WordPress Security

Protect the
website behind
the screen.

WordPress security is about protecting the complete website environment — from administrator access and plugins to configuration, forms, databases and the software that powers your site.

Security is
a system.

WordPress websites can have many connected entry points. Security work looks at the different areas that can affect the integrity and availability of the website.

Protection Layers

Security from
the inside out.

A WordPress security strategy can involve several layers. Each layer addresses a different part of the website environment and helps reduce avoidable security weaknesses.

01

WordPress Core

Review WordPress core versions and update requirements while checking compatibility with the existing website.

CORE SECURITY
02

Plugins & Themes

Review installed extensions, outdated components, unnecessary software and configuration concerns.

SOFTWARE
03

Administrator Access

Review user accounts, permissions, administrator access and other controls around the WordPress dashboard.

ACCESS
04

Files & Configuration

Check important configuration areas and file-level concerns that may affect the security of the installation.

SYSTEM
05

Monitoring & Recovery

Establish practical monitoring, backups and recovery considerations for maintaining website continuity.

RESILIENCE
Security Audit

Find the weak point before someone else does.

A security review looks beyond a single plugin or setting. We can inspect the WordPress installation and identify areas that deserve attention based on the website's configuration, software and access structure.

WordPress security services

WordPress security involves protecting the website's software, administrator accounts, configuration, files, database and connected services. Because WordPress websites can use many plugins, themes and third-party integrations, security should be considered across the complete website environment.

A WordPress security review can help identify outdated components, unnecessary access, configuration concerns and other areas that may require attention. Security measures can then be selected according to the website's functionality, hosting environment and operational requirements.

WebProxima provides WordPress security services for businesses that need help reviewing, hardening and maintaining their WordPress websites. Security work can also be combined with WordPress maintenance, development, migration and plugin-related services.
