What CMS platforms does vScan support?

vScan supports WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal — the three most widely deployed open-source CMS platforms. All three are monitored from a single dashboard with the same continuous scanning logic.

How often does vScan check for new vulnerabilities?

vScan re-scans your fingerprinted components the moment a new CVE is disclosed. There is no fixed scan interval — coverage is continuous and event-driven.

Does vScan require server access or developer setup?

No. vScan installs as a plugin on your CMS. There is no server access, no SSH configuration, and no developer involvement required. Setup is one-time.

How does vScan differ from Wordfence or Patchstack?

vScan is purpose-built for multi-site monitoring across WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal in one dashboard. Where Wordfence focuses on WordPress firewall and malware scanning, and Patchstack focuses on managed patching, vScan focuses on continuous CVE-based vulnerability detection with severity-ranked alerts, with patching (vPatch) launching as a companion product.

Can vScan integrate with our existing alerting tools?

vScan ships with email alerts on detection. Slack and webhook routing are on the near-term roadmap, enabling integration with incident management workflows.
