WordPress Security Services India
A WordPress security service audits plugins, themes and admin accounts, cleans malware, hardens wp-config.php and logins, then keeps WordPress patched. WebJi® charges ₹4,200 a year for the audit with cleanup and ₹5,900 for done-for-you updates, both before 18% GST. It suits WordPress sites with stale plugins, payments or a past hack.
For WordPress owners and agencies who need plugins, logins and wp-config locked down, not just a security plugin installed.

What is a WordPress security service?
A WordPress security service audits a WordPress install, removes malware if it is infected, hardens WordPress's own settings and then keeps core, plugins and themes patched. It is not the same as installing a security plugin. A scanner can report that a theme file changed, but it cannot replace an abandoned plugin, move wp-config.php or close the login path an attacker used.
This service is WordPress-specific. Firewall rules, SSL checks and blacklist work that apply to any website sit under the broader website security services, which WordPress clients often take alongside it.
What the WordPress security audit checks
The audit inspects six WordPress-specific areas, and each finding comes with the fix that closes it. None of these can be fully reviewed from the WordPress dashboard alone, because several live in files and server settings the dashboard does not show.
| Area | What is checked | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Plugins and themes | Versions against known vulnerability lists; abandoned plugins with no future patch | Update, replace or remove |
| Administrator accounts | Unused admins, reused or weak passwords, no two-factor login | Delete extras, reset passwords, enable 2FA |
| wp-config.php and permissions | File location, writable files and folders | Move above web root where possible; tighten permissions |
| Login surface | XML-RPC, rate limiting on wp-login.php, the “admin” username, directory listing | Disable or restrict each one |
| Secret keys and salts | Whether keys were rotated after any past incident | Regenerate, forcing every session to log in again |
| Security headers | Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, HSTS | Set at server level, not only by plugin |
How much do WordPress security services cost in India?
WebJi® publishes two yearly WordPress security prices before 18% GST: ₹4,200 for the audit with malware cleanup, and ₹5,900 for done-for-you updates with hardening. Taking both comes to ₹10,100 a year before GST (₹4,200 + ₹5,900). A multisite network, a large WooCommerce store or a weekend emergency is quoted by email, and you see the figure before work starts.

WordPress hardening settings applied after the audit
Hardening changes WordPress defaults that attackers rely on, using settings documented by WordPress itself. Two of the most useful are lines in wp-config.php that switch off the built-in file editor and force HTTPS on the admin area.
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );
define( 'FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true );- File permissions: files at 644 and folders at 755, with wp-config.php tightened to 440 or 400 where the server allows.
- XML-RPC: disabled unless the Jetpack plugin or the WordPress mobile app needs it.
- Login limits: repeated failed logins on wp-login.php are throttled.
- Two-factor login: turned on for every administrator account.
- Theme and plugin editor: removed from the dashboard by the line above, so a stolen admin password cannot rewrite PHP files.
The disable XML-RPC guide and limit login attempts guide show these steps for site owners doing them by hand.
How a hacked WordPress site is cleaned, step by step
A WordPress cleanup runs in six steps, starting with a backup and ending only when the scan, the redirects and Search Console are all clear. An audit takes one to three business days once access is in place; cleanup adds two to five business days for a typical infection.
- Email the URL and the symptom — redirects, spam pages or a Google warning — with how to reach the hosting panel. Leave passwords out of the first email.
- Take a full backup of files and database and confirm it restores.
- List every plugin and theme with its version, every administrator, and every file changed in the last 30 days.
- Remove injected code and backdoors, including mu-plugins and wp_options rows that load remote scripts; reset admin passwords, salts and API keys.
- Update or remove the vulnerable plugin that let the attacker in, and turn on two-factor login.
- Re-scan and load the site in a private window; it is clean when nothing is reported, redirects have stopped and Search Console shows no security issue.
Then watch for 30 days: reinfection usually appears as a new PHP file in uploads, a new administrator or a scheduled task nobody created. The hacked WordPress recovery guide and the WordPress security checklist list the checks to repeat.
Who needs a WordPress security service, and when is a plugin enough?
The service is worth paying for when plugins have gone unpatched, the site takes payments, or it has been cleaned once and the entry point was never found. A brand-new install with two plugins and an owner who updates weekly rarely needs it.
- If the site already runs Wordfence or Sucuri, then the audit still adds value, because a plugin cannot patch a theme file or set server-level headers.
- If an agency inherited a WordPress build, then an audit and hardening pass establishes what is safe before the agency takes responsibility.
- If a maintenance retainer already patches and scans monthly, then the DFY plan would duplicate it.
- If you also need faster pages, then WordPress speed optimisation is a separate service.
The work is done by the WebJi® team that already answers hosting tickets, from Jaipur, so there is no handover to an outside agency.
Frequently asked questions
Should I disable XML-RPC on my WordPress site?
Usually yes. XML-RPC is a common target for password-guessing attacks. Keep it only if the Jetpack plugin, the WordPress mobile app or another remote publishing tool depends on it, and in that case restrict it rather than leaving it fully open.
Why are WordPress salts reset after a hack?
The salts and secret keys in wp-config.php sign every login cookie. Regenerating them logs everyone out at once, including an attacker holding a stolen session, so changing passwords alone is not enough after an incident.
Does the DFY plan cover WooCommerce extensions?
Scheduled updates cover WordPress core, plugins and themes, which includes WooCommerce and its extensions on a normal store. A large store with a heavily altered database, or a multisite network, is quoted separately by email before payment.
Do I have to host with WebJi® to buy this service?
No. Audit, cleanup and updates run on your current host. If you choose to move, WordPress hosting at WebJi® includes free Let's Encrypt SSL and server-level caching, and migration is free subject to terms and approval.
Can any provider promise my WordPress site will never be hacked?
No honest provider can. The service shrinks the attack surface with patched code, hardened logins and tight file permissions, and it spots changes early. A site storing customer data still needs backups and a plan for what to do if a breach happens.
