<h3>External Service</h3>
This plugin connects to VIGIL API located at wpvigil.com and other related (sub)domain(s) to perform the security scan and generate reports. This is required to perform the task of confirming the outdated components of the site and to find out security vulnerabilities of the installed components being used on the site.
For each scan, it sends, installed components, versions, settings, configurations, preferences, and other data of the site.
