Audit

For an existing website, we can advise you with a documented report covering all aspects of its functionality, performance, and security. Remember to maintain an up-to-date environment (core, server, and plugins), and to use as many native and well-supported solutions as possible. 

Security

We work on implementing the necessary tools to secure your site and, above all, adapting your entire environment to make it as vulnerable as possible. While a completely invulnerable 100% system doesn't exist, our intervention protects you against the vast majority of possible attacks.

Restoration

Victim of an attack? We ensure the restoration, security, and replacement of all access points. In most cases, we even find the origin of the attack and the signature of the malicious actor. If you don't have backups, we can intervene manually to restore your site.

Why choose WordPress?

We often hear that "WordPress is a sieve, there are security problems with WordPress"«

This preconceived notion reflects a lack of expertise and competence in web development. Indeed, WordPress is a tool like any other, and its security depends on the quality of its implementation and the tools used. Any environment, even a custom-developed one, is vulnerable if it is not properly set up and maintained. WordPress has the distinction of being the number one CMS and, as such, is more exposed, just as it is extremely comprehensive and powerful, with a very large developer community. You simply need to know how to work with the tool and master it. WordPress is not, in itself, less secure or more vulnerable than any other solution, especially since it is open source and therefore everything is transparent and customizable. 

Choice of environment

It is crucial to understand that the foundation of your security is having an up-to-date environment. Your server's PHP version, the WordPress version, and all plugins must be updated regularly. 

Furthermore, be aware that purchasing a theme or using plugins that are too recent, have few installations, or were developed by junior developers will, in most cases, lead to technical obsolescence after a few months or years. If the update frequency of a plugin or theme is irregular, too late, or worse, if the developer no longer provides updates, then you have an outdated environment that becomes an open door to vulnerabilities. 

For this, we ourselves only work with builders (Divi/Elementor) to avoid any dependency on a third-party theme. The same applies to plugins: work with established players and avoid obscure solutions with few installations.  

Essential security

We implement essential security measures to protect your data, access, and technical safeguards against attacks and intrusion attempts. From determining your passwords to setting up and configuring Wordfence, potentially with a CDN, fail2ban, or even 2FA, you must anticipate even the most basic attacks and malware. All your plugins must be fully supported and up-to-date, as well as your PHP and WordPress core versions. 

Manual intervention

Is your website already under attack and is malware rendering it unusable? We can remove it and work directly on your directory and database to eliminate it, or if possible, restore a backup. As part of this process, we always make a copy for development before putting it back into production. Very often, infected WordPress sites use the same types of malware and aim to exploit your Domain Authority (DA) to redirect backlinks to third-party sites, or simply to redirect some of your pages with corrupted .htaccess files throughout your directories. 

The financial and moral damage caused by an attack is always far greater than anticipating and intervening beforehand, so don't wait.
