Most Sites Aren’t Hacked by Genius Attackers. They’re Hacked by Neglected Basics.

I’ve cleaned up enough compromised sites to say this confidently. Old plugins, weak admin hygiene, bad file permissions, and no tested restore path are the usual causes. Fancy security plugins don’t fix weak operational discipline.

Outdated plugin risk

One abandoned plugin can become your easiest breach vector.

No tested backups

Backups exist, but restore fails when you actually need them.

No response plan

When something breaks, teams lose hours deciding what to do first.

How We Run Security Projects

01

Assess

I map weak points in code, plugins, access, and infrastructure.

02

Prioritize

Rank fixes by breach risk and business impact, not fear.

03

Harden

I apply controls and remove risky components in phases.

04

Prepare

You get monitoring, restore checks, and clear incident playbooks.

// proof_and_outcomes

Example Outcome

A membership site with 40+ plugins had repeated intrusion attempts and zero restore confidence. Plugin count was cut by 38%, admin and file rules hardened, and a full restore drill ran successfully. Response time for security alerts dropped from hours to minutes.

Lower breach risk from common attack paths Faster response when incidents happen Confidence that backup and recovery are real Reduced plugin count and attack surface Hardened admin and file permissions Documented incident response playbook

FAQs

Have a question not listed here? Get in touch and I’ll respond within 24 hours.

Do you offer emergency malware cleanup?

Yes, if schedule allows. Emergency response is billed separately from planned hardening work.

Do we need expensive security plugins?

Usually no. Better configuration and hygiene beat adding another plugin layer you don’t manage.

Can you coordinate with our host?

Yes. I regularly coordinate with hosting support for firewall, backup, and server hardening tasks.
