Protect access and recovery
Reduce common risks and respond clearly when a website shows signs of compromise.
When the site shows a security warning
- The website may be infected
- Unknown users or files have appeared
- Security warnings are visible
- The business needs stronger protection
Security Review
Check users, software, files, access points, and visible indicators of compromise.
Practical Hardening
Improve appropriate settings, updates, access controls, and backups.
Recovery Guidance
Explain cleanup, credential changes, and follow-up monitoring when an incident occurs.
Security work begins with the website's software, access, backups, and any incident symptoms. We distinguish routine hardening from an active compromise, since an infected site needs evidence preservation, cleanup, and verification before regular maintenance resumes.
The work can include reducing unnecessary access, addressing vulnerable components, checking backup recovery, and documenting the route for future warnings. If the site was compromised, we also review what allowed the change and how to monitor for a repeat.
How the Work Proceeds
- Document symptoms and access
- Review the website and account
- Complete approved cleanup or hardening
- Verify the website and explain follow-up work
Frequently Asked Questions
Will installing a security plugin solve it?
A tool may help detect or block some activity, but account access, updates, backups, and the underlying code still matter.
What should happen first when a website may be compromised?
Preserve evidence and a recoverable copy, restrict unauthorized access, and identify the affected files, accounts, database entries, or redirects before cleaning.
Is deleting the visible malware enough?
Usually not. The entry point, unauthorized users, vulnerable components, and persistence mechanisms also need review or the problem may return.
Will the website be checked after cleanup?
Yes. Public pages, forms, administrative access, redirects, security warnings, and important customer paths should be tested after the cleanup.
Should every password be changed immediately?
Relevant credentials should be rotated in a controlled order, including hosting, website administration, database, SFTP, and connected services when they may be exposed.
