Website Security Services

Security plugins and firewalls have their place, and we install and tune them. But a plugin follows rules written for the average site. It does not understand that your checkout lets a logged-in user change the price field, or that your password reset link never expires. Human testing catches the logic flaws that automated tools score as “informational” and skip.

If your platform exposes SOAP or web services, the security model is different from a normal login form. We check how the WS-Security UsernameToken profile is applied, whether tokens are actually validated server-side, and whether the service leaks internal detail through verbose faults. The same care applies to REST and GraphQL endpoints, which are now the most common way sensitive data walks out of a site.

We map the attack surface: every input, every login, every third-party integration, the CMS and its plugins, the hosting, and anything exposed that should not be. Tools like Burp Suite, nmap and ffuf do the heavy enumeration, then an engineer works through the interesting parts by hand.

Findings come with the fix, not just the problem. That might mean patching a vulnerable component, rewriting an access-control check, tightening a content security policy, or moving an admin panel behind authentication and IP restriction. Where you host on AWS, we bring the relevant Amazon Web Services security best practices into the review: locked-down S3 buckets, least-privilege IAM, and no security groups open to the world.

Once a site is clean, the job is keeping it that way. Continuous monitoring watches for file integrity changes, unexpected admin accounts, outbound traffic to known-bad hosts, and search-engine blacklisting. If something trips, our 24/7 incident response team can be on it the same hour rather than the following Monday.

What monitoring actually watches

File hashes on the web root, the list of admin and privileged users, plugin and core versions against known vulnerability feeds, TLS certificate expiry, and DNS records. A quiet week is the point, not a failure of the service.

SQL injection is less common than it was, but it still shows up in older custom code and in search or reporting features nobody thought of as sensitive. Stored XSS is more frequent: a comment, a profile field or a support ticket that renders attacker-controlled markup back to an admin, quietly stealing a session.

This is the number one category in the OWASP Top 10 for a reason. IDOR flaws let a user change an ID in a URL and read someone else’s invoice. Missing server-side checks let a normal account hit admin-only actions. We test these by trying, not by reading documentation.

An out-of-date plugin or library is the entry point in the majority of the WordPress and CMS compromises we handle. Alongside that sit the boring but dangerous misconfigurations: directory listing left on, backups sitting in the web root, debug mode enabled in production, error pages that print stack traces and database paths.

If you are launching, migrating, or responding to a specific worry, a fixed-scope engagement gives you a clear before-and-after. You get the report, the fixes go in, we retest, and you are done until the next big change.

Compliance obligations, customer data, or a history of getting hit all point toward a monthly plan. It spreads the cost, keeps monitoring live, and means the people who know your site are already briefed when something happens at 2am.

PCI DSS 4.0, which requires regular testing under requirement 11.4 if you touch card data. ISO 27001 Annex A controls, including A.12.6 on technical vulnerability management. SOC 2 for the security trust criteria. And GDPR, where a demonstrable security process is part of showing you protect personal data. For firms in scope of NIS2 or DORA, we align the deliverables to those obligations too.

On request, you get a signed letter stating what was tested, when, by whom, and that identified issues were retested after remediation. That is usually what a customer’s procurement team or your own auditor actually asks for.

A scanner does not know that your API returns another customer’s order when you increment an ID, because to the tool that is just a valid response. It cannot reason that a two-step checkout can be skipped to the confirmation page, or that a support agent role can quietly reach billing functions. Business logic has no signature, so only a person testing the way an attacker would will find it.

Because an engineer verifies each issue by hand, you do not receive a 200-page export where the three findings that matter are buried among theoretical warnings. You get a short list of things that are genuinely exploitable, ranked by what they would cost you, with a reproduction path your developer can follow. That is the difference between a document that sits in a folder and one your team actually fixes.

In practice the two work together. Continuous scanning and monitoring keep watch between engagements and flag the obvious regressions the moment they appear. Periodic manual testing goes deep where the automation cannot. A good plan uses both and is honest about which is doing what.
