Most hacked websites aren't targeted. They're just unmaintained.

Automated bots scan millions of WordPress sites around the clock, looking for known weaknesses. When they find one, the result can be a defaced homepage, spam links that sink your Google ranking, stolen customer data, or a site your host takes offline.

You shouldn’t have to become a security expert to run your business. That’s our job. We provide the WordPress security services you need to keep your business protected.

Outdated plugins

Plugins are where most WordPress vulnerabilities are found. An update left undone is an open door.

Weak or reused passwords

Bots try thousands of password combinations against login pages every day.

No working backup

Without a recent off-site backup, one hack or bad update can take your site down for days.

Nobody watching

Many owners learn they've been hacked from a customer, or from a Google warning.

How we protect your site

Three ways to work with us, depending on where your site is today.

Security & care plans

Monthly updates, malware scans, backups, firewall, and uptime monitoring, with a plain-English report.

Hacked site cleanup

Malware, spam redirects, or a Google warning? We clean it up, close the hole, and help clear blocklists.

Free security check

We review your site from the outside, the way an attacker sees it, and send you a short report.

How getting started works

  1. Free security check

    We review your site from the outside and share what we find, with no obligation.

  2. Onboarding

    You sign a simple service agreement and give us WordPress access. We take a full backup before we change anything.

  3. Hardening

    We lock down logins, remove risky or unused plugins, fix unsafe settings, and switch on monitoring.

  4. Ongoing care

    Every month we update, scan, back up, and send your report. If something looks wrong, we act and tell you.
