The Before: Manual, Error-Prone Audits Without a formal checklist, audits become a guessing game. Team members rely on memory, skip steps, and miss vulnerabilities. A single audit could take hours, with no guarantee of completeness. Worse, without documentation, there's no way to prove due diligence if a client site is compromised. Consider a typical scenario: An agency manages 20 client sites. Each audit involves manually checking user permissions, plugin updates, and backup status.
