Letting your WordPress website be secured, how does it work?

Securing your WordPress website is important but can also be daunting.
So, what happens to your website?
What do we expect from you?
Does security come with limitations?
Who can access my website?

Time for answers!

What happens when you sign up for securing your WordPress website?

  • First, we create a backup of your website.
  • Then, we connect your website to a monitoring program that allows us to monitor your website, perform daily malware scans, and check the Google status.
  • We evaluate the security of your website based on the plugins and theme you’re using. Are they up-to-date and considered secure?
  • We check the files on the server for any existing malware and backdoors, which we carefully remove.
  • If necessary, we also scan the entire database for iFrames, base64, and backdoors.
  • Once we are confident that everything is secure, we activate a security program tailored to your website.
  • In the final steps, we check the functionality of the website for any irregularities, ensuring that all plugins work properly after the updates.

In 90% of cases, everything goes smoothly, and there are no visual or functional changes caused by the security measures.
In short, you won’t experience any disadvantages from the security measures 😉

In fact, your website usually becomes slightly faster, especially if there was active malware. Malware puts a strain on the server and often initiates multiple processes before your website fully loads, causing delays.

What do we expect from you?

We only need the FTP credentials to examine the server. If you have custom code, we’d appreciate it if you or your web designer could inform us so that we can handle that code with extra care.
That’s all we expect from you.
If you can’t find the FTP information right away, we can help you retrieve it. Often, the web host or your web developer will have the server information.

Does securing your WordPress website come with limitations?

No, we ensure that you only enjoy the benefits of security and that it doesn’t limit your website.
We make it difficult for hackers and malware, but we do so in ways that don’t restrict the functioning of your website.

Of course, you have the freedom to choose which plugins you use.

We simply advise against using too many plugins, and if there’s an insecure plugin, we’ll assist you in finding an alternative or a way to continue using it securely.

Who can access my website?

Only WPbeveiligen.
As the owner of WPbeveiligen, I have access to the data, and in some cases, a trusted staff member assists with additional checks and updates.

Your data remains protected and stays with us.
Safety first!

You can confidently trust WPbeveiligen to secure your WordPress website.

Is WordPress security really necessary?

/0 Comments/in

WordPress security may seem unnecessary to many website owners, after all… there are millions of websites built with WordPress, right?! Does that mean they are all insecure? Read now whether WordPress security is necessary or unnecessary for your WordPress websites.

WordPress itself is secure

WordPress itself is kept incredibly secure and up-to-date by a team of professionals. WordPress itself is not a security risk as long as you keep it updated!

The problem lies in the plugins..

The plugins

The plugins pose the risk. Plugins are created by different individuals, and not everyone has received a high level of programming education.

As more plugins are used, the risk of errors in the code also increases.

Hackers

Hackers are constantly looking for ways to infect websites with malware, advertisements, and primarily links to their own products or services. This is known as black-hat SEO.

The question again, is WordPress security necessary?

This depends on the number of plugins you use. If you use 3 and keep them up-to-date, your website doesn’t carry much risk.
But if you use 10, 20, 30, or even 40 plugins… then you need to take certain measures to prevent hackers from easily gaining access.

Managing security yourself or outsourcing?

You can manage security yourself or outsource it. Whether you manage it yourself or outsource it depends on several factors:

Securing your WordPress website yourself

If you have a simple informational website.
If you use a few plugins, maximum 5-8.
If you keep them properly updated.
If you use strong passwords.
If you don’t give just anyone access to your website.
If you have a security plugin like iThemes Security OR Sucuri OR WordFence installed.
If you have a good web host.

In this case, things can go well for years without any problems or malware.

Having your WordPress website secured by professionals

Do you have an online shop? Do you offer services and products? Do you have a contact form, quote form? In short, do people enter important information on your website?
Are you heavily dependent on your website for income? Do you have a reputation to maintain?
In other words, are you a medium-sized to large company?

In that case, it is best to have your WordPress website professionally secured.
The costs of a hack, of a damaged Google reputation, outweigh the relatively small monthly amount you pay for the security and maintenance of your website.

Secure and maintain your website with the following security and maintenance measures:

  • Controlled updates – Periodic and immediate for known vulnerabilities
  • Professional security – Through a good firewall, proper configuration
  • Monitoring – User activity, messages, uptime
  • Recovery guarantee – No costs if a vulnerable plugin causes issues
  • Backups – Daily backup to an external data vault
  • Question and answer – Technical support
  • Debugging – In case of plugin or theme conflicts

I have no money this month, now what?

/0 Comments/in ,

It is not a problem if you pay a month late.

Just let us know when a payment fails so we can give you enough time to pay and avoid collection or reminder fees.

When will I receive the first invoice?

The first invoice is issued 7-14 days after the request.

Why not immediately?
We begin working on your request immediately, but we require time for the necessary checks, both daily and weekly. Once everything has been verified and deemed in order, we will send out the invoice.

Do I pay in advance or afterwards?
