Threat Landscape
Brute force, SQL injection, XSS, file inclusion — the attack vectors every WordPress site owner should understand.
Every WordPress site faces thousands of automated login attempts monthly. Server-level protection stops them before they reach WordPress.
DDoS attacks cost UK SMEs an average of £8,000. Small businesses are targeted more than you'd think.
AI tools are enabling less sophisticated attackers to run more effective attacks. What's changed and how to respond.
Most WordPress attacks are automated, opportunistic, and constant. UK businesses are particularly vulnerable.
Infrastructure Security
On shared hosting without isolation, one compromised neighbour can access your files. Here's how isolation prevents that.
A WAF screens every request at the door — blocking SQL injection, XSS, and WordPress-specific exploits before they reach your site.
How vulnerabilities are discovered, disclosed, and exploited — and what managed hosting does about it.
The window between patch release and active exploitation can be under 24 hours. Manual update processes can't keep up.
The average hacked WordPress site had 6 outdated plugins. How to evaluate, audit, and maintain your plugin stack.
Data & Compliance
Your hosting provider is a data processor under GDPR. What that means, what a DPA must include, and why UK data residency matters.
Most WordPress data security discussions focus on plugins and code. The hosting environment is where most risk actually lives.
85% of online shoppers avoid non-HTTPS sites. Here's what correct SSL configuration actually requires.
Recovery & Audit
A step-by-step recovery guide: confirm the compromise, contain it, clean it, and prevent reinfection.
Backups are the last line of defence, not the first. The distinction matters — and too many site owners get it wrong.
The 3-2-1 rule, right backup frequency, retention period, storage location, and why testing matters as much as running them.
A structured way to assess your site's defences — no technical expertise required. Works for any UK business website.
Security built in, not bolted on
Server-level WAF, malware scanning, brute force protection, container isolation, and DDoS mitigation — included on every plan.
