Website security that actually fixes things.

MontyGuard finds vulnerabilities, tests fixes in a safe environment, and keeps your WordPress sites secure without disrupting your business.

The MontyGuard approvals screen. A change for the BrightSmile Dental site is waiting for a decision: upgrade PHP 7.4 to 8.3, update a contact-form plugin to fix a security hole, and repair old code. All 10 checks passed on an isolated copy of the site, and the live site has not been changed yet. Buttons to reject, or approve and deploy.

What it does

The maintenance everyone puts off. Handled.

Plugin updates and PHP upgrades are easy to put off when they risk breaking a working site. MontyGuard finds the problems, tests the fixes, and keeps your WordPress sites up to date.

  • Finds what needs fixing

    Checks your plugins for known vulnerabilities and flags outdated software before it becomes a bigger problem.

  • Fixes, not just alerts

    MontyGuard prepares and tests fixes on a private copy of your site before deploying changes to production.

  • Undo in one click

    Every update has a recovery plan. Backups and verified rollback procedures help prevent prolonged outages.

  • AI for complex fixes

    Not every problem has an update button. MontyGuard uses AI to solve the hardest problems, like legacy code and PHP upgrades.

How it works

From problem found to problem fixed.

Whether it's a routine plugin update or a complicated PHP upgrade, MontyGuard handles the process from start to finish. Every fix is tested before deployment and verified afterward.

  1. Monitor

    MontyGuard checks your plugins for vulnerabilities, watches for issues like outdated PHP, and flags anything that needs attention.

  2. Fix

    It applies trusted updates where available, and uses AI to write targeted fixes for the harder problems.

  3. Test

    Changes are tested on a private copy of your site to catch problems before they reach your visitors.

  4. Deploy

    Verified fixes are rolled out during your chosen window, with live checks and a recovery plan if something goes wrong.

  5. Report

    Get a clear summary of what was fixed, what changed, and how it was tested. Ready to share with your clients.

For agencies

Built for agencies and the businesses they serve

MontyGuard works behind your agency. Your clients see your name, and your team decides what ships.

  • One dashboard for every client site

    PHP versions, open issues, changes waiting for approval and recent activity, across all your sites.

  • Your team stays in control

    Owner, operator, approver and viewer roles, so an account manager can approve a change without touching site settings.

  • Keep the client relationship

    Reports carry your agency's name, so your clients keep hearing from you.

A client report headed with the agency's name, Northwind Web Studio, and a small Maintained by MontyGuard credit. It says an update is ready and waiting for approval, then lists what was found (an end-of-life PHP version and a cross-site scripting hole in a contact-form plugin) and what was done.

FAQ

Questions people ask first

Which hosts do you support?

We support any WordPress host we can reach over SSH. Today that includes GoDaddy Managed WordPress (Deluxe plan or higher), and support for more hosts is on the way. If your host doesn't offer SSH, we can still monitor your site's uptime and key pages.

How is this different from turning on auto-updates?

Auto-updates install whatever is newest and hope nothing breaks. MontyGuard checks each update against your actual site first, handles the cases auto-updates can't, like plugins with no fix or code that breaks on a newer PHP, and tells you exactly what changed.

Can I use it for my clients' sites?

Yes, that's what it's built for. Manage every client site from one dashboard, give your team the right level of access, and send reports under your agency's name.

Will AI change my site on its own?

No. AI is one of several ways MontyGuard writes a fix, and it only ever works on a copy of the code with passwords and keys removed. An AI-written change has to pass the same tests and be approved by an evaluator before it can go live.
