AAM Extension for MainWP
See the AAM security audit results and AAM Security Score of each child site in your MainWP Dashboard.
Daily AAM access control audits for all your client sites
The AAM Extension for MainWP is a free MainWP add-on that brings the Advanced Access Manager (AAM) security audit results and AAM Security Score of each child site into your MainWP Dashboard. AAM scans each site daily, and the detected issues sync to your Dashboard together with the score.
Reviewing security audits site by site
Many security problems start with poor access control. AAM’s security audit finds the weak spots in a site’s access strategy, and reading its results used to mean opening AAM on each site in turn. The AAM Extension for MainWP syncs the audit results from all your connected sites to your MainWP Dashboard, so you review them in one place.
Features
The AAM Extension for MainWP shows what each daily AAM audit finds on your child sites.

| Access control findings | The audit detects and reports insufficient security designs and broken access controls, which OWASP names among the leading causes of security incidents. |
| AAM Security Score | Each child site gets an AAM Security Score that you see in your MainWP Dashboard. |
| Detected issues and reports | The issues each audit detects sync to your Dashboard, with detailed reports you open from there. |
