Scan Flow

What you send and what you get back

01
Lite scan is public by default
The free Lite Scan is read-only triage for high-risk WordPress paths, core integrity signals, suspicious PHP patterns, and optional FTP log analysis.
02
Paid paths are separate
Paid Full Scan broadens inspection. Paid Cleanup or Expert Help supports remediation after findings are confirmed.
03
Receive a bearer report link
Anyone with the bearer status URL can view the result, so keep it with the incident owner.
Scope

Scan limitations

The free Lite Scan does not clean malware and does not confirm that a WordPress site is clean across its complete environment.

No WordPress database scan, including wp_options content
No rogue admin user or malicious cron hook inspection
No complete plugin/theme integrity coverage
No every-file server traversal in Lite mode
No external blacklist status check
No server process or memory-level compromise analysis

Review findings before deleting files. Cleanup is paid or expert-assisted and should be handled carefully, ideally from a clean backup.

Read-only
No writes on the target.
Encrypted
Credentials are purged after terminal scan states.
Optional context
FTP logs may be stored with the request.

Anonymous Scan Request

SFTP credentials are encrypted for scan execution and purged when the scan completes, fails, is cancelled, or is recovered as stale.

Scan Mode
Lite is free and focused. Full Scan is paid and intended for broader file coverage.

Default

Quick read-only triage for high-risk WordPress files/paths, core integrity signals, suspicious PHP patterns, and optional FTP log analysis.

Paid Full Scan
Paid Plan

Broader inspection for paid plans when focused Lite coverage is not enough.

01
How access works
SiteVault connects to your server over SFTP only for the scan run.
The scan is read-only. SiteVault does not write, edit, or delete files on your server.
Create temporary read-only access where your host allows it, then remove it after the scan.
The SSH host key fingerprint is required so the scanner does not connect to an unexpected server.
Credentials are used for scan execution and then removed after completion, failure, cancellation, or stale scan recovery.
The PDF and result URLs are bearer links. Treat them as sensitive and share them only with the incident owner.

Connection Details
Read-only access to the target root path on a public SFTP host. Only ports 22 and 65002 are allowed.
Use temporary read-only SFTP access for this scan.

Create a one-time SFTP user for the WordPress root when your host allows it, then remove or disable it after the scan.

Scan Context
Optional signals for correlation and anomaly detection.

Enter ISO country codes where your admins normally access SFTP, for example RS, DE.

Optional xferlog-style upload for anomaly correlation. Uploaded log content may be stored with this scan request.
