PatchScout

To help be a good online neighbour and make the online world more secure, we scan WordPress websites and notify their owners for free when the website is vulnerable and at risk.

We follow these conditions:

1. Your website is outdated right now (scans will be at most 1 day old).
2. Your outdated version has at least one published vulnerability, publicly available for the world to see.
3. Your vulnerable website is publicly accessible for anyone online.
4. You will only be notified once of the incident. We’re not here to spam.

Your website is currently at risk because it’s running a WordPress version with several known vulnerabilities. We specialize in identifying outdated and vulnerable websites across Belgium, checking and cross-referencing version details and known issues to help businesses like yours stay informed and secure. A vulnerable site can lead to stolen customer data, defaced pages, or costly downtime—threats that harm your reputation and bottom line.

You can confirm this yourself in two quick steps:

1. Check your WordPress version: Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard, and find the version number in the footer, or in the “At a Glance” section.
2. Look up known vulnerabilities: Use vulnerability databases like PatchStack or WPScan to cross-reference and check the known risks for your version.

We’ve tested 1,590 WordPress websites so far, of which 420 were at risk and 120 critically vulnerable. 36 of them were secured after we reached out, so far.

1. Install Security ASAP: As long as you haven’t fully solved the issue by updating everything, reduce the risk by installing plugins like Wordfence that (only partially!) prevent some attacks.
2. Fix It Yourself, With Our Advice: You can book a free advice session, no strings attached, and we’ll guide you through the next steps to secure your website.
3. Let Us Handle It for You: Schedule a call with us to see how we can best update and protect your site for you.
