WordPress Hardening Module

AegisShield Hardening strengthens WordPress by closing common security gaps while giving administrators full visibility into how their site is protected. Instead of silently blocking threats, it enforces proven security controls and records every violation with clear context, allowing admins to monitor, alert, and respond based on their own security policies. The result is a hardened WordPress environment that is proactive, transparent, and fully under the administrator’s control.

AegisShield Hardening Module

Proactive security controls with full visibility, not silent blocking

The AegisShield Hardening Module transforms WordPress security from a collection of hidden tweaks into a visible, enforceable, and auditable protection layer. Instead of relying on scattered constants, server edits, or “set-and-forget” hardening plugins, AegisShield gives administrators centralized control, real enforcement, and complete activity intelligence all from within WordPress.

Every hardening option is designed to reduce real-world attack surfaces such as dashboard code editing, XML-RPC abuse, user enumeration, weak credentials, and unsafe REST access. When protections are enabled, AegisShield doesn’t just block risky behavior it records every violation with structured security context, allowing administrators to review, alert, and respond based on their own risk tolerance.

Unlike traditional hardening tools that silently deny requests, AegisShield integrates each protection directly into the Activity Log and Alerts system, giving site owners clarity into who attempted what, when, and why it was blocked. This turns hardening from an invisible background feature into actionable security intelligence.

Vulnerability Scans

Vulnerability Scan (Pro) provides WordPress administrators with proactive security intelligence by identifying known risks across plugins, themes, and core components before they can be exploited. Designed as a PRO feature, it gives admins clear visibility into exposed or outdated software so they can prioritize updates and remediation instead of reacting after a compromise. Since attackers actively scan the internet for known vulnerabilities, this module helps shift site security from reactive cleanup to preventive protection reducing the likelihood of being targeted due to publicly known weaknesses.

Profile Role Risk Scanner

Available as a PRO-gated module, it provides visibility into exposed or outdated components so admins can prioritize updates and remediation instead of reacting after an incident. Since attackers actively scan the internet for known vulnerabilities, this feature enables proactive prevention by highlighting what needs attention early reducing the likelihood of compromise through publicly known weaknesses.
