A deeper WordPress security scan

Most tools skim the surface, Intruder dives in. Our WordPress security scan runs more than 30,000 WordPress‑specific checks, backed by 170,000+ tests across your entire tech stack. You get a single, risk‑ranked view of every critical issue, so you can prioritize the exposures that matter and ignore the noise.

Intruder finds attack surface issues such as exposed databases and admin panels.

Instantly scan for new WordPress threats

When a fresh CVE drops, Intruder is already on it. The platform updates automatically and continuously rescans WordPress for vulnerabilities, shrinking your exposure window and keeping you ahead of emerging threats.

Fits seamlessly into your workflow

Finding issues is only half the job. Intruder pushes results straight into Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams and your CI/CD pipeline, so teams can act fast without changing how they work.

What website security checks does Intruder perform?

What do you mean by scanning your website, internally?

Your internal systems can be just as enticing to hackers as your external network so it’s important to test your website for vulnerabilities there too.

When we talk about scanning the website internally, we’re actually talking about scanning the web server that the website is hosted on. Web servers are internet-facing, but any sensitive information connected to them (such as databases) will sit behind a firewall, to prevent them from being reached by unauthorized individuals.

If ‘stuff’ can’t be reached externally, then remote checks won’t work and so you’d need to run local checks. At Intruder, all local/internal checks are performed via an agent which you’d install on the server.  

Internal vulnerability scanning also hunts through your website for missing patches and detects insecure versions of many thousands of software components and frameworks, including operating systems and network devices. Find out more about internal vulnerability scanning.

Can I scan my website if it is built using a CMS, such as Drupal?

Yes, if it’s reachable over the internet, we can scan it. Just add the domain, sub-domain, or IP address for your Drupal (or any other CMS-based) site and Intruder will run the same deep vulnerability checks you’d get for WordPress, custom apps, or static sites.

Which plan should I choose if I just want to scan my website?

Choose our Essential or Cloud plan to externally scan your website. If you are looking at our internal vulnerability scanning capability, this is only available to our Pro and Enterprise customers. Visit our pricing page to learn more.

What license should I buy for a website that doesn’t have a login-page?

Buy any of our Essential or Pro plans that cover infrastructure licenses by default. Head to our pricing page for more information.
