Website Security
Security that protects every platform — hardening, monitoring, and malware response for WordPress, custom sites, and online stores.
Security that works before the alarm
Website security is not a one-time lock — it is hardening that stops attacks, monitoring that catches them, and an incident plan that responds. This service covers all three, for WordPress, custom-built sites, and online stores, in one coherent program. Where most sites fail An unmaintained site is a list of known vulnerabilities wearing a login page. The common entry points are unchanged for years: outdated software, weak passwords, exposed admin areas, and backups that nobody can actually restore. Each is preventable — and each is checked before the first month is done. What the program includes Hardening baseline, access control, daily monitoring with real alerts, malware cleanup with incident response (the same capability that was previously a separate "Malware Removal" service), and a written incident plan you can follow the day something happens.
What hardening and response buy you
Why this service pays off for your business.
- Fewer successful attacks — most are automated and look for the obvious gaps you no longer have.
- Lower insurance risk — documented controls and a written incident plan go a long way with carriers.
- Faster recovery when something does happen — a plan and tested restores beat panic every time.
- Monitoring that pages the right people, not every alert into your inbox.
- One relationship for all of it — no hand-offs between "scan guy" and "cleaner" and "hardener."
How It Works
The process we follow to deliver this service.
Baseline assessment
Current software versions, configs, access controls, and known vulnerabilities inventoried — the gaps listed before any change.
Hardening
Configs, permissions, headers, and admin surface reduced; 2FA and login limits enforced.
Monitoring
File-integrity checks, scan scheduling, and alerts routed to the right person at the right noise level.
Incident response
If the worst happens: contain, clean every backdoor, close the entry point, then restore and verify with Google.
Maintenance
Quarterly re-checks so hardening does not drift and the plan stays live — not shelf-ware.
What's Included
Everything you need to succeed — delivered as part of this service.
Hardening Baseline
File permissions, server headers, CMS configs, and plugin hygiene locked down per platform.
Access Control
User roles, login limits, 2FA, and admin-path lockdown where it matters.
Monitoring & Alerts
File-integrity checks, failed-login alerts, and vulnerability feeds watched daily.
Malware Cleanup & Incident Response
Full cleanup of files, database, and backdoors — then the entry point closed so it does not recur (the capability formerly sold as Malware Removal).
Vulnerability Management
Regular reviews for outdated software and exposed surfaces before they become incidents.
Incident Plan
A written plan for what to do if something happens — who calls whom, what is restored, and how Google is notified.
Frequently Asked Questions
Key Details
Additional context about this service.
What people searching for "website security" actually want
The searcher wants their site protected — whatever platform it runs on — and, if the worst happened, cleaned up properly. They do not want to become security experts; they want the site defended and the entry points closed.
- Protection across WordPress, custom sites, and stores
- A real answer to "how would I know if I was hacked"
- Cleanup that removes the backdoor, not just the symptom
- A plan for what to do when something happens
Who this service is for
Any site owner who wants defense in depth — but especially businesses on any platform whose compromise costs real money: stores, client sites, and high-traffic sites.
- Businesses running any platform — WordPress, custom, or a store — with no security baseline
- Sites that have been attacked and need cleanup plus prevention
- Companies that want monitoring and an incident plan before an incident
- Teams with compliance or client obligations that require a security posture
The problems this service solves
Attacks are not exotic — they follow well-known patterns that a baseline prevents:
- File permissions, headers, and CMS configs left at insecure defaults
- Admin access with no limits — no 2FA, no lockout, admin paths exposed
- No monitoring, so the attack is discovered late or by Google
- Malware and backdoors that cleanup attempts miss — the entry point never closed
- No incident plan, so a breach becomes chaos
How we solve them
Defense by baseline, monitoring by default, and response by plan: every platform gets the hardening it needs, watched daily, with a written incident path.
- A hardening baseline per platform — permissions, headers, CMS configs, and plugin hygiene locked down
- Access control — roles, login limits, 2FA, and admin-path lockdown where it matters
- Monitoring and alerts — file-integrity checks, failed-login alerts, and vulnerability feeds watched daily
- Malware cleanup and incident response — full cleanup of files, database, and backdoors, then the entry point closed so it does not recur
- A written incident plan — who calls whom, what is restored, and how Google is notified
When to use this service
Security work is urgent after an incident and wise before one. Typical situations:
- After a hack, defacement, or malware infection
- A site or store that has never had a security review
- Before a launch or campaign that will bring attention — and attackers
- A business that needs monitoring and a documented incident plan in place
Technologies and tools we use
The platform-appropriate defense stack:
- Per-platform hardening — WordPress, custom sites, and store platforms each get their own baseline
- 2FA, access control, and admin-path protection
- File-integrity monitoring and vulnerability feeds
- WAF and CDN layers where they add protection
- Cleanup tooling and procedures for files, database, and backdoors
What you receive
A defended site with a response path:
- A hardening baseline applied per platform and documented
- Access control configured — roles, limits, 2FA
- Monitoring and alerts routed to the right people
- A cleanup and incident-response procedure — with the entry point closed
- A written incident plan and the contact path for when something happens
