Guardian Gaze is built by RedSecLabs, a London-based cybersecurity firm, and covers two related but separately-sold products. The WordPress plugin scans a site's files and database for malware, running the heavy analysis on GuardianGaze's own infrastructure rather than inside the WordPress process, so malware that has already compromised a site cannot disable the scanner. It combines signature/heuristic matching, file-integrity checks against WordPress.org checksums, database deserialization to catch payloads hidden in tables like wp_options and wp_posts, and an LLM-based layer that reasons about code intent to catch polymorphic or obfuscated backdoors that signature scanners miss.

GuardianGaze Enterprise is a separate, unrelated-by-billing product: external attack surface management that rates any company from its public footprint alone, with no access or cooperation required from the company being assessed. It scores six modules (brand, domain, application, network, cloud, compliance) into a single 0-100 rating, maps findings to 12 compliance frameworks and MITRE ATT&CK, and includes brand/typosquat takedown handling.

The plugin's free tier is a permanent, full scanner with no account required; Basic adds hardening and login security (2FA, brute-force lockout); Pro adds the AI/LLM detection layer, the web application firewall, virtual patching and one-click removal for $99/year. An Agency tier adds multi-site fleet management and white-label client reporting. Enterprise pricing is quoted per portfolio rather than per seat, with the first rating on an owned domain offered free.

Key Features

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Free plugin tier is a permanent, full scanner, not a limited trial
  • Server-side scanning can't be disabled by malware that has already compromised the site
  • LLM-based detection catches polymorphic/obfuscated backdoors signature scanners miss
  • Enterprise product needs no access or cooperation from the company being rated

Cons

  • AI detection, firewall and removal are gated behind the paid Pro tier
  • Agency and Enterprise pricing are not publicly listed and require contacting sales
  • Enterprise and the WordPress plugin are billed and sold separately, with no bundle

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GuardianGaze WordPress plugin free?

Yes -- the core malware and database scanner is free forever on one site, with no account required.

How much does GuardianGaze Pro cost?

$99 per site per year (about $8.25/month), which adds AI-assisted detection, a web application firewall and one-click removal.

What does GuardianGaze Enterprise cost?

Enterprise attack surface management starts from roughly £1,200/month as a floor, quoted against your portfolio size and modules needed. The first rating, on your own company, is free.

Can I cancel a paid plugin plan?

Yes, anytime -- the plan runs to the end of the paid year and doesn't auto-renew, and scan history stays visible on the free tier.
