Website security hardening + malware cleanup if you've been hit.
Firewall setup, hardening, malware removal, hack recovery, post-incident audits.
Around ninety thousand WordPress sites are hacked every day, and good sites aren't exempt. We do both sides of security: hardening to keep you out of that number, and fast, thorough cleanup if you're already in it.
Preventive security work
Firewall install + tuning (Cloudflare WAF or Wordfence Premium). File permission audit (nothing world-writable). wp-config.php hardened (DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT, secret keys rotated). Login page protection (rename, rate limit, 2FA). Plugin audit — removing unmaintained plugins and replacing with maintained ones. XMLRPC disabled. REST API endpoints locked down. Server-level hardening if we host.
If your site is hacked
Emergency response — we start within 2 hours during business hours. Isolate the site (WAF block, take offline if severe). Snapshot the compromised state for evidence. Clean known malware from files + database. Compare against known-good backup. Rotate all secrets, passwords, and API keys. Force-logout all sessions. Patch the entry point. Re-scan. Then a post-incident report so it doesn't happen again.
What we won't do
Sell you a Wordfence Premium license and call the job done. Charge $500 to run one malware scanner plugin. Skip the post-incident audit. Skip rotating your keys "because it's inconvenient." Blame you for getting hacked. This stuff happens to good sites too.
Hardening before anything happens
Firewall install and tuning (Cloudflare WAF or Wordfence). A file-permission audit so nothing's world-writable. wp-config locked down with file editing disabled and secret keys rotated. Login protection — renamed page, rate limiting, two-factor. A plugin audit that removes abandoned plugins for maintained ones. XML-RPC disabled, REST endpoints locked. The unglamorous work that keeps you off the daily-hacked list.
If you've already been hit
Emergency response starts within two hours in business hours. We isolate the site, snapshot the compromised state for evidence, clean known malware from files and database, compare against a known-good backup, rotate every secret and password, force-logout all sessions, patch the entry point, and re-scan. Then a post-incident report so the same hole doesn't get used twice.
What we won't do
Sell you a premium scanner license and call it a day. Charge five hundred dollars to run one plugin. Skip the post-incident audit because it's tedious. Leave your keys un-rotated because it's inconvenient. Or blame you for getting hacked — this happens to careful people too, and the job is to fix it and close the door, not to lecture.

Questions people ask about security & malware cleanup
My site got hacked — how fast can you help?
Emergency cleanup starts within two hours during business hours. We isolate, clean, restore from known-good, rotate all secrets, and patch the entry point — then document what happened.
Will an overlay or a security plugin protect me?
A well-tuned firewall helps, but real protection is layered hardening — permissions, login protection, secret rotation, plugin hygiene. One plugin isn't a security strategy.
How do I know the hack is really gone?
We clean, compare against a known-good backup, rotate everything, and re-scan — then do a follow-up scan at 30 days. About 95% of sites we clean stay clean six months later.
Can you prevent hacks, not just clean them?
Yes — that's the hardening service. It closes the common entry points before anything happens, which is far cheaper than a cleanup.
