Patchstack

Patchstack is a dedicated security solution for WordPress websites, designed to protect against vulnerabilities that often arise from third-party plugins. In 2022, Patchstack disclosed over 4,500 new security vulnerabilities, indicating its commitment to keeping WordPress environments secure. The service offers a feature known as vPatching, which automatically applies virtual patches to identified vulnerabilities, preventing exploitation without requiring code changes on the user's site.

Patchstack includes a variety of functionalities aimed at proactive security measures, such as early vulnerability warnings, custom alerts, and comprehensive malware scanning. Unlike traditional malware scanners, which only detect infections post-factum, Patchstack emphasizes preventive measures to safeguard your site.

Users can create an account and set up billing to connect their websites through an easy-to-install plugin, allowing them to customize their security settings according to their specific needs. Patchstack's pricing structure includes various plans, catering to different requirements, with the Community plan starting at $5 per site per month, the Developer plan at $89 monthly, and the Business plan at $459 monthly. All plans come with features such as vulnerability monitoring, real-time protection, and a 30-day money-back guarantee, along with priority support for higher-tier plans.

For those looking to enhance their security measures, Patchstack also provides a bug bounty program and access to a vulnerability database, further enriching its offerings for agencies, plugin developers, and website hosts. Testimonials from users highlight the service's effectiveness in improving website security and enhancing user workflows.
