Small business websites get hacked far more often than owners realise — usually through automated attacks, not targeted ones. A few basic steps prevent the vast majority of problems.
The Essentials
- SSL certificate — encrypts data and shows the padlock.
- Strong passwords & 2FA — the simplest, most effective defence.
- Regular updates — outdated plugins and themes are the #1 entry point.
- Backups — so you can recover quickly if something goes wrong.
- A security plugin or firewall — blocks common attacks.
The Biggest Risk: Neglect
Most hacks happen on sites no one is maintaining. If your WordPress site hasn't been updated in months, it's vulnerable right now.
Our website maintenance plans handle updates, backups and security monitoring for you.
