We clean compromised WordPress sites, identify the likely entry point and harden the installation against repeat incidents. The service can include malware removal, user and plugin review, secret rotation, WAF rules, 2FA, file-integrity monitoring and a written change report.
WordPress security cleanup and hardening should remove the compromise and reduce the chance of recurrence. We review users, plugins, themes, secrets, admin exposure and hosting controls, then add appropriate WAF rules, 2FA, monitoring and recovery procedures.
You get a readable report that shows what was wrong, what we fixed, and what your team needs to keep doing. No scare tactics, no vague checklists. Just a site that holds up.
A WordPress security process covering containment, clean-up, vulnerability review, hardening, monitoring, recovery testing and a documented handover.
We scan the site, review the plugin and theme code, check user roles, open ports, file permissions, admin paths and third-party integrations. You get a written report ranking every finding by severity with a fix plan and a fixed quote.
If the site is infected we isolate it, remove malicious code, clean the database, reset secrets and file permissions, and submit a blocklist review request with Google, Norton and McAfee. Every file we touch is logged.
We disable XML-RPC where safe, lock down wp-admin, enforce 2FA, rotate keys and passwords, install a WAF, set strong HTTPS headers, disable file editing, set file integrity monitoring and tune login rate limits.
You get the full report, a runbook, restore playbook and optional ongoing monitoring. Your team knows what was changed, why, and how to respond to the next alert without calling us at 3am.
Most security plugins stop at alerts. Most freelancers install one and call it done. Here is how a real hardening engagement compares.
Fixed quotes before work begins. Pick the tier that fits your site or request a custom estimate for complex stacks.
Single site audit and core hardening. Ideal for small business and brochure sites.
Audit, hardening and malware cleanup with WAF setup and monitoring wired.
Full cleanup, hardening and compliance review for WooCommerce and membership sites.
Enterprise engagement with pen testing, SOC2 or HIPAA controls and dedicated team.
A hardening engagement is only done once the site, your team and our internal checklist all agree. No shortcuts.
Injection, broken auth, XSS, CSRF, SSRF and the rest. Each risk class is reviewed and closed or documented with a residual risk note.
Hardening does not slow the site. LCP under 2.5s, CLS under 0.1, INP under 200ms verified before and after the engagement.
2FA, login pages and any UI we touch stay keyboard navigable, screen reader friendly and contrast compliant.
Every role, capability and API key is reviewed. Unused accounts disabled, over-privileged roles downgraded, service keys scoped.
Salts, database passwords, API keys and SFTP credentials rotated. New secrets stored in a vault, not in code or email.
Cloudflare, Wordfence Cloud or equivalent. Custom rules for admin paths, REST endpoints, XML-RPC and known bad bots.
Every config change, plugin tweak and server rule is logged in the runbook with reasoning. Your team can audit months later.
Offsite backup verified by an actual restore. Not just a green dot in a dashboard. Restore time and integrity documented.
Two engineers on every engagement. One hardens, one reviews. Functional QA before handover so nothing is silently broken.
We are the silent security team behind agencies that offer hardening and incident response to their clients. Your client sees your work, your invoice and your brand. Our name never appears on the report.
Audit reports, runbooks and handover docs carry your brand, not ours.
One point of contact for all your security work. Shared Slack channel, same day replies for active incidents.
Retainer rates, bulk discounts and priority scheduling for agency partners.
We plug into your Jira, ClickUp, Notion or Linear. No tool switching, no friction for your team.
You share the client site details, access and incident status in your stack. Jira, ClickUp, Notion, wherever you already work.
We run a quick recon, write a scoped plan and send you a partner rate quote. Never shown to your client.
You mark up, brand the proposal and present it on your letterhead at your price.
Your client signs off on your terms, with your brand, and pays you directly.
Silent audit, cleanup and hardening. No logos, no footer credits, no email signatures from us.
You review the report, accept handover and deliver the finished hardening work to your client under your agency name.
The engagement can include containment, malware removal, user and plugin review, vulnerability investigation, secret rotation, WAF configuration, 2FA, login protection, file-integrity monitoring and verification of clean backups. You receive a written record of findings and changes.
We can clean the site and address the likely entry points, but no responsible provider can promise that any site will never be attacked again. We reduce recurrence risk through updates, access control, secret rotation, hardening, monitoring and a recovery plan.
No. We test every change on staging first. If a hardening rule breaks a plugin or workflow, we adjust or document an exception. You get the full change log at handover so nothing is a mystery.
Yes. If Google Safe Browsing, Norton or McAfee have flagged your domain we submit review requests after cleanup and monitor until the flags clear. Usually 24 to 72 hours.
Yes. We offer a monthly retainer that includes file integrity monitoring, weekly vulnerability checks, patching, uptime monitoring and incident response with SLA. Pricing is separate from the hardening engagement.
Yes. Managed hosts ship a good baseline but each site still needs login hardening, plugin review and application level controls. We work alongside host support to harden the application layer without breaking their stack.
Audit and report in 3 to 5 business days. Hardening and controls in 1 to 2 weeks after approval. Malware cleanup adds 2 to 4 days depending on severity. You receive a firm timeline in the written quote.
Share your site details and a security engineer will respond with a written estimate and timeline within one business day.
