Website security services

Hardening, monitoring, and recovery for marketing sites and apps — so a plugin exploit or leaked password doesn’t become a brand incident.

Problems

What problems does website security solve?

Unpatched software

CMS cores, plugins, and Node dependencies sit outdated because “updates might break the site.”

Weak access control

Shared admin passwords, unused users, and no 2FA on production.

No real backups

Hosts say backups exist — until restore day proves they’re incomplete or untested.

Malware and spam injections

Pharma hacks and SEO spam poison rankings and scare customers.

Form and API abuse

Open endpoints invite spam, credential stuffing, and scraped data.

Process

Our website security process

01

Security audit

Access review, dependency inventory, headers, SSL, backup posture, and known CVE exposure.

02

Hardening

Least-privilege users, 2FA, WAF/firewall rules where appropriate, and secure headers.

03

Patch program

Staged updates with smoke tests — the opposite of blind auto-update roulette.

04

Monitoring

File integrity, uptime, and alert paths that reach humans who can act.

05

Incident response

If something slips through: contain, clean, restore, rotate secrets, and document.

Benefits

Benefits of website security services

Lower breach risk

Hygiene and patching remove the easy wins attackers script against.

Faster recovery

Tested backups and a response plan beat improvisation under stress.

Trust for customers

HTTPS, clean malware scans, and stable forms protect brand perception.

Pairs with maintenance

Security is strongest as an ongoing program — not a one-time PDF audit.

FAQ

Website Security — frequently asked questions

Do you offer one-time audits or ongoing security?

Both. Audits deliver a prioritized fix list; maintenance and security retainers keep patching and monitoring alive.

Can you clean a hacked WordPress site?

Yes — malware cleanup, credential rotation, patching, and hardening so reinfection is less likely.

Is this the same as enterprise penetration testing?

We focus on practical web application and CMS hardening for marketing sites and product frontends. Formal pentests can be coordinated with specialist partners when required.

Do you help with GDPR or privacy compliance?

We implement technical controls (consent, cookies, secure forms). Legal advice remains with your counsel — we align implementation to your policy.

What about Shopify security?

We harden themes/apps, review access, and reduce risky customizations while leaning on Shopify’s platform controls.

How quickly can you respond to an incident?

Retainer clients get priority incident handling. One-off emergency cleanups are scheduled as rush engagements when capacity allows.

Will security work slow the site down?

Done correctly, hardening and caching coexist. We avoid “security plugins” that destroy Core Web Vitals.
