Watch who signs in, and what they change, on every site

The fastest way into a WordPress site is not a clever exploit, it is a valid password on an admin account. Reused credentials, phishing and careless privilege grants put more sites at risk than any zero-day. That is why WordPress user activity and password monitoring is less about surveillance and more about early warning: an unexpected role change or a sudden run of failed logins is often the first visible sign of a breach.

VigilDeck records the events that matter on the authentication and account side, who signed in, who failed, who reset a password, who was promoted to administrator, and streams a signed copy off-site to a tamper-evident timeline. You get a genuine audit trail for security and compliance, spanning every site you manage, without the log living inside the account someone may have just compromised.

A compromised account rarely announces itself. An attacker who lands valid credentials will often create a second admin user, change an email address so reset links flow to them, or quietly bump a low-privilege account up to administrator. Native WordPress shows you a user list, not a history, so unless you happened to be watching at that exact moment, the change blends in.

The signals that would have warned you are just as invisible. A burst of failed logins against one username, a password reset nobody requested, a role change made at 3am from an unfamiliar session: individually easy to miss, together a clear pattern. Without a record, there is nothing to spot the pattern in.

Then there is accountability. When a setting changes on a site three people can access, "who did that?" should have an answer. Native WordPress cannot give you one after the fact, and on a portfolio of sites the question multiplies until it is unanswerable.
