Website security is an important aspect of maintaining your website. Some of the things involved will be a one-time thing and then you will need regular monitoring and website maintenance. We specialize in WordPress security, but if you have another CMS we can still secure it for you. If you require a more in-depth security program, please let us know and we can create a custom plan for you.
Why Do We Have an Interest in Website Security? – We Specialize in SEO and Part of that Means to Keep Your Website Safe and Secure
Since we are an SEO Company we see the importance of maintaining a website in order to prevent possible security breaches. As part of this, sometimes threats fall through the cracks as nothing is ever 100% secure. If you have been hacked, let us know and we will provide you fo a detailed analysis of the damage and create a clean up / removal plan for you. We will also keep SEO in mind. Part of our plan will include letting Google, antivirus, antispam and other search engines know to remove a hack warning if they have placed one. We will:
- Email popular antivirus software companies like Symantec and Mc Afee. These antivirus programs may be preventing people from visiting your website
- Contact spam blacklist publishers (SBL) a request to remove your website. Being found in a spam blacklist, or SBL can hamper your ability to send out email campaigns to your customers or clients
- Reach out to your preferred email provider and let them know of your security breach. This way they will know you did not intentionally spam people. Our team will resolve this for you so that you will be able to send out email campaigns once again
What is Included in a WordPress Security Package?
Here is a shortlist of some things that we do when we take on a security project. We will first run a scan on your website to identify any type of immediate threats or vulnerabilities. If threats are found, we will assess the damage and make the necessary adjustments in order to remove them. Then we will put the following measures in place to make your website less vulnerable to attacks. In rare cases, the damage will be so severe that you will need a new domain. We offer domain services for your convenience, but this is the last resort.
