WordPress Security

Hardening, monitoring, and malware cleanup. Not just a plugin.

What We Do

If you've been hacked, we clean it up. If you haven't, we make sure it stays that way. Server hardening, vulnerability patching, firewall config, monitoring. The stuff a security plugin doesn't cover.

Why This Matters

WordPress runs 40% of the web. That makes it target #1 for automated attacks. A plugin helps, but attackers get in through server misconfigs, outdated PHP, weak passwords, and unpatched plugins. We lock all of it down.

What that looks like in practice

If you've already been hacked, we start with containment: take the site offline, change all credentials, scan every file for backdoors. We've seen attackers leave 3-4 different backdoors so that cleaning one still leaves them a way back in. After cleanup, we harden everything: file permissions (644 for files, 755 for directories, 600 for wp-config.php), disable file editing from the dashboard, configure the WAF, set up two-factor auth, and add file integrity monitoring. We also check your hosting — shared hosting with 200 other sites is a security problem no plugin can fix.

What's Included

  • Malware removal & cleanup
  • Firewall configuration (WAF)
  • Vulnerability scanning & patching
  • SSL/TLS setup & hardening
  • User role & permission audits
  • Automated backup strategy

Our Approach

Here's how we work through every project, step by step.

01

Security audit — vulnerability scanning, file integrity check, malware detection, access log review

02

Malware removal and cleanup (if infected) — thorough file and database scan, backdoor removal

03

Server-level hardening — file permissions, PHP configuration, directory protection, disable unnecessary services

04

Firewall configuration — WAF rules, rate limiting, bot protection, IP blocklists

05

Authentication hardening — strong passwords enforced, two-factor authentication, login attempt limiting

06

Ongoing monitoring setup — file integrity monitoring, uptime checks, Google Search Console security alerts
