*Every core feature is included in WP Umbrella's monthly price of €1.99 per site. Capabilities marked "Security add-on" are part of an optional add-on at 2€/$2 per site per month.
Every plan includes vulnerability monitoring checked against the Patchstack database every 6 hours, security hardening toggles, and Site Health checks. For sites that need active protection, the Security add-on (2€/site/month) adds a firewall with virtual patching, a network-learned malicious-IP blocklist, attack detections with evidence, and daily malware scanning, the same ground Defender covers, without a plugin weighing down the site.
