Web Security & Monitoring
DarkWatch Monitor watches every site we maintain. DarkWatch Shield, our security plugin, adds file-integrity checks and login hardening, and Patchstack adds virtual patching.
Monitoring, hardening and recovery
DarkWatch Monitor
Our monitoring dashboard. Every site we maintain is connected to it, whether or not DarkWatch Shield is installed on the site.
DarkWatch Shield
Our WordPress security plugin: file-integrity monitoring, change detection, login hardening and two-factor authentication. Installed on the sites where we add it, and every Shield site is also connected to Monitor.
Login hardening
Custom authentication endpoints off standard /wp-admin, mandatory 2FA and brute-force protection.
Vulnerability monitoring
Patchstack integration for virtual patching of core, theme and plugin vulnerabilities.
Disaster recovery
Duplicator backups, clean malware restorations and server-side environment diagnosis.
An example of what DarkWatch Shield watches.
DarkWatch Shield checks every core, theme and plugin file for unexpected change and hardens logins. This panel is an example, not a live feed.
Example only. The real dashboard is private to NSDigital.
