## WordPress security for companies that take no risks
For more than 12 years we have been protecting company websites from attacks, malware and outages as a WordPress agency. We secure over 150 active installations with firewall, monitoring, backups and fast response times. So that your website stays reachable and your data stays where it belongs.

## Why WordPress security must not be left to chance
WordPress powers more than 40 percent of all websites worldwide. This reach makes the system the preferred target of automated attacks. Bots check millions of installations around the clock for outdated plugins, weak passwords and known vulnerabilities. Those who get hit often only notice when Google warns or customers get in touch.
We secure your WordPress installation on several levels: from the server through the application to the login. We close known vulnerabilities before they are exploited, and in an emergency we restore your website within a very short time.

## What sets our WordPress protection apart
Our security concept is based on more than 12 years of experience with WordPress at system level. We know the typical entry points, work with specialised tools such as Patchstack and Cloudflare and check every installation against a fixed audit scheme.
Whether a one-off security check, the clean-up of a hacked website or permanent protection as part of our maintenance: together we define the right scope and take responsibility for the technical security of your website.
- Security audit: We check core, plugins, themes, server and access for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. The result is a prioritised action plan.
- Web application firewall: A firewall at network and application level filters malicious requests, blocks bots and stops brute-force attacks before they reach your website.
- Malware protection and clean-up: Regular scans detect malicious code, backdoors and manipulations. We clean infected websites completely and close the entry point that was used.
- Login and access protection: Two-factor authentication, roles with minimal rights, protected admin paths and limits on login attempts protect your access reliably.
- Encryption and hardening: SSL encryption, secure HTTP headers, disabled file editing and protected system files reduce the attack surface of your installation.
- Backups and recovery: Daily, decentralised backups in several locations with tested recoverability. In an emergency your website is back online in a short time.
- Security updates: We apply security-relevant updates for WordPress, plugins and themes in a controlled and timely manner. Known gaps are virtually patched until an update is available.
- Monitoring around the clock: Our systems monitor availability, integrity and suspicious activity in real time. In case of an incident we react immediately and keep you informed.

### WordPress security with system and responsibility
For more than 12 years we have been securing WordPress installations for corporations, start-ups, SMEs and public institutions. Our focus is on prevention, fast detection and a recovery that works when it matters. We do not see security as a single plugin but as a process with fixed responsibilities.
- Protection on several levels
- Response within minutes
- More than 12 years of experience
- Real-time monitoring
- Transparent reports
- Individual SLAs

### Protection starts in the tech stack
WordPress, Elementor, PHP, SSH, Github, Updraft Plus, AWS S3, Cloud Flare, UptimeRobot, Patchstack

## WordPress security with a plan
We do not see security as firefighting but as a structured process. Our five-stage model ensures that your website is checked, hardened, monitored and quickly restored in an emergency.

### 1. Security audit and risk analysis
We analyse your WordPress installation technically and organisationally. We check core, plugins, themes, server configuration, user roles and access for vulnerabilities. You receive a prioritised overview of the risks.

### 2. Immediate measures and hardening
We close critical gaps right away: outdated components, insecure access, missing encryption or exposed system files. The goal is a secure starting point on which all further measures build.

### 3. Setting up protection systems
We set up firewall, malware scanner, login protection, backups and monitoring. Every layer is tested, documented and tailored to your website.

### 4. Monitoring and updates
Our systems monitor your website around the clock. We apply security updates promptly and in a controlled way, and new vulnerabilities are virtually patched until an update is available.

### 5. Reporting and emergency plan
You receive regular reports on attacks, measures and system status. An agreed emergency plan defines who does what in an incident and how quickly your website is back online.

## More protection, less risk
Our clients do not choose a plugin but a team that sees attacks coming, closes vulnerabilities and takes responsibility in an emergency. What you get out of it:
- Response within minutes: In a security incident every minute counts. Our monitoring reports anomalies immediately, our team is prepared and starts the analysis without detours.
- More than 12 years of experience: We have been working with WordPress at system level for more than 12 years. We know the entry points and know which protective measures work and which only cost resources.
- Protection on several levels: Firewall, virtual patching, hardening, login protection, backups and monitoring interlock. If one layer fails, the next one catches the attack.
- Transparent reports: On request you receive monthly reports with blocked attacks, measures carried out and recommendations. This keeps security measurable for you.
- Individual SLAs: For business-critical websites we offer service level agreements with defined response and recovery times, aligned with your risk and your requirements.
- Data protection included: We implement all measures in compliance with the GDPR: encrypted backups, documented access and a permission concept based on the principle of least privilege.

## WordPress security, protection and recovery
A WordPress website is constantly exposed to attacks, regardless of its size or reputation. Automated scanners do not distinguish between a corporation and a craft business. They look for vulnerabilities and exploit them as soon as they find one.
As a WordPress agency we have been securing company websites for more than twelve years. Our WordPress security combines audit, hardening, firewall, monitoring and backups into a protection concept with dedicated contacts.

