Updates keep getting postponed
You need to know which changes matter, what they could affect and how to make them safely.
WordPress security services
WordPress security,
without the guesswork.
Understand the weak spots. Make safer changes. Get a practical security plan for the WordPress website your business depends on.
A review of the whole setupSoftware, access, hosting and recovery
Changes with a planAgreed priorities, staging and rollback
Clarity after the workDocumented findings and next steps
The small gaps are
hard to see from outside.
A working homepage does not tell you whether old accounts, unsupported extensions or recovery gaps are being looked after.
Too many people have admin access
Past contractors and shared logins can make account ownership difficult to track.
A backup exists, but nobody has restored it
Recovery needs a responsible person, usable copies and a plan for bringing the site back.
A security plugin leaves questions unanswered
Useful controls still need configuration, maintenance and someone who understands the wider setup.
Start with what’s worrying you.
Choose a concern to explore the review. Your focus follows you into the enquiry form, so you do not have to explain it twice.
More plugins should not mean more uncertainty.
Your extensions support important parts of the business. We review what is installed, what it depends on and where maintenance needs attention.
The result is a sensible update and hardening plan that accounts for forms, integrations and custom functionality.
What the review can cover
- Installed softwareWordPress core, plugins, themes and component ownership.
- Maintenance and exposureRelevant vulnerability notices, support status and update dependencies.
- A safer change planStaging, compatibility checks and rollback before agreed updates.
The right access, for the right people.
Old administrator accounts and broad permissions are easy to overlook. We examine who can change the site and how those accounts are protected.
Recommendations balance stronger authentication with the way your team and development partners work.
What the review can cover
- Account ownershipPrivileged users, unnecessary accounts and access that needs an owner.
- Login protectionMulti-factor authentication, recovery arrangements and relevant login controls.
- Practical permissionsRoles that reflect responsibilities, with removals agreed before changes.
A backup should come with a recovery plan.
We look at who owns your backups, what they contain and how restoration would be handled.
A controlled restore exercise can be included when agreed, with care for recent content, enquiries and orders.
What the review can cover
- Backup arrangementsCoverage, frequency, retention, storage and responsible contacts.
- Restore readinessAccess to usable copies and the steps for restoring an isolated environment.
- Recovery responsibilitiesWho makes the decision, what is checked and how the site returns to service.
Include the layer behind WordPress.
Hosting access and file controls are part of the same security picture. We review relevant settings alongside controls your provider manages.
Where a change belongs to your host or developer, the plan makes that dependency clear.
What the review can cover
- Hosting and file accessAccount permissions, transfer methods and ownership.
- ConfigurationRelevant WordPress settings, file controls and encrypted connections.
- Provider coordinationChanges that need hosting support, testing or separate authorization.
Choose a concern to carry it into your enquiry. This service guide does not scan or test your website.
Built around the way you use WordPress.
A brochure site, a membership platform and a busy store have different dependencies. The plan should reflect yours.
Business and lead-generation websites
Protect the access and integrations behind contact forms, bookings and the pages that bring enquiries.
Content and membership platforms
Account roles, publishing workflows and member access deserve attention alongside routine updates.
Teams with a development partner
We can coordinate agreed work with your developer or host and make ownership of the remaining tasks clear.

User access
Record administrator permissions and account ownership.
- 03
Recovery safeguards

Illustrative WordPress findings. Not a live scan or guarantee of security.
Know what is included before work starts.
The proposal defines the work. These distinctions help keep expectations clear.
| Area | Discussed in this service | Agreed separately when needed |
|---|---|---|
| Review and hardening | Agreed checks and the configuration changes listed in your proposal. | Custom development, major rebuilds or work outside the agreed environment. |
| Recovery readiness | Review of backup arrangements and recovery responsibilities. | A restore exercise or production migration if it is not included in the scope. |
| Ongoing care | A documented handover and recommended maintenance priorities. | Recurring monitoring, incident response or a continuing support agreement. |
The right support for where you are.
Start with a focused review or discuss ongoing protection. Scope and quote are tailored to your setup.

- Included hardening and documented handover
Ongoing website security

WordPress Security Checklist: 12 Practical Steps for Business Websites
WordPress security is not the result of installing one plugin. It comes from several layers working together: updates, controlled access, backups, and a clear plan…
Website Backup and Recovery Plan for Small Businesses
A backup is valuable only when it helps restore working services. Build your recovery plan around the website, database, integrations and people the business depends…
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Unsure what your site needs? Share the concern and we will help define a suitable next step.
What does the WordPress security service include?
A defined engagement can review core, plugins, themes, access, hosting settings and recovery arrangements. The exact checks, implementation work and handover are agreed before work starts.
Can you work on an existing live website?
Yes. We first discuss how it is used and identify important integrations. Staging, backups, testing and any maintenance window are planned where a change could affect functionality.
Do I need to share my password now?
No. A URL and a description are enough to enquire. If access is needed later, an appropriate method is arranged after scope and authorization are agreed.
Is a security plugin enough on its own?
A plugin can support specific controls. Software maintenance, permissions, hosting, backups and recovery planning still need attention. No setup can guarantee that a website is risk-free.
Can you help with WooCommerce or memberships?
We can discuss these setups. Checkout, member access, payment integrations and changing data need particular care during scoping and verification.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
The quote and timeline depend on site size, integrations, access and the work included. Proposed scope and commercial terms are confirmed before starting.
