Biggest opportunity: “pci compliance”, “vulnerability scan” and “vulnerability scanning” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 177.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| pci scanning your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| darkweb | #1 | #1 | — |
| pci scan your tag | #10 | #5 | 0 |
| trust seals | #23 | #6 | down 1 |
| security seals | #20 | #12 | 0 |

6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “pci compliance”, “vulnerability scan” and “vulnerability scanning” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “darkweb”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

If you have a woocommerce site this plugin will cover the asv and saq compliance portion. It works and the reports were accepted by my merchant bank.

I have been using their service for years, but had to login to their portal to manage the scans. Now I can manage scans and reports through my wpadmin console which makes it easier on my end.

The GDPR scan identified some data, old employee info that should have been taken down. I can attest that the scans do work.
