WordPress Is the Most Targeted CMS on the Internet

WordPress powers 43% of all websites β€” which makes it the primary target for automated hack attempts, brute-force attacks, plugin vulnerabilities, and malware injections. Most hacks aren't targeted; they're automated bots scanning for known weaknesses.


The good news: the vast majority of WordPress hacks are entirely preventable with proper security hardening. Our WordPress security services eliminate the vulnerabilities attackers exploit β€” before they exploit them.

WordPress Security Threats We Protect Against

Understanding what attackers target helps you understand why professional WordPress security hardening is essential.

πŸ”“

Brute Force Attacks

Automated bots attempt thousands of username/password combinations per minute. Without rate limiting and login protection, your WordPress admin is vulnerable to credential stuffing and dictionary attacks.

πŸ”Œ

Plugin Vulnerabilities

Outdated or poorly coded plugins are the #1 entry point for WordPress hacks. With 59,000+ plugins in the repository, vulnerabilities are discovered constantly β€” and exploited by automated scanners within hours of disclosure.

πŸ’‰

SQL Injection & XSS

Attackers inject malicious code into database queries or page inputs to steal data, create backdoors, or deface your site. Proper input sanitization and a Web Application Firewall (WAF) block these attacks at the perimeter.

🦠

Malware & Backdoors

Once inside, attackers plant malware and hidden backdoors that survive cleanup attempts. Professional malware removal requires scanning all files, database tables, and theme/plugin directories β€” not just a surface-level scan.

πŸ“§

Spam & Phishing Injection

Hackers use compromised WordPress sites to send spam, host phishing pages, or redirect visitors to malicious URLs β€” getting your domain blacklisted by Google, email providers, and browsers, destroying your reputation overnight.

⚑

DDoS Attacks

Distributed denial-of-service attacks flood your WordPress site with traffic until it crashes, taking your business offline. CDN-level DDoS protection and rate limiting prevent malicious traffic from ever reaching your server.

Our WordPress Security Service Suite

From emergency malware removal to proactive hardening and ongoing monitoring β€” complete WordPress security coverage.

🦠

WordPress Malware Removal

Emergency malware scanning, identification, and complete removal β€” including hidden backdoors, injected scripts, and database-level infections. We clean every file, restore your Google standing, and harden against reinfection.

πŸ”’

WordPress Security Hardening

Comprehensive hardening of your WordPress installation β€” removing default admin usernames, disabling file editing, securing wp-config.php, limiting login attempts, hiding the WordPress version, and locking down file permissions.

πŸ”₯

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Enterprise-grade WAF configuration that filters malicious traffic before it reaches your WordPress site. We configure Cloudflare or Wordfence rules specific to your site's traffic patterns, blocking SQL injection, XSS, and bad bot traffic.

πŸ“‘

24/7 Security Monitoring

Continuous scanning for malware, unauthorised file changes, new admin users, and suspicious login attempts. When a threat is detected, our team is alerted immediately and responds before damage escalates.

πŸ”

Two-Factor Authentication Setup

2FA implementation for all admin and editor accounts β€” adding a critical second layer of protection against credential theft. We configure and test 2FA across your entire WordPress user base including editor and contributor roles.

πŸ”

WordPress Security Audit

A full security audit of your WordPress installation β€” reviewing plugin vulnerabilities, theme file integrity, user permissions, database access, server configuration, and SSL setup. Delivered as an actionable report with prioritised fixes.

πŸ”‘

SSL Certificate Management

SSL setup, renewal, and monitoring for your WordPress site. We configure HTTPS correctly across all pages, fix mixed content warnings, and set up automatic renewal β€” ensuring your site never shows "Not Secure" to visitors or browsers.

🌐

Google Blacklist Removal

If your site has been blacklisted by Google, Safe Browsing, or other security databases, we clean the malware, submit for review, and manage the reinstatement process β€” restoring your search visibility and protecting visitor trust.

What Our WordPress Security Hardening Covers

Every WordPress security hardening engagement follows a comprehensive checklist developed over 12+ years of securing WordPress installations.

