SiteFort documentation
SiteFort Dashboard
Read your site's security posture at a glance. The Dashboard surfaces active threats, scan status, firewall coverage, and what needs attention next.
Dashboard and Security Overview
The SiteFort Dashboard is titled Security Overview. Treat it as your daily command center: it tells you whether the site is protected, what requires attention, and where to go next. The Dashboard links directly to Scanner, Hardening, Firewall, Login Security, Settings, and the Setup Wizard. Use Refresh after making changes in another tab or after completing a scan.How to Read the Health Cards
| Card | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Website health | A high-level posture label. Context can include immediate remediation, priority remediation, baseline refinement, minor hardening opportunities, or aligned controls. | Use this card to decide whether the site needs immediate action or routine review. |
| Malware coverage | Shows Infected, Clean, or No Baseline. It can also show a detected malware file count. | If No Baseline appears, run a Standard Scan. If Infected appears, open Scanner and review every finding before deleting files. |
| Known vulnerabilities | Shows active vulnerability count or Secure. Severity context appears when issues exist. | Patch or remove Critical and High affected assets before routine low-risk updates. |
| Blocked requests | Shows firewall block volume in the last 90 days. | Open Traffic Log if the number spikes, legitimate visitors report blocks, or you need evidence for an incident report. |
Action Center
Action Center translates posture into tasks. When no action items exist, it shows All clear and confirms that security controls are configured.| Action item | Meaning | Recommended response |
|---|---|---|
| Firewall protection is disabled | SiteFort is not filtering incoming traffic. | Open Firewall, verify IP Detection, add Trusted IPs, then enable the firewall. |
| Login security controls are inactive | Authentication endpoints are not protected by rate limiting or lockouts. | Open Login Security and enable Limit Login Attempts. Add CAPTCHA when bot attempts are frequent. |
| Scanner findings require review | Unresolved scan findings remain active. | Open Scanner, filter by Critical and High, review file paths and diffs, then repair, delete, ignore, or mark fixed based on evidence. |
| Active vulnerabilities detected | Known CVEs were found in installed assets. | Open Vulnerability Scanner. Update affected plugins, themes, or core — or remove abandoned components. |
| Server-level firewall conflict or inactive state | Pre-WordPress filtering is not active or another integration is blocking it. | Open Firewall Advanced, check Server-Level WAF status, and use manual rules or hosting support if server configuration is managed externally. |
