The Threats Are
Real and Relentless

WordPress powers 43% of the web -- and 90,000+ attacks hit WordPress sites every single minute. These are the threats targeting your site right now.

97% of WP vulns

Plugin Vulnerabilities

97% of WordPress vulnerabilities originate from plugins and themes. One unpatched plugin is all it takes -- attackers scan for it automatically and exploit it within hours of disclosure.

16B+ attempts/year

Brute Force & Weak Passwords

8% of WordPress hacks succeed through weak or reused passwords. Botnets cycle through billions of combinations 24/7. If your login page is unprotected, access is a matter of when, not if.

#1 OWASP threat

SQL Injection & XSS

Injection attacks remain the #1 web attack vector worldwide. A single vulnerable form field lets attackers dump your entire database -- customer emails, passwords, payment data -- in seconds.

30K+ sites hacked/day

Malware & Hidden Backdoors

30,000+ WordPress sites are hacked every single day. Attackers plant hidden backdoors that survive theme updates, plugin reinstalls, and even manual cleanups -- reinfecting your site weeks later.

Ransomware & Defacement

Attackers encrypt your files or replace your homepage with spam. Google blacklists your domain within hours, wiping out your SEO rankings and sending customers to your competitors.

39% of breaches

Privilege Escalation

A low-level subscriber account is all attackers need. They exploit role vulnerabilities to gain full admin access, then install crypto miners, redirect traffic, or exfiltrate your customer data silently.

Multi-Layer
Security Architecture

Six layers of protection working together so no single vulnerability can take your site down. Every layer is designed to prevent damage -- not just detect it after the fact.

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Stops SQL injection, XSS, and bot abuse at the edge -- before malicious traffic ever reaches your server. Result: 99.9% of automated attacks never touch your site.

WordPress Hardening

40+ manual hardening measures eliminate the attack surface hackers rely on. No more exposed XML-RPC, default file permissions, or version leaks. Your site becomes a dead end for automated scanners.

Malware Scanning & Removal

Continuous file-integrity monitoring catches backdoors and injected code within minutes, not weeks. If malware is found, we trace the attack vector and eliminate it -- preventing reinfection, not just symptoms.

24/7 Threat Monitoring

Every login attempt, file change, and database query is watched in real time. Suspicious activity triggers instant alerts so threats are neutralized before damage spreads -- not discovered during your next audit.

Vulnerability Management

We identify vulnerable plugins, themes, and core versions before exploits go public. Patches are applied proactively so zero-day windows stay closed and your site never appears on attacker target lists.

Incident Response (<2h SLA)

If the worst happens, our team is on it within 2 hours -- not 2 days. Full forensic analysis, complete cleanup, root-cause hardening, and a post-incident report so the same attack never works twice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the WAF slow down my site?

No. Our WAF operates at the edge (CDN level), meaning requests are filtered before they even reach your server. Most clients see improved load times because the WAF also blocks bot traffic that was previously consuming server resources.

How long does security hardening take?

Initial hardening is completed within 24-48 hours. This includes WAF deployment, file permission lockdown, authentication hardening, security header configuration, and vulnerability patching. Ongoing monitoring begins immediately after.

What if I'm already hacked -- can you help?

Yes. We offer emergency incident response with an under-2-hour SLA. We isolate the infection, remove all malware, identify the attack vector, patch the vulnerability, and harden the site to prevent reinfection. This is included in all managed security plans.

Does this work with WooCommerce and custom plugins?

Absolutely. We have extensive experience securing WooCommerce stores and sites with custom plugin ecosystems. Our hardening process is tailored to your specific stack, and we test every change in staging before deploying to production.

My hosting provider includes security -- how is this different?

Hosting security protects the server infrastructure. We protect your WordPress application -- the plugins, themes, user accounts, file system, and database that hosting providers explicitly exclude from their security scope. Think of it as the difference between a building's security system and a personal bodyguard.

What certifications do your security engineers hold?

Our team holds certifications including OSCP (Offensive Security), CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), and WordPress-specific security credentials. We also participate in responsible disclosure programs and stay current with the latest CVE databases.

Can I cancel the managed security plan anytime?

Yes. All plans are month-to-month with no long-term contracts. If you cancel, we provide a full handover document detailing your current security configuration so your team or next provider can maintain continuity.

Do you provide compliance reports (GDPR, PCI)?

Yes. We provide monthly security reports that include vulnerability scan results, incident logs, and compliance status. For PCI DSS and GDPR requirements, we can generate specific documentation and work with your compliance team to ensure all controls are met.
