Great security plugin, but the White Label needs a little more work for agencies
I've been using WP Security Ninja with the White Label package, and overall I really like the product. The security features are strong, and I think the White Label option has a lot of potential for agencies and freelancers providing WordPress security, maintenance and optimisation services.
However, there are a few areas where I think the White Label experience could be improved.
1. Clients can still see areas of the plugin that should be hidden
Even with White Label enabled, I've found that clients can still access certain settings/areas of the plugin instal page. For example, they can see things such as the add ons and Plans, and if they click through certain areas they can end up on an error page.
For a truly white labelled client experience, I'd like the ability to completely control which sections are visible to clients and remove anything related to the original vendor, plans or licensing.
2. Licence information needs better agency control
Another big one for me is the licence key.
At the moment, my client can see my licence key/identifier. When I'm providing a security service under my own brand, I don't really want the client seeing my master licence information.
I'd love to see something like:
* Client-specific licence IDs or sub-licences
* The ability to display a custom licence/reference number to the client
* The ability to manage or revoke individual client licences
* More control over what licence information the client can see
* The ability to customise licence-related settings after White Label is enabled
This would make the product much more suitable for agencies that want to package security as part of their own service.
3. Custom support links/pages would be a great addition
I'd also really like the ability to add my own support links inside the plugin.
Not every agency is building websites from scratch. In my case, I may be providing WordPress maintenance, security and site-speed optimisation rather than full website development.
It would be great to have a section where I could have The ability to create a completely custom Support page within the white labelled plugin.
That would turn WP Security Ninja from simply being a white-labelled security plugin into something that feels like a genuine part of an agency's service platform.
Overall
I really like WP Security Ninja and I'm glad I picked up the White Label package. The underlying security product is strong, and I think the developers have built something with a lot of potential for agencies.
For me, the biggest opportunity is taking the White Label feature one step further and giving agencies more control over the client facing experience.
If they added proper client licence/sub-licence management, better control over what clients can see, and custom support links/pages, I'd consider this a much more complete agency solution.
Great product with a lot of potential. I'd happily give it 5 stars once the White Label experience becomes a little more flexible and agency-focused.
But over a solid security plugin to have on my side

Sep 2, 2026Hey Mark
Thanks for writing this up, and for grabbing White Label. Four tacos is fair on what you ran into.
White Label is supposed to feel like your product, not mine with a sticker on it. Clients still seeing Add-ons, Plans, and error pages is not the agency setup I want either.
A full sub-licence system (client IDs, revoke per site) is a technical limitation on our side, so I cannot promise...

My WP host and Malcare flagged this as a vulnerable plugin
I found the plugin didn't do much anyway. Missed attacks with no alerts. I found out site was hacked over and over the hard way (site down, cloaked pages). I'd skip this one. And, it just may be part of the problem.

Aug 25, 2026Hi, sorry this was a frustrating experience.
Host scanners and MalCare often flag Security Ninja because our vulnerability database includes public CVE text, so phrases like wp-config.php show up in those files. That is a false positive, not malware in the plugin. From version 5.294 we store that database compressed so those scanners stop tripping on it. If you are on an older build, please...

Fast, responsive developer
Bought this for ongoing WordPress security audits across client sites, and it's held up well beyond the checklist-scanning basics. What really impressed me was reporting a couple of false positives and a confusing auto-fixer bug directly to the developer. They responded within less than 24 hours, and the fixes shipped in the very next update.
As someone who isn't a security specialist by trade, having a tool that's both genuinely useful for surfacing real issues, AND backed by a developer who's actively maintaining and improving it based on real user reports, made a big difference in how much I trust it now. Good value, and even better support behind it!

Aug 25, 2026Thanks werner89. Glad the audits are holding up on client sites, and that the false-positive and auto-fixer fixes landed quickly. Reports like yours make a real difference. Happy to dig in if anything else comes up.

Works well as a base security plugin
WP Security Ninja stands out with a balanced and clear mix of features. It works well as an all-in-one solution but remains simple enough to combine with tools like Patchstack without feeling overwhelming. I haven’t seen that with any other plugin.

Aug 3, 2026Thank you for the thoughtful review! You’ve described exactly what we aim for with WP Security Ninja: a strong, practical security foundation without unnecessary complexity.
It’s also great to hear that it works well alongside a specialized service like Patchstack. WordPress security is rarely one-size-fits-all, and we want users to have the flexibility to combine tools where it makes...
