VMP Security is a WordPress security plugin built to protect self-hosted WordPress sites from hacks, malware, and known vulnerabilities. The free core plugin, distributed on WordPress.org, includes a firewall, malware scanning, two-factor login security, a user dashboard, live traffic updates, a whois lookup tool, diagnostics, and IP/country blocking. The paid Premium plan ($149/year) adds real-time firewall rules and malware signatures (versus the free tier's 30-day-delayed rule updates), a full audit log, priority support, unlimited license activations, and advanced analytics/reporting. VMP Security also runs a Portal product for managing and monitoring multiple connected WordPress sites from one dashboard, publishes a public vulnerability database covering WordPress core, plugins, and themes with CVE tracking, and operates a vulnerability disclosure and bug bounty program for security researchers. The company states its plugin is designed not to slow sites down or affect SEO, and it offers both a public support forum for free users and priority email support (with weekday SLA) for Premium and Portal customers.

Key Features

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Free core plugin with real firewall, malware scanning, and 2FA login security, distributed on WordPress.org
  • Premium tier is affordably priced at $149/year and adds real-time (not delayed) firewall and malware signature updates
  • Public vulnerability database and CVE disclosure/bug bounty program add transparency beyond a typical plugin
  • Portal dashboard lets you manage and monitor multiple connected WordPress sites from a single view

Cons

  • Free tier's firewall rules and malware signatures are delayed by 30 days versus Premium's real-time updates
  • Only one paid plan tier, so there is no mid-tier option between Free and the $149/year Premium plan
  • Limited to WordPress sites — not usable for other CMS or non-WordPress web stacks
