Connection Code Generation

Security Model

Silo Scope takes security seriously:

  • API Token Authentication: Remote sites require a valid token (compared via hash_equals)
  • Domain Allowlist: Only configured domains can request reports
  • SSRF Prevention: Blocks loopback, private, and reserved IP ranges
  • No Tracking: No visitor analytics, pixels, or front-end scripts

Data & Privacy

  • All checks run inside your WordPress installation
  • HTTP checks are loopback requests to your own site
  • Report data stored in WordPress options/transients
  • Remote monitoring requires explicit opt-in via Connection Code

External Services

This plugin includes an optional feature to fetch policy baseline updates from an external server. This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in Plugin Settings.

Remote Policy Baseline (Optional)

When enabled, the plugin fetches health check threshold recommendations from:
– Service URL: https://baseline.scopefleet.com/policy.v1.json
– Data sent: No personal or site data is sent. The request is a simple GET request to retrieve a JSON file.
– When: Only when the “Remote Policy Baseline” option is enabled in Plugin Settings. The data is cached locally for 24 hours.
– Purpose: Provides updated threshold recommendations for site health metrics (e.g., recommended PHP version, memory limits).
– Service provider: SILO (silomade.com)
– Terms of Service: https://silomade.com/terms
– Privacy Policy: https://silomade.com/privacy

If this feature is not enabled, the plugin uses locally bundled policy defaults and makes no external requests.

  1. Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/silo-scope/ or install via the WordPress plugin directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through Plugins > Installed Plugins.
  3. Go to Scope in the left-hand navigation to view your site health report.

Does this plugin send my data to any external service?

By default, no. Silo Scope runs entirely locally within your WordPress installation. However, if you enable the optional “Remote Policy Baseline” feature in Plugin Settings, the plugin will fetch threshold recommendations from baseline.scopefleet.com (a simple GET request with no personal data sent). See the “External Services” section above for details.

Can I monitor multiple sites?

This plugin monitors a single WordPress site. Multi-site monitoring capabilities are planned for a future release.

What PHP version do I need?

PHP 7.4 or higher is required.

Does this work with multisite?

Yes, Silo Scope works on individual sites within a WordPress Multisite network.

  • Moved Clarity Doctrine documentation to shared location for cross-product use.
