Professional Website Security

The problem website security solves

Most attacks are not aimed at your company. They are automated: a bot scans thousands of domains, looks for a known hole in an outdated plugin or a weak administrator password, and exploits it in seconds. Your site is not a target – it is simply an unlocked door on a list.

The consequence is rarely dramatic straight away. More often the malware sits there for weeks: sending spam from your domain, injecting invisible links to gambling sites, or redirecting mobile visitors elsewhere. In that time your domain reputation drops, your email starts landing in spam folders and Google flags the site as harmful. Recovery takes months; prevention takes hours per month.

• An outdated CMS, theme or plugin for which a patch has long existed.
• Weak or reused administrator passwords with no two-factor authentication.
• Server file permissions that allow PHP to execute from the upload folder.
• Backups stored on the same server as the site – so they disappear with it.
• No monitoring: the problem is discovered only when a customer calls.

What the security service includes every month

The work starts with an audit: we map user accounts and permissions, plugin versions, PHP and database versions, the SSL setup, HTTP security headers, DNS records and email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). The audit produces a list ordered by real risk, not by a tool's severity label.

The site then moves into continuous maintenance. Updates are installed in a staging environment, checked, and only then pushed live. Backups are kept in a separate location from the site and restores are tested – a backup nobody has restored is not a backup. Monitoring watches uptime, certificate validity, file changes and malware.

• Security and software updates through staging, never straight to live.
• A web application firewall (WAF) and bot filtering in front of the server.
• Malware scanning and file integrity checks with alerting.
• Two-factor authentication, permission clean-up and login rate limiting.
• SSL, HSTS and security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy) configured properly.
• Daily off-site backups and periodic restore tests.

What happens when the site is already compromised

If a site is hacked, the first step is not panic but isolation: we take a snapshot as evidence, close off access and rotate every key and password. Only then do we look for the entry point – without that the attacker simply reinstalls within days.

Cleaning means replacing infected files with clean originals, checking the database for injected content, removing backdoors and unknown administrator accounts, and then requesting a review through Google Search Console so the warning disappears from search results. Finally we document in writing what happened and what changed – which you also need for GDPR incident records.

How to measure the security result

Security is easy to promise and hard to show, so we report in numbers: uptime as a percentage, security updates installed, blocked login attempts, scan findings and how long they took to resolve, the date of the last successful restore test, and email authentication health from DMARC reports.

You do not have to collect any of those numbers yourself – they arrive in a monthly report with a short note on what was done and what comes next. If something happens, you hear it from us, not from a customer.
