| Pros | Firewall rules written to .htaccess; Login lockouts and a security log; Malware scanner and database backups in one plugin | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files |
| Cons | Writes .htaccess files, so a mistake can lock out a site; Setup needs technical knowledge; Paid BPS Pro needed for some automated tools | SVG optimiser is off by default and needs a code filter; Settings are limited to the upload role choice; Sanitising rules decide what markup survives, so check designs after upload |
