WordPress Security
WordPress security — protection at the server, application, and hosting level
WordPress security doesn't end with installing a security plugin. Most breaches result not from WordPress itself, but from misconfigured servers, outdated software, weak passwords, unnecessary services on open ports, and a lack of proactive hosting security. Tools like Wordfence or Sucuri are helpful, but used alone — without proper server and hosting configuration — they provide a false sense of security. We approach WordPress protection in layers.
ServerServer hardening & firewall
Security starts at the OS level — not at the plugin level. We configure firewalls, close unused ports, restrict SSH to key-based access, disable unnecessary services, deploy fail2ban, and monitor system logs. Proactive server configuration eliminates most attack vectors before they reach WordPress.
HostingHosting service security
Hosting requires thorough configuration that most providers don't perform by default. We verify account isolation, file permissions, PHP configuration (open_basedir, disable_functions), HTTP security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS), TLS version, and SSL cipher suites.
ApplicationWordPress-level security
We implement WordPress security measures: login attempt limiting, two-factor authentication (2FA), default path changes (wp-login, xmlrpc), file editing disabled from admin panel, WordPress/PHP version hiding, user enumeration blocking.
WAFApplication firewall & attack protection
We install and configure a WAF — not as the only security measure, but as a layer complementing server protection. We block brute-force attacks, SQL injection, XSS, file inclusion, and malicious bots. A plugin without server configuration is a lock on a door without walls.
MonitoringMalware scanning & incident response
Daily WordPress scanning for malware, backdoors, SEO spam, and unauthorized file changes. Core and plugin file integrity monitoring. In case of infection — we locate the source, remove malicious code, restore the site, and implement preventive measures.
AuditWordPress & hosting security audit
Comprehensive security audit covering the WordPress site, hosting service, and server configuration. We check file permissions, PHP config, HTTP headers, SSL certificate, backup policies, and plugin/theme vulnerabilities. We deliver a report with prioritized recommendations.
