WordPress Security Risk Checklist
Review security hygiene indicators without presenting the result as a vulnerability scan.
Problem, cause, fix, verify
Problem
Security readiness includes users, updates, backups, file exposure, headers, forms, and incident planning.
Audience
WordPress administrators who want a simple pre-audit checklist.
First check
Answer yes/no questions about updates, administrator accounts, backups, public exposure, forms, headers, and response planning.
Verify
For client or stakeholder review, summarize the outcome as clear, watch, or action needed. Keep raw payloads, private paths, account details, and sensitive logs in the support record.

Configuration-readiness score and next steps.
What The Score Means
The checklist measures security hygiene, not whether the site has been fully tested for vulnerabilities. Use it to decide what deserves a deeper review.
Highest-Risk Gaps
Prioritize unknown administrators, missing backups, exposed logs or archives, abandoned plugins, weak recovery access, and public paths that reveal sensitive operational details.
Use With SiteCheck
Pair the checklist with public response checks when possible. The checklist covers process and configuration; public scanning covers what unauthenticated visitors and crawlers can see.
Follow-Up Routine
Repeat the checklist after launches, handoffs, incident response, major updates, and agency onboarding. A dated review note is more useful than a vague security assurance.
Escalation Packet
When a risk needs developer, host, or security support, include the affected URL, account or file context, timestamp, public evidence, recent changes, and what has already been checked.
Review Owner
Assign each weak answer to a real owner. Security work stalls when every risk is noted but nobody owns the password reset, backup test, file cleanup, or follow-up scan.
Plain-Language Result
For client or stakeholder review, summarize the outcome as clear, watch, or action needed. Keep raw payloads, private paths, account details, and sensitive logs in the support record.
