Website Security
Website security checklist
- Are your passwords strong?
- Is your website’s software up to date?
- Is your website’s server software up to date?
- Is your website using encryption to protect data?
- Is your website regularly scanned, monitored and backed up?
Why does my website need security?
We’ve seen it many times, and often new clients contact us after their website has already been compromised, resulting in data loss, their website being offline, being black-listed by search engines, or all of the above.
Often clients don’t realise their website has been compromised, because their website runs like normal while it’s being used by hackers to host fake web pages that steal people’s data, or to send out fake emails in the background.
Once search engines notice that your website has been compromised, your website could also be removed from search engines, be marked as ‘This website may be hacked’ or blocked by anti-virus software when someone tries to visit your website.
Whether you’re being proactive to protect your website and its data, or your website has already been compromised, we can assist with your website’s security. We can review all aspects of your website to identify vulnerabilities and recommend the best security options.
