WP Engine & ThreatView

WP Engine delivers blazing speed, reliable uptime, and scalable infrastructure specifically tailored for WordPress. With automated updates, advanced caching, and built-in staging environments, it's truly focused on making a website manager's life easier.

But even the best hosting can't fully stop malware, payment skimming attacks, or third-party script vulnerabilities from affecting your live website.

That's where a specialist solution like ThreatView Advanced steps in.

ThreatView Advanced works alongside WP Engine to protect your site at the application level - continuously monitoring for advanced threats, expertly detecting injected code and malicious scripts, and giving you real-time visibility into your website's security posture and key PCI DSS compliance controls status.

Understanding the Complete Security Picture

WP Engine diligently secures the hosting environment - handling PHP updates, server-side caching, SSL, and performance optimization. However, your live website is still directly exposed to:

  • Payment skimming attacks targeting checkout processes
  • Malicious script injections from compromised themes and plugins
  • Advanced malware designed to evade traditional security tools
  • Credential theft through sophisticated phishing and exploit vectors
  • Third-party vulnerabilities in integrated applications and APIs

These are website-level concerns, distinct from infrastructure security.

It's not a matter of overlap - it's a matter of completeness for your security posture.

ThreatView Advanced Protection

Forensic-Level Threat Detection: Our advanced monitoring system, built on 20+ years of PCI forensic investigation expertise, continuously monitors your website for malware, injected code, payment skimmers, and malicious scripts - detecting threats that traditional security solutions/scanners miss, providing you with the visibility of a forensic investigation running 24/7.

Real-Time Checkout Monitoring: For eCommerce sites, we provide live checkout monitoring -  monitoring all scripts being launched during the Checkout process and detecting payment skimming attacks before they can compromise customer data, protecting both your business and your customers' trust.

Automated PCI DSS Compliance: Meet PCI requirements 5.2, 6.4.3, 11.5.2 automatically (support for PCI Req 3 and 11.6.1) - no security expertise required. ThreatView enables you to meet these requirements "out of the box", with PCI audit-ready at all times.

Continuous Monitoring & Real-Time Alerts: Stay fully informed with live threat detection alerts, detailed forensic visibility, and comprehensive security intelligence - all accessible from an intuitive dashboard designed for both technical teams and business owners.

Performance Intelligence: Unlike security tools that slow sites down, ThreatView integrates seamlessly with WP Engine's performance infrastructure, providing security monitoring without compromising speed - keeping your WordPress site both fast and protected.

Peace of Mind - complementing the security monitoring, ThreatView Advanced Edition comes with a Breach Protection Warranty giving you peace of mind over your eCommerce store's security.

Why Both Solutions Matter

WP Engine gives your WordPress site a solid, scalable foundation. ThreatView Advanced makes that foundation truly secure - even when vulnerabilities live within plugins, themes, checkout systems, or critical third-party integrations.

ThreatView is a specialist eCommerce security solution and complements WP Engine hosting.
