Website Security

Websites can be hacked. This can bring down your site, risk your customer’s privacy, and prevent you from doing business. It is important to take preventative measures to protect any website. Basic things like secure passwords, and SSL encryption should be on every website. More advanced security like firewalls and malware scanners are an extra layer of protection. Hackers prefer to target the least secure websites, so the goal is to be just a few steps ahead of everyone else.

Website Hacking Repair

Has your website already been compromised? We can fix it and remove the hacked content, restoring the site to normal. Often hacked websites will redirect your clients to spam websites, or use your site to advertise their illicit products and services.

Wordpress

Wordpress security is our specialty. We do both preventative security and security after a company has already been hacked.

Encryption

Encryption prevents hackers from snooping on your client’s activity and passwords or credit cards. It also increases search engine ranking and sales.

Security Plugins

We recommend Wordfence to secure a website. It is a WordPress plugin that acts similar to an antivirus and firewall for a computer, preventing problems before they happen.

Frequently Asked Questions – Website Security

Do I need website security?

If your site makes you money then yes. If you have a login on your website you should be using SSL encryption. If your website is critical to your business services it should be running a web firewall and web antivirus. Every website should have a backup plan, just in case things goes wrong.

What kind of security is available?

The basic stuff is the most important, like good passwords and automatic update of plugins. There are also some website features we can disable to enhance security on sites based on WordPress. SSL Encryption prevents hackers from intercepting website data like logins, credit cards and contact forms. Web firewall and web antivirus are both emerging technologies that check your website for malicious code and prevent hackers from connecting to the site in the first place.

What website systems do you repair after a hack?

We specialize in WordPress security and custom websites programmed in PHP or HTML. We do not support Drupal or Joomla after they have already been hacked.
