PRBLEM Security Guard

PRBLEM Security Guard brings threat detection, file integrity monitoring, malware and webshell scanning, firewall protection, upload inspection, persistence detection, incident intelligence and recovery tooling into a single WordPress security workspace. Instead of treating every scanner match as proof of compromise, Security Guard focuses on evidence, context and controlled response. Findings are organized into actionable incidents, potentially destructive operations remain explicit, and recovery capabilities are kept close to the investigation workflow. The plugin also protects administrator access with RFC 6238-compatible TOTP two-factor authentication and single-use recovery codes, while scheduled Quick and Deep scans allow routine security checks to continue automatically. PRBLEM Security Guard 4.0 is currently in public beta. The goal of the beta series is stability, lower false-positive rates, compatibility and predictable recovery behavior before the final 4.0 release.

Safety boundary

What this tool never does

  • PRBLEM Security Guard is designed to protect WordPress without pretending that automated security is infallible.
  • It does not guarantee that a website can never be compromised.
  • It does not silently delete suspected files merely because a scanner produces a match.
  • Destructive recovery operations are intentionally separated from ordinary detection workflows and use explicit operator actions.
  • The plugin does not upload TOTP secrets to third-party QR-code generators.
  • It does not replace secure hosting, backups, WordPress updates, strong administrator credentials or professional incident response when a serious compromise occurs.
  • Beta releases should be tested with a current site backup before being deployed to critical production environments.

Privacy

  • PRBLEM Security Guard is designed around local-first security analysis.
  • Security scans, file inspection, integrity checks, incident analysis and protection decisions are performed on your WordPress installation.
  • TOTP secrets are not sent to external QR-code services. QR enrollment data is generated locally, and enrolled TOTP secrets are protected using authenticated encryption when supported by the server.
  • The plugin does not require a PRBLEM Cloud account for its core security engines.
  • Normal WordPress, hosting provider, email, CDN or other third-party network activity may still occur depending on your site's own configuration and enabled integrations.
