attachmentAV

attachmentAV provides malware scanning for files uploaded through WordPress forms, aiming to protect websites from viruses and other malicious software. The tool is designed for WordPress site administrators who need to ensure that uploaded attachments do not introduce security risks. It integrates with popular WordPress form plugins, including WPForms, Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, Formidable Forms, and WordPress File Upload, enabling real-time scanning of files as they are uploaded.

The platform operates by sending uploaded files from the WordPress site to the attachmentAV API, where they are scanned using Sophos antivirus technology. If malware is detected, the plugin rejects the infected file before it can reach the site. The service offers automated mitigation by deleting infected files and notifying users about these actions. attachmentAV maintains a continually updated malware database to protect against the latest threats, and files are typically scanned within seconds to provide prompt detection.

Security and compliance are emphasized, with the solution being ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and is deleted immediately after processing. The tool is described as a fully managed anti-malware service that can be enabled with minimal configuration. It is delivered as a WordPress plugin that connects to the attachmentAV API for scanning.

attachmentAV is positioned as a trusted solution for protecting WordPress blogs and sites from malware, with a focus on maintaining SEO rankings by preventing infected files from being distributed.
