Advanced Web Security for WordPress

Built for WordPress, our Advanced Web Security service gives you the confidence that comes from genuinely proactive protection. Just comprehensive, credible security that protects your reputation as effectively as it protects your website.

Security that protects reputations, not just websites

Your digital infrastructure should be a source of confidence, not anxiety.

Advanced Web Security gives you proactive protection that identifies threats before they materialise, documentation that satisfies tough procurement processes, and genuine peace of mind.

Through continuous threat hunting, regular penetration testing, and scheduled infrastructure assessments, we stay ahead of sophisticated threats rather than reacting to them.

Built on our WordPress maintenance foundation.

Your security partner, not your replacement

We work alongside your IT and security teams, bringing specialist WordPress expertise whilst respecting your internal capabilities and enhancing your existing security protocols.

Our team maintains clear communication channels and detailed audit logs of every decision and action taken, ensuring everyone stays informed and confident.

When your most important stakeholders need security information, you’ll have comprehensive reports, compliance documentation, and clear explanations ready to share.

Confidence that extends beyond technology

Enhanced digital resilience means your marketing teams can focus on growth initiatives instead of firefighting technical problems.

You’ll demonstrate robust security measures that satisfy procurement processes, insurance requirements, and stakeholder expectations whilst addressing real-world risks specific to your sector.

This protects both your organisation’s reputation and your professional credibility, giving you confident answers when clients or boards ask about your security posture.

Q&As and What to Expect

To help you understand whether Advanced Web Security is right for your organisation, we've answered the questions we hear most often from marketing and operations teams.

How is Advanced Web Security different from standard WordPress maintenance?

Our WordPress maintenance provides essential security monitoring, updates, and reactive response – the foundation every site needs. Advanced Web Security adds proactive threat hunting, penetration testing, quarterly audits, and collaborative security strategy development.

Maintenance keeps your site secure day-to-day. Advanced Web Security actively strengthens your security posture over time, preparing you for sophisticated threats facing regulated organisations.

Do we need this if we're not in a regulated industry?

Advanced Web Security is designed for organisations where security breaches would have serious consequences – reputational damage, regulatory penalties, or significant operational disruption. Whilst regulated industries face unique compliance requirements, any organisation handling sensitive data or operating revenue-critical websites benefits from proactive security.

If you’re uncertain whether this level of protection fits your needs, we’re happy to discuss your specific situation.

What happens if a security incident occurs?

No security approach guarantees 100% protection – anyone claiming otherwise isn’t being honest. However, our proactive approach significantly reduces attack likelihood and minimises impact when incidents occur.

Our incident response protocols activate immediately, providing direct security team access, clear communication, and coordinated remediation. Any potential incident becomes a learning opportunity, with post-incident analysis and additional protective measures preventing similar issues.

Can you work with our existing IT and security teams?

Absolutely – and we prefer it this way. Our collaborative approach works alongside your internal teams, maintaining regular communication, sharing detailed reports, and coordinating with existing protocols.

Many clients appreciate having external specialists bringing WordPress expertise whilst respecting and enhancing internal security capabilities.

We’re an expert extension of your team that’s focused on WordPress infrastructure, not a replacement for your valuable internal or external IT teams.

What documentation do we receive for procurement and compliance?

You’ll receive comprehensive security documentation including detailed audit reports, penetration testing results, security policy documentation, incident response procedures, and compliance alignment documentation for your sector.

This documentation satisfies procurement processes, insurance requirements, and stakeholder inquiries.

We’ve helped numerous clients present this information to boards, major clients, and compliance teams.

How quickly can we start?

For existing maintenance clients, we typically begin within 2-3 weeks with a comprehensive security audit establishing your baseline and developing your customised 12-month roadmap.

New clients usually start with an agency migration including security assessment, followed by Advanced Web Security implementation. Timeline depends on infrastructure complexity, but we’ll provide a detailed plan during initial consultations.
