Is iControlWP secure?

Yes! We take great care to ensure the integrity of the connection between iControlWP and your website.

All sensitive data is encrypted on our system so it is never human-readable by anyone.

See the next question for more in-depth explanation.

I want more to know more about iControlWP plugin security?

We take security seriously at iControlWP – prevention is far better than cure and we trust when you see what steps we
take to ensure the integrity of your website you’ll know we taking the biggest steps to secure your site.

  • Each new plugin install creates a unique secure code that you must supply correctly to add the site to your iControlWP account.
  • When iControlWP and your plugin are connected, iControlWP creates a unique PIN code, encrypts with an MD5 hash and stores in
    on your site. ONLY attempts to connect to your plugin that supply this correct PIN code will ever be able succeed.
  • We also take it a step FURTHER – each connection performs a unique hand-shake process (that you wont find in other similar products)
    between iControlWP and your WordPress websites to ensure that no-one else, anywhere, can spoof your WordPress site. The plugin will always
    check to ensure that the connection has originated from iControlWP.com. If not, the connection is disregarded completely and immediately.

Will the iControlWP plugin slow down my site?

Not a chance! We have the absolute SMALLEST plugin (compared to similar products of this type) around.

We install only the absolute necessary code, and when you need more, iControlWP’s unique „Action Pack” delivery
system sends just what your site needs.

How does iControlWP work?

With the plugin installed and the connection setup to your own iControlWP account, the iControlWP system
will periodically ask your WordPress website for some information. Currently we check:

  • WordPress Core update status
  • WordPress.org Plugins update status
  • WordPress.org Themes update status
  • Other server environment information that helps us to determine compatibility with the iControlWP system.
    This includes things like PHP version, HTTP server type and version. You can review all this captured
    information from within iControlWP and is useful as a handy reference.

We then take this information and display it to you on the iControlWP dashboard – then it’s over to you and what you want to do with it.

What is WorpDrive?

WorpDrive is a new, far more clever approach to WordPress backup and restore,
and is a premium product available from with the iControlWP control panel.

It doesn’t use FTP, Amazon S3, or any of the traditional painful approaches to website backup,
and you don’t need to buy/rent any other 3rd party storage service.

WorpDrive is an ALL-IN-ONE backup and restore system for your WordPress website and is a bargain at twice the price.

Is WorpDrive free?

No. WorpDrive is available for a small monthly fee.

Sure, free for 15 days, but there is no free plans for individuals after the trial. This extention is made for companies, not individuals.

I love having all my clients’ websites in one place with all WP & security management settings accessible. This WordPress Site Management system is all around awesome, and their support is better than any I’ve experienced. If I have a problem or a question, they are quick and thorough in responding and seeing any issue resolved.

I still use a lot Shield and will go pro soon. I didn’t begin again to use iControlWP but I will probably in the future. Paul has done a great work with Shield. So I decided to go back to 5 stars here also being sure he is working with the same spirit with iControlWP. ===== old review ===== Unfortunately I have to change my review. I find the Shield & iControlWP pricing over complicated. The solutions themselves become more and more uneasy to use. The UI design could be improved with the „Don’t let me think” way. I hope to have the opportunity to come back to 5 stars in the future. ===== old review ===== I have used Shield and iControlWP during the last six months. These solutions are simple to use, easy to live with and very convenient when you have some or many customers websites to follow. There is a great support and you don’t feel like an anonymous when you exchange emails with Paul. So, happy to recommend Paul and his solutions! 🙂

Running a number of sites with associated staging sites, this management system just works. Keeps all the sites up to date with one logon and interface. Copes with sites with dodgy plugins that don’t play well – love the Shield Central profiles, makes sorting this so easy – and the support is quick and courteous, even when the problem is another plugin not doing what it should.

After good a bit of research into Wordpress Security Software, I decided to check out take the 14-day free trial of iControlWP. I opted for the ‘Agency Pro’ package as it includes all the add ons and the daily backups. I am really impressed with this plugin and am only sorry that I didn’t start using it earlier. The installation was really very easy and the plugin has already helped us close a lot of vulnerabilities (many of which we weren’t aware of) and add additional layers of security to our client websites. In a very short space of time, we’ve managed to streamline our Wordpress maintenance and greatly simplify our workflow and increase our security.

By far the BEST admin kit for administering multiple wordpress sites along with their security product called Shield. It’s a one-stop resource to cover all and administer ALL your wordpress sites from one incredible dashboard. I highly recommend to anyone. Also the customer support is excellent.
