Proactive Security

Partnering with a corporate identity design company that has the ability to carry over the brand online to a website and can provide web security services is of great value these days. This often starts with inspecting your current hosting environment and making adjustments or recommending a new, safer hosting space. Your server is your first line of defense; it should come with built-in security measures, features, and support systems, including the ability to speak with a human in the case of an emergency. 

Many cyberattacks begin with hackers targeting a specific vulnerability within a host system and exploiting it across the entire server which can affect thousands of websites. These types of attacks often involve injecting malicious code into multiple sites simultaneously. Hackers can take advantage of weak server-side security, poor coding practices, outdated backend systems, and, most commonly, vulnerable plugins. Unfortunately, website breaches can go unnoticed for an extended period of time, leading to potential outages that may take significant time to resolve. In some cases, these breaches can result in the defacement or deletion of your database and website. Our proactive security measures are designed to defend your website and data from these malicious cyberattacks.

Maintenance Routines

A proactive WordPress maintenance package, can prevent website downtime due to unauthorized access from cyberattacks, code issues, and bugs. We ensure your website’s security by applying our thorough hardening process and taking on the responsibility for its protection. We apply updates to your system in a secure, isolated environment, separate from your live website. Once everything is thoroughly tested and verified, we update and deploy it to the live website. This process allows us to test updates in a controlled environment, ensuring that the live website remains unaffected by bugs, crashes, or conflicting plugins.

This process enhances server-side security within the host environment and website. Having technicians that can monitor your website’s performance and check activity logs on a regular basis, while ensuring backend plugins are up to date, monitoring unauthorized access activity, and offering an intelligent backup plan are all part of a good plan. 

Secure Backups

A diverse backup strategy that creates a complete backup of your website daily, weekly, and quarterly across multiple locations is a sound strategy. One that includes cloud storage across multiple locations, as well as an offline local copy of your site allows for peace of mind in case of an event. This approach ensures that there are multiple copies of the website, allowing for easy access whenever needed. This also allows for a roll back of your website to a previous version if it becomes compromised. In case of an emergency, it can quickly restore your website to full functionality using one of these backups.
