Security

A compromised site loses customers, rankings, and trust — all at once.

Security work is mostly invisible until it isn’t. WordPress sites in particular see relentless automated attack attempts within hours of going live — bots probing for known vulnerabilities, brute-forcing login pages, scanning for outdated plugins. Hosted platforms like Shopify and Squarespace handle much of this at the platform level, but every site benefits from active security practices regardless of where it’s built. Most attack attempts fail because the site is configured correctly. The ones that succeed usually exploit something that should have been patched months ago.

Our approach starts with hardening: SSL certificates, secure authentication, two-factor login for admin users, web application firewalls, malware scanning, and access controls that limit what each user can do. From there, ongoing monitoring catches suspicious activity early — failed login spikes, unexpected file changes, traffic from known bad sources. If something does get through, we have a response plan that minimises downtime and data loss. Security isn’t a feature you buy once. It’s a practice you maintain, and the cost of doing it well is a fraction of the cost of recovering from a breach.

Deliverables

01 Audit

We scan for vulnerabilities, outdated software, misconfigured permissions, and exposed attack surfaces.

02 Hardening

Known vulnerabilities patched, default credentials changed, unnecessary access removed, and login secured.

03 Firewall & Protection

Web application firewall configured, malware scanning enabled, and SSL certificates verified and monitored.

04 Access Controls

User roles reviewed, two-factor authentication enforced, and admin access limited to those who need it.

05 Monitor & Report

Ongoing monitoring with alerts for suspicious activity — and a monthly security status report.
