The MainWP Jetpack Scan Extension is a premium add-on for the MainWP Dashboard that centralizes the monitoring and management of your websites' security using Jetpack Scan (a premium security service from Automattic, the creators of Jetpack and WordPress.com).
It's designed for agencies and developers who need to monitor the security status of many client sites from a single dashboard.
The extension acts as a remote control and reporting hub for the Jetpack Scan service on your connected Child sites:
Vulnerability Overview Widget: Provides a concise summary of scan results directly on your MainWP Overview page, showing the security status of all connected sites at a glance.
Detailed Vulnerability Reports: Displays in-depth information about vulnerabilities found in WordPress core, plugins, and themes on each Child site. This information is sourced from the comprehensive WPScan vulnerability database.
One-Click Fixes: The extension offers quick, one-click fixes for most detected vulnerabilities (requires appropriate server credentials like SSH/SFTP for fixes to be applied).
On-Demand Scanning: While Jetpack Scan typically performs automated daily scans, the MainWP extension allows you to initiate an on-demand scan for all or selected Child Sites whenever you need immediate results.
Security History Tracking: A dedicated History tab allows you to track past threats that have been resolved or ignored, ensuring you maintain a complete security audit trail.
Centralized API Management: You manage the connection to the Jetpack Scan API directly within the extension, simplifying the process of linking your multiple Child sites to your subscription.
The MainWP Jetpack Scan Extension requires two components that may involve a fee:
MainWP Pro Subscription: The Jetpack Scan Extension is a premium add-on included in the MainWP Pro plan.
Jetpack Scan Subscription: The extension is only an interface. You must have an active Jetpack Scan subscription (a paid service from Jetpack) to utilize the scanning and fixing capabilities.
Note on Discount: MainWP often offers an exclusive discount or coupon for MainWP users to obtain a Jetpack Scan subscription, which can be claimed through the extension interface.
This extension is specifically for users who prefer the security engine and reliability of the Jetpack Scan service but want the efficiency of managing all their security checks from the MainWP centralized dashboard.
Do you have an active Jetpack Scan subscription, or are you interested in a free MainWP security extension like Jetpack Protect (which is vulnerability scanning only)?
