Enterprise WordPress
Security Retainer
Monthly WordPress security retainers for UK businesses that need continuous monitoring, clearer escalation, and a stronger response posture without hiring in-house.
Why retainers matter more now
Patchstack’s latest WordPress ecosystem review found 7,966 vulnerabilities in 2024, with 96% in plugins. That volume makes ad hoc updates and occasional checks a weak operating model for UK businesses. A retainer gives you prioritisation, faster patch decisions, and a named response path when the next disclosure cycle hits. Read our UK business take on the 2025 WordPress security data.
A WordPress security retainer is an ongoing protection engagement for your WordPress environment. Unlike a one-off cleanup, a retainer gives your business continuous monitoring, regular reviews, and a named escalation path when suspicious activity or a live incident appears. WebAdish retainers are built for UK businesses, agencies, and eCommerce teams that need stronger operational protection without building an in-house security function.
What's Included
Every retainer comes with a comprehensive suite of security services designed to keep your WordPress estate protected.
Named Security Contact
A named point of contact who understands your WordPress environment and can coordinate response with context rather than starting from scratch each time.
24/7 Security Monitoring
Round-the-clock monitoring of your WordPress installations for intrusion attempts, file changes, brute-force attacks, and anomalous activity.
Priority Incident Escalation
Defined response expectations for suspicious behaviour, urgent patching, and live incidents, with stronger response on higher tiers.
Monthly Reporting
Clear summaries covering threats reviewed, updates completed, backlog items, and recommended risk-reduction actions.
GDPR-Aware Guidance
Where relevant, we flag breach-notification readiness, access control gaps, and data-handling concerns that affect UK GDPR exposure.
Priority Support
Skip the standard queue for urgent security questions, suspicious behaviour, and small security-focused changes.

Who This Is For
Our retainers are designed for decision-makers who need reliable, ongoing WordPress security.
CTOs & IT Directors
You need assurance that your WordPress infrastructure is continuously monitored and protected without managing a dedicated security hire. Our retainer gives you enterprise-grade coverage with clear SLAs you can report on.
Agency Owners
You manage WordPress sites for multiple clients and need a reliable security partner. Our white-label retainer lets you offer premium security services under your own brand, generating recurring revenue.
E-Commerce Directors
Your WooCommerce store generates significant revenue and any downtime is costly. You need PCI-aligned security, continuous monitoring, and guaranteed rapid response when threats emerge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the onboarding process look like?
Onboarding takes approximately one week. We conduct an initial security audit of your WordPress environment, establish monitoring baselines, configure alerting, and set up your dedicated communication channel. You receive a full onboarding document and meet your assigned security analyst.
What SLA response times do you offer?
Our Professional tier guarantees a 4-hour response for critical incidents and 8 hours for high-severity issues. The Enterprise tier provides a 1-hour critical response time with 24/7 coverage including weekends and bank holidays.
Can we white-label your service for our agency clients?
Yes. We work with several UK agencies under full white-label arrangements. Reports are branded with your logo, communications go through your channels, and your clients never see our name. White-label is included in the Enterprise tier and available as an add-on for Professional.
How does the quarterly penetration testing work?
Each quarter, our team conducts a structured penetration test against your WordPress environment simulating real-world attack scenarios. You receive a detailed findings report with risk scores and remediation guidance. Any critical findings are escalated immediately.
What reporting do we receive?
Professional tier clients receive weekly security digests and a monthly executive summary. Enterprise tier clients get all of the above plus real-time dashboards, quarterly board-ready presentations, and custom reporting on any metric you require.
What happens if we want to cancel?
Both tiers operate on a rolling monthly contract with a 30-day notice period. There are no long-term lock-in commitments. Upon cancellation, we provide a full handover document and ensure a smooth transition.
How many sites can we include in a single retainer?
The Professional tier covers up to 5 WordPress installations. The Enterprise tier covers up to 15 installations. Additional sites can be added for a per-site fee. All sites are covered by the same SLA.
Do you handle compliance requirements like GDPR or PCI DSS?
Our security measures are designed with UK compliance in mind. We help you meet GDPR security obligations for WordPress, and for WooCommerce sites we align with PCI DSS requirements. Formal compliance auditing is available as an add-on service.
