I’ve been using [wordpress.com]) (Oh, yes I know…) as my host for my e-commerce business. They manage security and malware issues, so my question is do they do a good job? We have never been hacked or has any issues with them.
Asking their support a question and seems like I got one of their automotive responses:

Question:
Why is the plugin “Wordfence Security – Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security” not available to download? What type of security measures does wordpress.com as a host offer instead?
Answer:
The plugin “Wordfence Security – Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security” is not available to download on WordPress.com because we have our own security measures in place to protect your site. Here at WordPress.com, we take security very seriously and have implemented a range of security features to keep your site safe.
Firstly, we have a cutting-edge firewall and other security measures in place to ensure the safety and security of your site. This means that your site is protected from common security threats and vulnerabilities.
Additionally, we perform regular security scans using Jetpack Scan, which reads the content of plugins and theme files to find vulnerabilities and security threats like malware. Jetpack Scan also scans files uploaded by the site’s users to ensure everything is safe.
If our security scans find any issues that may put your site at risk, we will try to notify you. However, if the issue is pressing and could negatively impact your site or our hosting platform if left unresolved, we will take immediate action to clean the security threat. Please note that this may result in changes to the appearance or functionality of your site.
Furthermore, we provide backups, restores, and security scanning as part of our Jetpack Security features. This means that you have the peace of mind knowing that your site is backed up and can be restored if needed.
It’s important to note that while our security measures are robust, no system is completely immune to malware or other security issues. That’s why it’s important to follow best practices and be cautious when installing plugins and themes. We recommend installing reputable plugins and themes from trusted sources, and checking the ratings and reviews on WordPress.org to find the best options.
