How do you handle security and data protection?
Our Client’s Website
We use a comprehensive, two-layer security approach to ensure the safety and integrity of our client’s websites. This approach combines server-side protection with WordPress-specific security measures to provide robust defence against cyber threats.
1. Server-Side Security
Our hosting environment is protected by Imunify360, a state-of-the-art security solution designed to safeguard websites in real-time. It includes:
- Advanced malware detection and removal, ensuring any malicious activity is immediately identified and neutralised.
- Brute-force attack prevention, blocking repeated unauthorised login attempts to protect user accounts.
- DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) mitigation, preventing traffic overload attacks that could cause downtime.
- Proactive threat detection, using artificial intelligence to analyse and prevent security risks before they cause harm.
2. WordPress-Side Security
In addition to server-side protection, we secure our WordPress websites using WordFence, a leading security plugin that provides:
- A powerful firewall that blocks malicious traffic before it reaches the website.
- Real-time malware scanning, identifying and removing any suspicious files or vulnerabilities.
- Brute-force protection, restricting repeated failed login attempts to prevent unauthorised access.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) for an added layer of security on login credentials.
- Live traffic monitoring, allowing us to track and block suspicious activity in real time.
Additional Security Measures
To further enhance security, we implement the following best practices:
- Forced SSL Encryption (via Let’s Encrypt) to ensure all data transmitted between the user and the website remains encrypted and secure.
- Daily WordPress security scans, proactively detecting and addressing potential vulnerabilities.
- 24/7 Uptime Monitoring, allowing us to respond immediately to any downtime or disruptions.
- Automated malware scans to identify and eliminate threats before they impact site functionality.
- Regular PHP updates to keep the server environment secure and up to date with the latest security patches.
By implementing this multi-layered security approach, we ensure our client’s websites remain safe, secure, and continuously protected against evolving cyber threats.
Our Client’s Data
Any additional data, in addition to the website itself, is stored securely on Dashlane. Dashlane uses advanced encryption protocols, including AES-256 encryption, to ensure that all stored data remains private and protected. Client information is encrypted locally on the user’s device before being synced, meaning only authorized users can access it.
Additionally, Dashlane implements zero-knowledge architecture, meaning even Dashlane itself cannot access stored data. With features like two-factor authentication (2FA) and dark web monitoring, Dashlane provides an extra layer of security, making it a reliable choice for safeguarding sensitive client information.