Change default admin username and enforce strong password policy
Enable two-factor authentication on all admin accounts
Limit login attempts and block repeated failed login IPs
Hide WordPress login page URL from default /wp-admin
Disable XML-RPC if not required (common attack vector)
Remove default admin user ID 1 (enumeration prevention)
Secure wp-config.php with correct file permissions
Disable file editing from within the WordPress dashboard
Configure Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules
Update all WordPress core, plugins, and themes to latest versions
Remove unused plugins and themes from the installation
Configure automated daily backups with off-site storage
Set up SSL/HTTPS and enforce HTTPS redirects sitewide
Configure security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, CSP)
Enable database table prefix randomisation
Implement user role audit β€” remove unnecessary admin access

What Determines Your WordPress Security Project Scope

WordPress security is not a one-size-fits-all service. The depth and urgency of the work depends on your site's current exposure, the nature of any existing threats, and your risk profile going forward.

🚨

Emergency vs Proactive Engagement

Emergency malware removal and post-breach recovery requires immediate, intensive forensic work β€” scanning every file and database table, tracing the infection vector, cleaning all compromised files, and hardening against reinfection. Proactive hardening on a clean site is substantially less time-intensive and far more cost-effective.

πŸ”Œ

Plugin Stack Risk Profile

Sites with large numbers of third-party plugins β€” particularly nulled, outdated, or poorly maintained plugins β€” carry higher vulnerability exposure. Auditing and remedying a high-risk plugin stack requires more time than hardening a lean, well-maintained site with a small plugin footprint.

🏒

Site Size & eCommerce Complexity

WooCommerce stores that handle payment data and customer PII require more extensive security configuration β€” additional PCI-related hardening, database encryption considerations, user data access controls, and more rigorous WAF rule management than a standard brochure site.

πŸ‘₯

Number of Users & Roles

Sites with multiple admin users, editors, contributors, and customers require more thorough user role auditing, 2FA rollout, password policy enforcement, and access logging. More user access points mean more potential breach vectors to secure.

🌐

Hosting & Server Environment

Security hardening scope varies significantly between shared hosting, VPS, and managed WordPress hosting. Shared hosting environments have limited server-level configuration access, while dedicated or VPS environments allow deeper OS-level and firewall configuration β€” which takes more time to set up correctly.

πŸ“‹

Compliance & Regulatory Requirements

Healthcare sites (HIPAA), financial services, and organisations handling EU data (GDPR) require security configurations that go beyond standard WordPress hardening. Compliance-oriented security engagements are scoped to meet the specific regulatory standard applicable to your organisation and jurisdiction.

Every security engagement starts with a free WordPress security audit β€” identifying your specific vulnerabilities before we scope the work.

WordPress Security Questions Answered

My WordPress site was hacked β€” what do I do? +

Contact us immediately for emergency WordPress malware removal. In the meantime, take your site offline if possible, change all passwords (WordPress, hosting, FTP, database), and revoke any suspicious admin users. Our team responds within hours and will clean, restore, and harden your site against reinfection.

How do I know if my WordPress site has malware? +

Signs include: Google showing a "This site may be hacked" warning, unexpected redirects to spammy websites, Google Search Console malware alerts, your hosting company suspending your account, new admin users you didn't create, or sudden unexplained drops in traffic.

What is WordPress security hardening? +

WordPress security hardening is the process of configuring your WordPress installation to minimize its attack surface. This includes securing admin access, restricting file permissions, disabling unused features like XML-RPC, implementing a firewall, and following security best practices that make your site significantly harder to breach.

How much does WordPress security cost? +

WordPress security investment scales with the complexity of your site, your risk profile, and the level of ongoing protection required. One-time hardening engagements, emergency malware removal, and ongoing monitoring plans are all scoped differently. We assess your site's specific vulnerabilities and threat exposure before quoting β€” ensuring you only pay for the protection your site actually needs. Contact us for a free security assessment.

Will security measures slow down my WordPress site? +

Properly implemented security measures have negligible impact on performance. Some security configurations (like WAF at the CDN level) can actually improve performance by blocking bot traffic before it hits your server. We ensure all security implementations are optimised for both protection and speed.

Do you offer ongoing WordPress security monitoring? +

Yes. Our WordPress maintenance plans include continuous security monitoring, regular malware scanning, firewall management, and immediate response to threats. This is the most cost-effective way to keep your WordPress site permanently protected without reactive firefighting.
