What is WordPress penetration testing?

WordPress penetration testing is specialized security assessment targeting WordPress websites examining plugin vulnerabilities, theme vulnerabilities, WordPress core security, admin panel security, database security, and WordPress-specific attack vectors. Professional WordPress security testing identifies security weaknesses in WordPress plugins, themes, configurations, and custom code before hackers exploit them. Comprehensive WordPress vulnerability assessment combines automated WordPress vulnerability scanning with manual testing by certified WordPress security testers examining wp-admin protection, WordPress authentication, WordPress API security, and all WordPress security controls.

How much does WordPress security testing cost?

WordPress security testing cost varies based on site complexity and plugin count. Basic WordPress security audit costs $1,400-2,000 for small sites with under 10 plugins. Professional WordPress penetration testing services range $3,500-5,000 for medium sites with 20-30 plugins. Enterprise WordPress security assessment costs $9,000-15,000 for large sites with complex configurations, multisite installations, or custom development. Affordable WordPress penetration testing is available for small businesses under $2,000. Investment prevents WordPress breaches averaging $180,000 in damages making professional WordPress security testing extremely cost-effective.

Why are WordPress plugins such a security risk?

WordPress plugins account for 95% of WordPress vulnerabilities because plugin development varies widely in security quality. Many plugins contain SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypass, file upload, and other critical vulnerabilities. Outdated plugins with known vulnerabilities remain installed on millions of sites. Abandoned plugins receive no security updates leaving permanent vulnerabilities. Nulled or pirated plugins often contain malicious backdoors. Professional WordPress plugin security testing identifies these vulnerabilities through comprehensive WordPress plugin vulnerability assessment examining all installed plugins, checking versions against CVE databases, testing for common plugin vulnerabilities, and detecting malicious plugin code.

How often should we perform WordPress security testing?

Minimum: annual comprehensive WordPress security audit for all WordPress sites. Recommended: semi-annual WordPress vulnerability assessment for business-critical sites and WooCommerce stores. Essential: immediate WordPress penetration testing after plugin updates, theme changes, or suspected compromises. Monthly: WordPress malware detection scanning for high-value targets. For WordPress security testing for agencies managing multiple client sites, quarterly testing across portfolio ensures comprehensive protection. Regular professional WordPress security testing prevents exploitation of newly discovered plugin vulnerabilities and detects compromises early minimizing damage.
