Security options for WordPress sites
Jetpack provides paid security options for WordPress websites through the Security bundle and VaultPress Backup. These options are designed to help site owners back up their websites, respond to security issues, and manage essential protection from a connected WordPress workflow.
The Security bundle brings together Jetpack’s security features, while VaultPress Backup focuses on automatic backups and restoration. The available tools are useful for business sites, content publishers, and WooCommerce stores that need a practical way to preserve site data and respond when changes or problems occur.
Backups, restores, and site management
Jetpack can back up a site automatically in real time and restore it to any point with one click. Cloud storage starts at 10GB, with additional storage options available if needed. This creates a straightforward workflow for protecting ongoing changes and returning a site to an earlier state when a problem affects the website.
- Real-time automatic backups
- One-click restores to an earlier point
- Full database backups
- Website migration to a new host
- Theme and plugin migration to a new database
- Website duplication and cloning
- Restoration of older backups to help repair a broken website
- Duplicate sites for test environments
The activity log records site changes and who made them. This can help with coordination, debugging, maintenance, and troubleshooting when several people work on the same WordPress site.
Scanning and firewall protection
Jetpack Security includes malware scans and security scans for other code threats. When malware is found, the service provides a one-click fix to restore the site. Its web application firewall examines incoming traffic and lets you decide whether to allow or block it based on various rules.
These features are suited to sites that need ongoing monitoring rather than occasional manual checks. The firewall adds a layer of protection when attackers are actively exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities, while automated scans help identify code-related threats.
Login, spam, and availability controls
The security tools include brute force attack protection for the WordPress login page and optional two-factor authentication for the WordPress.com-powered login. Jetpack also monitors site uptime and downtime and sends an instant email alert when a change is detected.
Spam protection powered by Akismet blocks spam comments and form responses. It supports Jetpack forms and integrations including Contact Form 7, Ninja Forms, Gravity Forms, and Formidable Forms.
Choosing and installing the paid option
You can purchase the security features together in the Security bundle, or choose VaultPress Backup for backup-focused protection. Scan and Akismet Anti-spam can also be purchased individually. To get started, install Jetpack on your WordPress site, connect it, and complete the setup. Then select the paid option that matches your needs and configure backups, scans, firewall rules, alerts, and restoration preferences.
