Our Process

How It Works

Security Audit

We run a comprehensive security audit of your WordPress installation — scanning for vulnerabilities, outdated components, weak credentials, misconfigurations, and any existing malware.

Hardening Plan

We document all findings, prioritize by severity, and present you with a clear hardening plan — so you know exactly what we'll fix and why it matters.

Hardening Implementation

We systematically implement all security measures — firewall rules, login protection, file hardening, WAF setup, 2FA, and any malware removal — with full testing after each step.

Monitoring & Handover

We configure ongoing security monitoring, verify all hardening measures are in place, and hand over a full security report plus guidelines for maintaining security going forward.

Overview

About WordPress Security & Hardening

WordPress powers over 43% of the web — which also makes it the number one target for hackers, bots, and malicious actors. The vast majority of WordPress hacks are entirely preventable with proper security practices. The question isn’t whether your site will be targeted — it’s whether it will be protected when it is.

Our WordPress security service goes far beyond installing a security plugin and hoping for the best. We perform a thorough security audit, identify vulnerabilities specific to your site’s configuration, implement a layered security strategy, and set up ongoing monitoring to catch threats before they become problems.

What Our Security Hardening Covers

Security hardening is about eliminating attack surfaces. We secure your WordPress login, user accounts, file permissions, and wp-config.php. We disable unnecessary features that attackers commonly exploit, implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF), set up brute force protection, configure two-factor authentication, and ensure your SSL is properly configured. We also conduct a full plugin and theme audit to identify outdated or vulnerable components.

Malware Removal Included

If your site has already been compromised, we’ll clean it up completely. Our malware removal process includes a thorough scan of all files and database entries, removal of all malicious code, identification of the attack vector, and hardening to prevent reinfection. We’ll also help you get removed from any blacklists (Google, Sucuri, etc.) so your site’s reputation is fully restored.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

My site has already been hacked. Can you help?

Yes — malware removal is part of our security service. We'll scan your entire site (files and database), remove all malicious code, identify how the attacker got in, close the vulnerability, and harden the site to prevent reinfection. We'll also assist with getting your site removed from Google's blacklist if it's been flagged.

How do I know if my WordPress site has been hacked?

Common signs include: Google showing a "This site may be hacked" warning, unexpected redirects to other sites, new admin users you didn't create, unusual files in your WordPress directory, your site loading slowly or showing strange content, or your hosting provider suspending your account. If you notice any of these, contact us immediately.

Will security hardening affect my site's functionality?

Done correctly, no. We test all hardening measures carefully and use staging environments for complex changes. Some aggressive security measures can occasionally affect functionality, and we'll discuss any such trade-offs with you before implementing them.

Do I need ongoing security monitoring after the hardening?

Yes — security is not a one-time fix. The WordPress threat landscape constantly evolves, and new vulnerabilities are discovered regularly. We recommend ongoing monitoring (available as part of our care plans) to catch and respond to new threats before they become incidents.
