Have you looked at Edublogs? https://edublogs.org/

This is only 2nd hand information but I was under the impression that

We are looking for a firm that can assist us in auditing and securing
our WordPress based sites. We are also looking for security best
practices for WordPress. We have audits at a higher level (OS, web
server), but have not focused in at an application level. Does anyone
have any recommendations for a firm that supplies these services?
