Security Audit & Hardening

The most common breach is not clever. It is a backup archive left in the web root at a guessable filename.

Built with proven, modern technology

What is included

Everything you need. Nothing you do not.

What is actually exposed

Backups, dumps, config files, admin panels and directory listings reachable from outside.

Software and dependencies

Outdated core, plugins and libraries with published vulnerabilities.

Headers and transport

HSTS, content-type, frame options, SSL configuration and mixed content.

Access and credentials

Default passwords, shared logins, and admin accounts that should have been removed.

Built properly

Made to last. Not just launched.

Most sites are not attacked by anyone who chose them. They are found by a scanner trying the same two hundred paths on every domain it can reach — /wp-login.php, /backup.zip, /config.php.bak, /.env. What it finds decides what happens next.

What is actually exposed

Backups, dumps, config files, admin panels and directory listings reachable from outside.

Fixed, not just reported

A list of problems is half a service. We close them and re-test.

Re-checked later

Because a site hardened once drifts back within a year of ordinary changes.

Questions

Security Audit & Hardening — FAQ

We are a small business — why would anyone target us?
They would not. Automated scanners try every domain they can reach and take whatever is open. Being small makes you less interesting and no less reachable.
What is the most common problem you find?
A backup archive in the web root, and an admin panel with the password it shipped with. Both are found by scanners within days of appearing.
Do you fix what you find, or just report it?
We fix it. A report that leaves you to solve it is only useful if you already had somebody who could.
