Website Security

Website Security & Hardening -Serving Peterborough County, Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland, Hastings, PEC, Muskoka, and Haliburton.

About Website Security

Most “hacks” aren’t Hollywood; they’re predictable: weak passwords, stale plugins, bad file permissions, and admin panels left open to bots. Our website security & hardening closes those doors first, then keeps them closed. We enforce 2FA, deploy a tuned WAF with smart rate limits, cloak and lock down logins, remove abandonware, and tighten roles to the least privilege so that one compromised user can’t compromise the entire site.

Next, we add rails: daily off-site backups with test restores, scheduled update windows with a documented rollback plan, uptime and anomaly alerts, version/audit logs, and security headers that play nice with speed (no “security made it slower” nonsense). We do this every week for WordPress/Joomla sites across Peterborough County (Peterborough, Lakefield, Bridgenorth, Millbrook, Norwood), the Durham corridor (Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Bowmanville), Kawartha Lakes (Lindsay, Fenelon Falls, Bobcaygeon), and the 401 stretch in Northumberland (Cobourg, Port Hope, Brighton), with seasonal surges in Prince Edward County (Picton, Wellington) and Muskoka (Bracebridge, Huntsville, Gravenhurst). Email spoofing on your domain?

We configure SPF/DKIM/DMARC and clean up DNS. Already hacked? We contain, clean, restore, patch, and harden - then show you exactly what changed so it doesn’t boomerang. Quiet protection, quick recovery, no drama. Call 705-868-5176.

How It Works

What you get

WAF + rate-limiting tuned to your stack
2FA on admin; least-privilege users & IP rules
Login hardening (URL cloaking / lockouts / ReCAPTCHA)
Plugin/theme audit; remove abandonware & bloat
Malware scans + quarantine & cleanup if needed
Weekly Account off-site backups + test restores
Current Website Backups with a rollback plan
Security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.)
CDN + DNS hygiene; SPF/DKIM/DMARC guidance
Performance preserved (no “security slowed my site” nonsense)

Process

Threat audit - enumerate risks, users, exposures
Stabilize - backups, WAF, 2FA, lockouts, and cleanup
Harden - perms, salts/keys, headers, CDN/DNS
Monitor - uptime, logs, scheduled scans, alerts
Respond - restore/patch, root-cause, proof
Quarterly review - rotate creds, retire risk

Website Security is a Must-Have

Peterborough/Lindsay trades rely on forms and click-to-call, no failures allowed. Cobourg-Port Hope–Brighton retail can’t risk checkout glitches. Durham commuters bounce at the first warning banner. Tourism surges in PEC and Muskoka multiply bot noise. We harden for local realities: quiet protection, quick recovery, zero theatrics.
