Our Security Plugin Development Process

Security Requirements Analysis

We document your specific security needs: authentication requirements, access control rules, audit logging specifications, compliance requirements, and integration points with existing security infrastructure.

Secure Architecture Design

We design the plugin's security architecture with proper cryptographic key management, secure token handling, database isolation for sensitive data, and defense-in-depth principles that minimize the impact of any single failure.

Development with Security Testing

We build the plugin following OWASP secure coding practices, with security testing at every stage. We test for common vulnerabilities including injection attacks, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and data exposure.

Security Audit and Deployment

Before deployment, the plugin undergoes a thorough security review. We verify all data handling paths, test edge cases, confirm that failure modes are secure, and deploy with monitoring to detect any issues in production.

Key Benefits

Enhanced Site Security

Custom security plugins address your specific threat profile. Whether you need advanced authentication, content encryption, or compliance-specific logging, we build security tools that match your actual requirements instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.

Custom Access Controls

We build role-based and attribute-based access control systems that restrict content, functionality, and data based on your specific business rules: department, subscription tier, geographic location, approval status, or any custom criteria.

Comprehensive Audit Logging

Every security-relevant action is logged: login attempts, permission changes, content modifications, file uploads, and configuration changes. Logs are tamper-resistant and can be exported for compliance reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why not just use Wordfence or Sucuri?

Wordfence and Sucuri are excellent general-purpose security plugins and we often recommend them as a foundation. Custom security plugins address specific needs these general tools do not cover: SSO integration with your company's identity provider, compliance-specific audit logging, custom content access controls, and security workflows unique to your organization.

Can you integrate WordPress with our company SSO?

Yes. We build WordPress authentication integrations with SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, LDAP, and Active Directory. Your team can log into WordPress using the same credentials they use for other company systems, with all the security policies your IT team has configured.

Do you build plugins for compliance requirements?

Yes. We build security plugins that address specific compliance requirements including GDPR data handling and consent management, HIPAA audit logging and access controls, SOC 2 activity monitoring, and PCI DSS security measures. Each plugin is designed to meet the specific requirements of your applicable regulations.

How do you ensure the security plugin itself is secure?

We follow OWASP secure coding practices, use established cryptographic libraries rather than custom implementations, implement proper input validation on every data entry point, use prepared statements for all database queries, and conduct thorough security testing before deployment. Security plugins demand the highest code quality standards.
