Purchase a yearly subscription through Stripe Checkout at [ncdLabs Assure](https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/store/), download the encrypted`. assure-pack` file from your order confirmation, then import it from **ncdLabs Assure Controls Install framework pack** with your unlock key. **Packs are not required for GDPR, OWASP, or NIST CSF functionality.** #### Who this is for * WordPress admins responsible for privacy-related technical controls * Agencies operating client sites who need repeatable evidence and audit history * Teams preparing for GDPR-related technical reviews (not a substitute for legal advice) #### External services ncdLabs Assure connects to external services only in the cases below. Hostnames such as `js.stripe.com`, `connect.facebook.net`, `googletagmanager.com`, and `youtube. com` that appear in plugin source are **local detection / verification signature strings** used to recognize scripts already present on your site. The plugin does** not** load those third-party scripts, call those vendors’ APIs, or send visitor data to them. **Pack activation (ncdlabs.com)** — When you import a purchased compliance pack, ncdLabs Assure sends your pack unlock key, framework identifier, and this site’s URL to the ncdLabs activation API to verify the Stripe purchase and bind the license to one site: * Endpoint: `https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/api/activate` * Data sent: unlock key, framework ID, site URL * When: only when you preview or install an encrypted pack you purchased and downloaded from Stripe Checkout * Terms of use: [https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/terms/](https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/terms/) * Privacy policy: [https://ncdlabs.com/privacy/](https://ncdlabs.com/privacy/); product: [https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/privacy/](https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/privacy/) **Browser verification (ncdlabs.com, optional)** — When you import a purchased compliance pack, ncdLabs Assure may call the ncdLabs provisioning API to enable hosted browser verification for consent and analytics checks. If configured, audit and discovery may also send scan targets to your configured browser verification service: * Provision endpoint: `https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/api/browser-verification/ provision` * Default service: `https://browser-verify.ncdlabs.com` * Data sent: pack unlock key, site URL (provision); scan target URL and verification token (when the hosted service is enabled) * When: pack import provisioning; during audits/discovery when hosted browser verification is enabled in **Manage Integrations** * Security: verification endpoints must use HTTPS. Self-hosted endpoint domains must be explicitly allowed with the `assure_browser_verification_allowed_hosts` filter. * Terms of use: [https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/terms/](https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/terms/) * Privacy policy: [https://ncdlabs.com/privacy/](https://ncdlabs.com/privacy/); product: [https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/privacy/](https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/privacy/) **Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager OAuth (Google + ncdlabs.com, optional)**— When an administrator connects Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager from **Manage Integrations**, ncdLabs Assure may use Google OAuth plus the Google Analytics Admin API and/or Google Tag Manager API. If you have not configured your own Google OAuth client credentials, ncdLabs Assure uses an ncdLabs OAuth proxy: * Proxy endpoints: `https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/api/google/oauth/start` and `.../exchange` * Google endpoints: `accounts.google.com`, `oauth2.googleapis.com`, `www.googleapis. com`, `analyticsadmin.googleapis.com`, `tagmanager.googleapis.com` * Data sent: OAuth state, authorization code, and Google Analytics account/property or Tag Manager account/container metadata needed to verify configuration * When: only when an administrator starts or completes a Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager connection * Terms of use: [https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/terms/](https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/terms/); Google: [https://policies.google.com/terms](https://policies.google.com/terms) * Privacy policy: [https://ncdlabs.com/privacy/](https://ncdlabs.com/privacy/); Google: [https://policies.google.com/privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) **Third-party script detection signatures (no outbound calls)** — During discovery, audits, and optional browser verification, ncdLabs Assure matches HTML, network requests, and installed plugins against known vendor hostname patterns (examples: Google Analytics/Tag Manager, Meta Pixel / `connect.facebook.net`, LinkedIn Insight, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, YouTube, Vimeo, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Brevo, Stripe / ` js.stripe.com`). Examples also include CDN hostnames such as `gstatic.com`, `cloudflare. com`, `unpkg.com`, and `cdnjs.cloudflare.com` that appear only as local classification signatures in