What is Patchstack?

Patchstack is an Estonia-based application security platform focused on WordPress. Its RapidMitigate engine applies virtual patches, over 15,000 unique mitigation rules, that block exploitation of known vulnerabilities without requiring code changes or waiting for an official plugin update, often providing protection up to 48 hours ahead of public disclosure.

The platform also performs software composition analysis to identify vulnerable plugins and themes, offers advanced hardening and IP blocklisting, and supports remote management across many sites at once through an API. Patchstack is sold on a Developer plan priced per website license with a free first month, plus custom Enterprise and Web Host plans aimed at MSPs, agencies, and hosting providers who need compliance features like SLAs and DPAs.
