Why WordPress security needs a plan
A security plugin isn't a security strategy
WordPress powers 43% of the web, which makes it a constant target for automated attacks. A single security plugin catches the obvious stuff, but B2B sites handling client data, portals, or procurement information need a layered approach: hardening at the server and application level, a real WAF, ongoing scanning, and a compliance posture that holds up under scrutiny.
We build security in as infrastructure, not an add-on: minimal plugin footprint, enforced 2FA, WAF, and regular penetration testing for client-facing portals.
Hardened
At the server and application layer
Monitored
Daily scans, not periodic checks
Tested
Regular penetration testing on portals
Compliant
GDPR tooling built in, not bolted on
What's included
A layered defence for client-facing WordPress sites
WordPress Hardening
XML-RPC disabled, login attempts limited, file editing locked, admin 2FA enforced.
WAF Configuration
A Web Application Firewall configured to block common attack patterns before they reach WordPress.
Malware Scanning & Monitoring
Daily automated scans with alerts, so compromises are caught in hours, not weeks.
Penetration Testing
Regular pen testing on client-facing portals to catch vulnerabilities before attackers do.
GDPR Compliance Tooling
Cookie consent, data retention policies, and export/deletion tooling for right-to-access requests.
SSO & Role-Based Access
SAML/OAuth single sign-on through your identity provider, plus granular role-based permissions.
FAQ
Common questions about WordPress security
Our hardening stack: disabling XML-RPC, limiting login attempts, enforcing two-factor authentication for admin accounts, minimising the plugin footprint, keeping core and plugins on auto-update, and configuring a Web Application Firewall (Cloudflare or WP-specific) in front of the site. We also run daily malware scans and disable file editing from the WordPress admin.
Yes. We implement cookie consent management, data processing agreements for third-party integrations, configurable data retention policies, and user data export/deletion tooling to meet GDPR's right-to-access and right-to-erasure requirements. We'll also review your current data flows to flag any compliance gaps.
Yes. For B2B portals handling sensitive data, we implement SAML or OAuth-based single sign-on so your clients or team can authenticate through your existing identity provider (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace) instead of managing separate WordPress credentials. We can also add IP whitelisting for an extra layer of access control.
If you're on one of our maintenance retainers, we run daily malware scans and automated backups, so we can typically identify and roll back a compromise within hours. If you're not currently a client, we offer emergency incident response: isolating the breach, restoring from a clean backup, patching the vulnerability that was exploited, and hardening the site against a repeat.
