🧩 ServicePress (Core WordPress + ServiceNow Integration)
No Centralized Visibility | Manual CMDB Inventory | Multi-Network Chaos | No Automation |
Problem: IT teams have to log into each WordPress site manually to track plugins, themes, or updates. ✅ Fix: ServicePress gives centralized visibility into all WordPress sites and their configurations directly within ServiceNow. | Problem: WordPress sites, plugins, and themes are often not tracked properly in an ITSM CMDB. ✅ Fix: ServicePress automatically syncs WordPress assets (core, themes, plugins) into your ServiceNow CMDB for clean, auditable records. | Problem: Managing large multisite WordPress networks (like universities or franchises) with inconsistent user roles and configurations. ✅ Fix: ServicePress allows for organized, role-based management of users and content across networks, all controlled through workflows in ServiceNow. | Problem: Content updates, user role assignments, and system reporting are all manual and time-consuming. ✅ Fix: ServicePress automates many of these tasks using ServiceNow’s workflow engine—saving time and reducing errors. |
🔐 ServicePress: Wordfence Security Add-On
Unknown Plugin Vulnerabilities | Delayed Vulnerabilities (Free Version) | No Incident Response Workflow | Poor Auditing & Compliance |
Problem: Security teams don’t know which WordPress sites are using vulnerable plugin versions. ✅ Fix: This add-on cross-references installed plugin versions against the Wordfence vulnerability database and alerts admins within ServiceNow. | Problem: With the free Wordfence version, vulnerability data is delayed by up to 30 days. ✅ Fix: ServicePress still makes use of this delayed data but offers ServiceNow alerts and dashboards for tracking even old vulnerabilities until Premium is activated. | Problem: There’s no connection between detected vulnerabilities and the incident response team. ✅ Fix: Automatically create incidents or tasks in ServiceNow when a vulnerability is detected, so IT can respond quickly. | Problem: No standardized logs or proof of remediation for WordPress security audits. ✅ Fix: All changes, updates, and vulnerability patches are logged in ServiceNow, improving audit readiness and accountability. |
