Most sites get compromised because nobody was watching.
Security isn't something you bolt on at the end. By the time you think about it, the door is usually already open.
Most security breaches don't involve sophisticated attacks — they exploit outdated software, weak credentials and misconfigured servers left unattended. A methodical security audit finds these gaps before they're exploited, prioritises fixes by actual risk level and leaves you with a clear picture of what to do next.
What's included
-
Security audits
Web application and server-level audits that find real vulnerabilities — not a checkbox scan that misses the obvious.
-
SSL/TLS setup & management
Correct configuration, automated renewal and ongoing certificate management across all domains.
-
Malware scanning & removal
Detection, clean removal and root cause analysis — so the infection doesn't come back.
-
WordPress hardening
Permissions, login security, plugin audit, admin lockdown — reducing the attack surface systematically.
-
Server hardening
Firewall rules, SSH configuration, unnecessary service removal and access control reviewed and tightened.
-
Vulnerability assessments
Prioritised findings documented in plain language — what was found, the risk level and what to fix first.
-
Post-breach forensics
When the worst happens: damage assessment, clean-up, root cause identification and gap closure.
-
Ongoing monitoring packages
Continuous scanning, alert handling and rapid response on a monthly retainer.
Technologies & platforms
How we approach it
-
Scoping
Define the scope: web application, server infrastructure, specific components or the full stack.
-
Reconnaissance & scanning
Automated and manual scanning to map the attack surface and surface candidates for deeper investigation.
-
Vulnerability assessment
Manual verification of findings, false positive filtering and impact assessment against your specific environment.
-
Remediation
Fixes applied in order of risk priority, with retesting to confirm each vulnerability is closed.
-
Plain-language summary
Findings documented with risk level, impact, remediation taken and recommendations for ongoing security hygiene.
The uWeb angle
What we do differently.
Our findings are documented in plain language — not a 40-page PDF designed to justify the invoice. You'll know exactly what was found, what we fixed and what to do next.
