Local
Meaningful local foundation
The plugin works locally for posture checks, basic hardening, generic firewall rules, login throttling, local logs, and backup readiness.
WordPress.org Compatibility
Arximus is designed around a public local plugin, documented SaaS communication, meaningful local functionality, consent-based cloud connection, and signed structured data instead of remote executable code.
Serviceware model
Arximus Cloud provides the managed security intelligence, policy, backup storage, restore verification, alerting, analytics, and optional Edge WAF service.
The local plugin provides real local functionality and enforces signed structured policy without downloading executable code from Arximus Cloud.
Clear boundaries
Arximus Cloud may send policies, decisions, scores, signatures, manifests, backup metadata, restore plans, and entitlements.
It must not send PHP, JavaScript, CSS, shell commands, plugins, themes, remote includes, executable handlers, or hidden premium add-ons.
Compatibility principles
Arximus keeps local code transparent and SaaS functionality substantial.
Local
The plugin works locally for posture checks, basic hardening, generic firewall rules, login throttling, local logs, and backup readiness.
Cloud
The paid service provides managed policy, intelligence, offsite storage, restore verification, alerting, fleet command, and Edge WAF.
Consent
Security telemetry and cloud service calls are tied to connection, setup, and documented configuration.
No loaders
The plugin does not download or execute remote PHP, JS, CSS, shell commands, plugins, themes, or add-ons.
Documentation
The readme and site must explain what service is used, what data is sent, when, why, and how to disconnect.
Safety
Remote policy and decisions are schema-validated, signed, scoped to the site, and rejected if invalid.
Trust outcome
The separation is a product advantage, not just a compliance requirement.
Local code
Executable code belongs in the plugin package.
Cloud service
Proprietary value lives in managed intelligence, storage, analytics, and recovery operations.
User control
Customers can stop cloud communication and manage local data.
Security
Unsigned, expired, malformed, or executable cloud payloads are rejected.
Transparent architecture
Arximus uses local enforcement and cloud intelligence without hiding executable logic outside the plugin.
