shadowscan

ShadowScan Security Link gives you ShadowScan Guard local WordPress hardening for plugin auto-updates, username enumeration reduction, version/plugin exposure reduction, sensitive-file blocking, and basic connection/self-check diagnostics.
The plugin supports dual backend pairing with both Guard and ShadowScan. Pair with Guard backend for Guard-specific features, or connect to ShadowScan Portal to sync heartbeat status and unlock managed features for sites with an active Essential or Premium plan, or an approved reviewed pricing path. Basic Hosting can stay hosting-only, while ShadowScan Guard local hardening remains available in the plugin until managed entitlements are active.
Pairing the plugin and enabling remote diagnostics each require an explicit administrator acknowledgment in WP Admin. Those checkpoints are covered by the <a href="https://shadowscan.com.au/plugin-addendum" rel="nofollow ugc">ShadowScan Plugin Addendum</a>.
ShadowScan does not install, activate, or configure third-party security tools. If another security plugin is present, the connector only records its presence as metadata.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin can connect to external services to sync status, process security workflows, and support optional diagnostics after an admin pairs the site to ShadowScan.

🕵️ Advanced Referrer Policy

Block unauthorized access to sensitive browser features like camera, microphone, geolocation, and payment APIs – preventing malicious sites from accessing these features.
🍪 Secure Cookie Protection 
Automatically applies HttpOnly and Secure flags to session cookies, preventing JavaScript access and ensuring cookies are only sent over HTTPS.

Removes server signatures and version information that hackers use to identify vulnerabilities in your hosting setup.
