, adjust configurations, or implement temporary workarounds while maintaining security.

Complete audit trails including: patch logs with timestamps and file hashes, before/after vulnerability scan reports from multiple engines, test results and functionality verification, rollback artifacts and snapshots, CVE references and risk scores, remediation timelines showing response speed, and executive summaries suitable for board presentations. Documentation meets PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 requirements.

Absolutely. We integrate with your development workflows, communicate via your preferred channels (Slack, Jira, email), schedule patches around your deployment windows, provide detailed technical documentation, and offer collaborative review sessions. Many clients appreciate having independent security expertise that complements internal teams without duplicating effort.

Continuous vulnerability monitoring across all sites, automated CVE detection and threat intelligence integration, risk scoring and prioritization engine, scheduled patch windows with pre-approval workflows, multi-site dashboard with compliance reporting, monthly executive summaries with security trends, plugin lifecycle management and EOL warnings, emergency response priority for critical vulnerabilities, and dedicated security engineer support.
