Preventive hardening and incident recovery

Fix Website Security Services

We investigate the exposed routes, clean what can be evidenced and strengthen the website around the way the compromise or risk actually works.

  • Risk assessment
  • Controlled remediation
  • Post-work hardening

WHEN THIS FITS

When Website Security Is Needed

01

You want to reduce risk before anything happens

Review access, software, backups and protective controls before they are tested by an attacker.

02

The website is redirecting, defaced or behaving strangely

Preserve evidence, identify affected components and plan a controlled cleanup.

03

A host or search engine has flagged the site

Investigate the reported issue, remediate the website and prepare the relevant review steps.

What Website Security Work Covers

Security work has two routes: proactive hardening and incident recovery. Both start with evidence, protected backups and an agreed boundary of responsibility.

  • Website and WordPress security audits
  • Administrator and user-access review
  • Core, theme and plugin vulnerability remediation
  • Login protection and firewall configuration
  • Malware and malicious-code removal
  • Hacked website recovery
  • Blacklist and Safe Browsing remediation support
  • Backup, monitoring and hardening recommendations

CHOOSE THE RIGHT ROUTE

Security Hardening and Hacked-Site Recovery: Choose the Scope

01

Preventive security hardening

For a working site with no known incident: review privileged users, updates, vulnerable components, backups, login controls, file permissions and protective layers.

02

Malware removal and recovery

For redirects, injected pages, unknown users or altered files: preserve a working copy, identify the affected areas, remove malicious persistence and close the evidenced entry route.

03

Warnings and reinfection

For hosting suspensions, Safe Browsing warnings or repeated compromise: investigate the underlying site and account state before requesting reviews or simply restoring another backup.

WHAT IS COVERED

Types of Website Security Work

01

WordPress malware removal

Website security work that finds and removes the injected files, database entries and rogue admin accounts, then confirms the site is clean rather than just quiet.

02

Website security hardening

Preventive website security: file permissions, admin access, login protection, version currency and the configuration mistakes that make the next attempt easy.

03

Vulnerability patching

Website security patching for outdated core, themes and plugins, applied in a tested order so the fix does not take the site down with it.

04

Website security monitoring

Ongoing website security monitoring so a change, a new file or a blocklisting is noticed by us rather than reported by a customer.

THE SECURITY WORK

Preserve evidence, remove the cause, then harden.

  1. 01

    Contain and preserve

    We confirm access and backup options, preserve a copy where possible and avoid destroying evidence needed to understand the incident.

  2. 02

    Investigate the exposure

    Files, database content, privileged users, software versions and available logs are reviewed according to the symptoms and hosting access.

  3. 03

    Clean and remediate

    Agreed malicious changes and persistence are removed, compromised access is reset and vulnerable components are patched, replaced or isolated.

  4. 04

    Verify and harden

    Behaviour is retested, protective controls are strengthened and remaining risks, monitoring and review requests are documented.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Website Security Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be hacked before requesting security help?

No. Proactive reviews and hardening are often safer and less expensive than incident recovery.

Can you guarantee a website will never be hacked?

No credible provider can. We reduce identifiable risk, remediate agreed issues and explain the controls that still require ongoing maintenance.

Can you remove malware from WordPress?

Yes, after reviewing the site, hosting access, available backups and the signs of compromise.

Will you help with Google Safe Browsing warnings?

We can investigate and remediate the website, then support the review request once the site is in an appropriate state.

What access is needed for website malware removal?

The useful starting point is normally hosting control-panel or server access, website administrator access, the domain name and any security alert received. Database, SFTP or CDN access may also be needed after triage.

Is restoring a clean backup enough after a website hack?

A clean backup can accelerate recovery, but restoring it without addressing the vulnerable component, stolen credential or exposed access route can allow the compromise to return.
