Managed website security
Managed security.
With a clear owner.
Give website security a clear owner. Discuss ongoing checks, maintenance priorities and a practical response path for your business.
Clear ownershipKnow which tasks belong to whom
An agreed review cadenceChecks shaped around your website
A practical escalation pathKnow what happens when something changes
Security tasks should not
live on a forgotten list.
Between running the business and maintaining the website, important security responsibilities can lose their owner.
Alerts arrive without a next step
Monitoring is useful when someone knows which signals to review and when to escalate.
Backup checks stop at a success message
Someone needs to understand coverage, retention and how a restoration would work.
Your host and developer each cover one piece
A shared responsibility map makes the gaps between providers easier to see.
Choose the part you want taken care of.
Explore the recurring responsibilities that can be included in a managed security agreement.

Document meaningful observations with context.
- 03

Record upcoming checks, recovery items and agreed follow-up.
Illustrative reporting framework. Activity and reporting frequency depend on the agreed plan.
A managed service with defined responsibilities.
A clear agreement is more useful than an undefined promise of total protection.
| Area | Discussed in this service | Agreed separately when needed |
|---|---|---|
| Recurring checks | The tools, review activities and cadence listed in the agreement. | Additional systems, deeper testing or new integrations added later. |
| Maintenance | Included updates and configuration tasks with agreed approvals. | Feature development, major upgrades or extensive remediation outside the plan. |
| Incident response | Notification and triage responsibilities described in the scope. | Forensic investigation, large-scale recovery or emergency response unless explicitly included. |
Start with the support your site needs.
We can discuss recurring care once the setup and immediate priorities are understood.

Ongoing security,
explained clearly.
An effective agreement starts with shared expectations about the work and the people involved.
What is included in managed website security?
The agreement defines recurring checks, maintenance, backup review, reporting and escalation responsibilities. The exact scope depends on your platform, tools and existing providers.
Does this replace my hosting provider?
No. Hosting and managed website security cover different responsibilities. We identify provider boundaries and coordinate work where necessary.
Is support available around the clock?
Availability, response expectations and escalation routes must be agreed in writing. A managed plan should not be assumed to include a round-the-clock emergency service.
Can you work with my current developer?
Yes. We can discuss a shared workflow covering changes, approvals, reporting and the tasks that remain with the developer.
Are malware removal and major fixes included?
That depends on the agreement. Routine review, triage, cleanup and extensive recovery are different activities; the scope states what is included and what needs a separate quote.
Can the plan change as my website grows?
We can review the scope when your platform, traffic, integrations or business needs change. Any revised work and commercial terms are agreed before they apply.
