See WordPress risk from the outside in.
Aegisify Audit is a SaaS security assessment and site-intelligence platform built for WordPress. It combines external application testing with authorized evidence from the connected Aegisify Agent to identify vulnerable software, exposed routes, insecure configurations, code weaknesses, unexpected changes, operational gaps, and WooCommerce risk.
Risk
DAST
Change
A healthy-looking website can still carry risk.
A working homepage and a clean plugin screen do not confirm that the application, integrations, accounts, files, settings, or scheduled tasks are secure.
An outdated component may remain reachable through a public endpoint.
A custom integration may contain an authorization or code-level weakness.
A recent update may not explain unexpected changes or recovery gaps.
One platform. Two views. One clearer risk picture.
Aegisify Audit connects external exposure with internal WordPress evidence, then organizes the findings by domain so teams can investigate what matters first.
Assess what the public application exposes.
Review reachable website routes, login surfaces, APIs, forms, browser assets, security headers, and other externally visible services.
Collect authorized WordPress-side evidence.
Review installed software, configuration, permissions, code, dependency manifests, file changes, activity, and application health.
Move from scattered alerts to prioritized investigation.
See what is exposed, what exists internally, what changed, what may be vulnerable, and what should be verified next.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Aegisify Audit?
Aegisify Audit is a WordPress-focused security audit and risk-intelligence platform. It combines verified-domain external testing with an optional connected WordPress Agent for deeper internal evidence.
Is the Aegisify Agent required?
The Agent is required for deeper internal capabilities such as local inventory, code analysis, permissions, file drift, telemetry, activity evidence, and authenticated WordPress-side checks. Selected external assessments can evaluate publicly reachable surfaces without relying solely on the Agent.
Is Aegisify Audit a malware scanner?
Malware and suspicious-code heuristics are part of the platform, but Aegisify Audit is broader than a malware scanner. It also reviews application exposure, software vulnerabilities, code, dependencies, hardening, permissions, APIs, configuration, drift, logs, and WooCommerce evidence.
Does Aegisify Audit guarantee that my site is secure?
No security product can guarantee that a website is free from every vulnerability or future attack. Aegisify helps identify supported risk signals, organize evidence, prioritize review, and verify changes.
Does Aegisify Audit make my organization compliant?
No. Aegisify includes selected STIG- and SRG-aligned baseline checks that can support internal review and pre-audit preparation. It does not certify compliance or replace a formal assessment.
Is source code sent to the SaaS platform?
The Agent’s static-analysis workflow is designed to return structured findings, file metadata, rule identifiers, line ranges, and normalized evidence without transmitting source-code bodies through telemetry results. Organizations should validate the configuration against their privacy and security requirements.
Can Aegisify update vulnerable plugins or themes?
Eligible plugin and theme updates can be initiated through the signed Agent workflow when the account, component, WordPress environment, and file-modification policies permit it. The inventory can then be refreshed to verify the resulting version.
Does Aegisify support WooCommerce?
Yes. When WooCommerce is detected through supported evidence, Aegisify can review checkout, Store API, gateway, webhook, HPOS, Action Scheduler, template, privacy, logging, and payment-related posture.
Can scans run automatically?
Aegisify supports daily, weekly, and monthly scheduling, subject to account plan, domain, and scan-scope limits.
