Built for real-world WordPress

WordPress 6.0 – 7.x PHP 7.4 – 8.3 WooCommerce & Elementor ready Multisite compatible

Everything you need, in a single plugin.

You don’t need to be a security expert. Scudo Security sets up in minutes and works quietly in the background to protect your site.

Web Application Firewall

Blocks SQL-injection, XSS, path-traversal and command-injection patterns as WordPress boots. Pro adds your own allow and block rules on top of the built-in engine.

Malware & integrity scanning

Resumable scans check your core files against the official WordPress checksums and flag backdoors and obfuscated code — then quarantine or repair them safely, never a blind delete.

Pro

GeoIP blocking & rate limiting

Block traffic by country behind your CDN and throttle abusive clients by requests-per-minute, with real client-IP detection.

Two-factor authentication

TOTP with any authenticator app and single-use backup codes — every user can enrol themselves. Pro adds enforcement by role: the roles you choose are prompted until they set it up.

Pro

Hide login & backend

Move wp-login.php to a secret address and keep bots — and non-administrators — out of wp-admin.

Brute-force protection & CAPTCHA

Login-attempt limits, automatic IP lockouts and an invisible CAPTCHA stop password-guessing bots. The web login and XML-RPC are tracked separately, so abuse of one never locks you out of the other.

Plus the complete security toolkit

Every install includes the full set — free features are always on, Pro features are marked.

Vulnerability advisory overlay

Flags installed plugins and themes that are abandoned or have been pulled from the repository, and cross-checks them against any JSON advisory feed you point it at.

Comment & form spam protection

Honeypot and time-trap on comments and the major form plugins.

XML-RPC 2FA requirement

Keep XML-RPC working but require a 2FA code, instead of disabling it outright.

Strong-password policy

Enforce strong passwords on profile updates and resets.

Security headers & CSP

X-Frame-Options, nosniff, Referrer-Policy and a report-only CSP, with an HTTPS/HSTS check.

Activity log

Every login, change and security block — searchable, filterable and paginated. CSV export in Pro.

Hide the admin bar

Hide the WordPress admin bar for non-administrators.

Security score & recommendations

A transparent 0–100 score with a prioritised, actionable to-do list.

Safe Mode & recovery

Three database-less escape routes that always get you back in.

Content-Security-Policy builder Pro

Compose and ship a CSP from the dashboard, report-only first, without hand-editing headers.

Compromised-password blocking Pro

Reject passwords found in known data breaches — only a short hash prefix is ever sent.

Email alerts & weekly report Pro

Administrator-login alerts and a weekly security digest by email.

Stop worrying about hacker attacks.

Botnets automatically probe thousands of WordPress sites every day, looking for outdated plugins or weak passwords. Scudo Security adds a strong, layered defense — firewall, brute-force protection and malware scanning working together.

  • Custom firewall rules: Add your own allow and block rules on top of the built-in engine (Pro).
  • GeoIP blocking: Block traffic from entire countries behind your CDN, with real client-IP detection (Pro).
  • Activity log: See exactly who tries to access your site and from where — searchable, filterable and paginated.