### How attacks on WordPress work
Most attacks on WordPress are not targeted but automated. Bots scan the web for installations with known vulnerabilities in plugins, themes or the core. As soon as a gap is found, it is exploited at scale within hours.
The most common entry points include:
• outdated plugins and themes with known vulnerabilities
• weak or reused passwords
• missing two-factor authentication
• insecure upload functions and forms
• faulty file and server permissions
• unmaintained test environments on the same server
• access of former service providers
The consequences range from spam redirects and phishing pages under your domain to complete data loss. Add to that warnings in Google, ranking losses and reputational damage that no update can fix.
Those who know the entry points can close them. This is exactly where our security audit starts.

### WordPress security without sleepless nights
We check, harden and monitor your website. With firewall, malware protection, backups and a team that reacts immediately in an emergency.

### What a professional WordPress security concept includes
A security plugin alone does not make a website secure. Protection arises when several layers interlock and someone takes responsibility for them.
Pageworkers secures WordPress websites on all relevant levels and monitors them continuously.
Depending on the agreed scope this includes:
• security audit with a prioritised action plan
• web application firewall and bot defence
• virtual patching of known vulnerabilities
• hardening of installation and server
• two-factor authentication and permission concept
• malware scans and integrity checks
• security updates for core, plugins and themes
• daily, decentralised backups with restore tests
• monitoring of availability and manipulations
• emergency plan and fixed response times
The result is permanent protection with transparent responsibilities and a contact who knows your website.

### Monitoring, backups and recovery
There is no such thing as absolute security. What matters is how quickly an incident is detected and how quickly the website is back online afterwards.
Our systems continuously check availability, loading time and file integrity. Manipulations, defacements and suspicious logins immediately trigger an alert that our team responds to.
We create backups daily and store them decentrally in several locations. A backup only helps if it is current, complete and can actually be restored. That is why we test the restore regularly.
In an incident we follow a fixed procedure: isolate the website, analyse the cause, remove malicious code, close the entry point, reset access, restore the website and have Google warnings lifted. You receive a report with all steps and recommendations.
The cost of WordPress security depends on the scope and importance of the website. A one-off security check is available at a fixed price, permanent protection is part of our maintenance packages. Relevant factors are:
• scope of the installation and number of plugins
• custom development and interfaces
• requirements for availability and response times
• scope of monitoring and reporting
• desired service level agreements
For company websites a permanent security concept is in most cases cheaper than the clean-up after an attack. An incident costs not only money for the recovery but also enquiries, revenue and trust.
Pageworkers takes over WordPress security, clean-up of hacked websites, hardening, monitoring and recovery for companies and organisations. Talk to us if you want to know how secure your website really is.

## Frequently asked questions about WordPress security
WordPress is the most widely used CMS in the world. That is exactly why it is the focus of automated attacks. Here we answer the most common questions about protection, cost and the process of our WordPress security services.

### 01. How secure is WordPress?
WordPress itself is a secure system that is continuously maintained by a large team. Most successful attacks exploit outdated plugins, weak passwords or faulty configurations. With regular updates, a firewall, protected access and monitoring the risk can be reduced to a very low level.

### 02. How do I recognise that my WordPress website has been hacked?
Typical signs are unknown redirects, foreign content or links, warnings in Google or the browser, suddenly slow loading times, unknown administrators or spam mails sent via your domain. Often, however, an attack goes unnoticed for a long time. A security audit brings certainty.

### 03. What to do if the website has been hacked?
First we preserve the current state for analysis, then we take the website out of the line of fire, remove malicious code and backdoors, close the entry point that was used and reset all access. Afterwards we request the removal of Google warnings if necessary and set up protection systems so that the incident does not repeat itself.

### 04. What does WordPress security cost?
A one-off security check with an action plan is available at a fixed price. Cleaning a hacked website depends on the extent of the damage. Permanent protection with firewall, monitoring, backups and updates is part of our maintenance packages and billed monthly. After the audit you receive a quote with fixed prices.

### 05. Is a security plugin enough?
A plugin is a building block but not a concept. It does not replace updates, a secure server configuration, tested backups or someone who reacts in an emergency. That is why we combine several layers: a firewall at the network edge, virtual patching, hardening of the installation, monitoring and fixed responsibilities.

### 06. How are logins protected?
We rely on two-factor authentication, individual user names, roles with minimal rights, limits on login attempts and a protected admin path. Access for service providers is limited in time and removed after the project ends.

### 07. Does Pageworkers also secure websites that were not built by Pageworkers?
Yes. We take over the protection of existing WordPress websites regardless of who built them. Before we start we check the installation as part of an audit and discuss with you which measures make sense.

### 08. What happens in case of an outage or data loss?
Our backups are made daily and stored decentrally in several locations, and they are regularly tested for recoverability. In an emergency we restore the last intact state. Depending on the agreement your website is back online within a few hours.