discovery code. Matching is local string comparison against content already on your site or observed in a verification scan of your site. ncdLabs Assure does not call these vendors, load their scripts, or transmit data to them. **Site self-scan (your own WordPress site)** — During discovery and audits, ncdLabs Assure may request your site’s public homepage and REST API to detect scripts, embeds, forms, and integrations. These requests stay on your site; ncdLabs Assure does not send discovery results to ncdLabs. **Optional deactivation feedback (wp_mail)** — When an administrator deactivates the plugin, an optional survey may appear. Feedback is never required: **Skip & deactivate**, Close, Escape, or Cancel leave without sending anything. If the administrator submits feedback, the selected reason and optional comments are emailed to ncdLabs(` feedback+assure@ncdlabs.com`) using this site’s WordPress mail. A separate checkbox( unchecked by default) can include plugin, WordPress, and PHP versions only — never the site URL or admin email. Mail/API failure still proceeds to deactivate. * Terms of use: [https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/terms/](https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/terms/) * Privacy policy: [https://ncdlabs.com/privacy/](https://ncdlabs.com/privacy/); product: [https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/privacy/](https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/privacy/) No usage telemetry or analytics are sent to ncdLabs by the plugin. #### Source code for built assets Admin, front-end, and plugins.php deactivation-feedback JavaScript and CSS are built with `@wordpress/scripts` (`package.json` and `webpack.config.js`). Human-readable sources ship in the plugin under `assets/src/`. Production builds ship in `build/`. #### Third-party libraries Composer production dependencies are MIT-licensed and GPL-compatible: * chrome-php/chrome, chrome-php/wrench * evenement/evenement * monolog/monolog * psr/log * symfony/filesystem, symfony/process, symfony/polyfill-ctype, symfony/polyfill- mbstring, symfony/polyfill-php80 See each package’s LICENSE file under `vendor/` for copyright notices. ## Screenshots [⌊ncdLabs Assure dashboard with readiness score and control summary⌉⌊ncdLabs Assure dashboard with readiness score and control summary⌉[ ncdLabs Assure dashboard with readiness score and control summary [⌊Controls list with GDPR, OWASP Top 10, and pack management⌉⌊Controls list with GDPR, OWASP Top 10, and pack management⌉[ Controls list with GDPR, OWASP Top 10, and pack management [⌊Consent banner configuration and preview⌉⌊Consent banner configuration and preview⌉[ Consent banner configuration and preview [⌊Findings view with remediation actions⌉⌊Findings view with remediation actions⌉[ Findings view with remediation actions ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/ncdlabs-assure/` or install through the WordPress Plugins screen. 2. Activate **ncdLabs Assure** through the **Plugins** menu. 3. Open **ncdLabs Assure** in the admin sidebar. 4. Run **Assure Audits Run audit** to generate your first GDPR technical readiness snapshot. 5.

No. The free plugin includes complete GDPR, OWASP Top 10, and NIST CSF 2.0 technical control catalogs, consent manager, enforcement tools, audits, evidence, and reporting. Paid yearly packs add optional frameworks such as HIPAA, SOC 2, CCPA, and WCAG. ### Does ncdLabs Assure make my site legally compliant? No. ncdLabs Assure documents **technical** observations and helps you operate controls on your WordPress site. Legal compliance depends on your organization, data processing, policies, and jurisdiction. Consult qualified counsel. ### How do compliance packs work? Purchase a pack at [ncdlabs.com](https://ncdlabs.com/products/assure/store/) via Stripe Checkout, download the encrypted `.assure-pack` from your order confirmation, then use **Controls Install framework pack** and enter your unlock key. Activation binds the pack to the current site URL. Paid pack files are never included in the free WordPress.org download. ### Does ncdLabs Assure work with Complianz or other CMPs? Yes. When a supported third-party consent plugin is active, ncdLabs Assure defers to it and disables the native consent banner to avoid conflicts. ### What data does ncdLabs Assure store? Audit results, evidence, activity log entries, and settings are stored in your WordPress database. Installed framework pack catalogs are stored under your uploads directory at `wp-content/uploads/assure/frameworks/`. Consent preferences are stored in the visitor’s browser (localStorage) when using the native banner. ### Does ncdLabs Assure contact external servers? Only in the cases documented under External services (pack activation, optional browser verification, optional Google OAuth, and optional deactivation feedback if an administrator submits the survey). Deactivation feedback is never required to deactivate. ### What happens when I uninstall ncdLabs Assure? Uninstalling deletes ncdLabs Assure database tables, plugin settings, scheduled monitoring events, and uploaded framework pack files under `wp-content/uploads/assure/`. This cannot be undone. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ncdLabs Assure – Security & Compliance Scanner” is open source software.
