WordPress Security Service
Is your WordPress website properly protected against security threats? Our WordPress Security Service helps protect your website by strengthening its security settings, reviewing vulnerabilities and setting up appropriate monitoring and protection measures.
We will assess your website, apply suitable security measures and establish a plan for ongoing security maintenance.
Improve Your WordPress Website's Security
WordPress websites can face threats from vulnerable plugins, outdated software, weak passwords, compromised accounts and automated attacks. A website may also have security weaknesses that are not immediately visible.
Our service focuses on identifying common security risks, strengthening your website’s configuration and putting suitable protection and monitoring measures in place.
We also review your WordPress installation, themes, plugins, hosting environment and backup arrangements.
Avoid the Cost of a Hacked Website
- If you don’t know whether your WordPress, themes and plugins are current, we’ll check and bring everything up to date.
- Get professional, once-off protection at a fraction of the cost of recovering from a hack.
- If your website brings in orders or leads, downtime and a hack are costs you can’t afford.
- Don’t let a hacked site showing spam or unpleasant content put off your customers.
What's Included in Our WordPress Security Service?
One once-off service that audits, hardens, and protects your WordPress website. We install and configure a security plugin, lock down your login and server settings, and create an initial and final backup once the service has been implemented.
Security Assessment
We will review your WordPress installation, themes, plugins, user accounts and website settings to identify outdated software, potential security weaknesses and areas that need attention. This gives us a clear picture of your website’s current security.
WordPress Update
We will check and update your WordPress core, themes and plugins where updates are available and compatible. Unused or unnecessary themes and plugins are also identified for removal to reduce potential security risks.
Security Plugin Setup
We will install and configure Wordfence Security, where appropriate, to provide an additional layer of protection. This includes firewall configuration, malware scanning, login protection and alerts for important security events.
Login & Access
We will review how users access your website and strengthen login security. This may include 2-factor authentication, protection against repeated login attempts, CAPTCHA configuration and reviewing administrator accounts and permissions.
WordPress Hardening
We will apply recommended WordPress security settings to reduce common vulnerabilities. This includes restricting certain file-editing functions, reviewing user permissions, disabling unnecessary features and strengthening access to important website files.
Hosting Hardening
We rwill eview and improve available hosting-level security settings. This may include file permissions, HTTPS enforcement, security headers, directory access restrictions and additional protection for sensitive folders.
PHP Compatibility Check
We will check your website’s current PHP version and assess whether WordPress, your theme and installed plugins are compatible with a newer supported PHP version. We provide recommendations before any PHP upgrade is considered.
Backup
We will review your existing website backup arrangements, including backup schedules, storage locations and recovery options. Where hosting access allows, we also take a full website and database backup before making changes.
Reporting
We will provide a written security report outlining our findings, the improvements made and any remaining recommendations. We also document your security settings.
