Website security

(monthly, ongoing support)

Protect your website and your visitors

Protect your website and visitors from hacks, malware and downtime.

On any plan, from $790 a month

The problem

Small business sites are attacked constantly, usually by automated tools. A hacked site can be blocked by browsers and Google, and visitor data put at risk.

Best for any site that takes payments or personal data; businesses on WordPress and other common platforms; sites that have been hacked before.

  • You don't know if your site has been compromised
  • There's no firewall or malware scanning
  • If it's hacked, you don't know who to call

How we fix it

  • We audit and harden your site
  • We set up a firewall and regular malware scanning
  • We respond to incidents and clean up if something gets through

What clients say

All reviews
“Our WordPress site hadn't been updated in about a year. They cleaned it up, set up backups and I haven't had to think about it since. The monthly care report is short and to the point.”
Marcus J.Website maintenance, Aug 2026English
“We're a two-location dental practice and were basically invisible on Google Maps. Three months in, the second office finally shows up when you search from the neighborhood next door. I like that I can see exactly what they worked on each week in the portal instead of getting a vague monthly email.”
Megan R.Local SEO, Oct 2026English
“Llevábamos meses sin publicar nada en Instagram. Ahora aprobamos el calendario a principio de mes y se olvida uno del tema. Los diseños van con nuestra marca y las respuestas a comentarios son rápidas.”
Lucía FernándezSocial media marketing, Oct 2026Español

Questions about website security

What happens if we're hacked?

Incident response is included: we clean the site, close the hole and report what happened.

Does this include backups?

Backups are part of website maintenance. Many clients run both on the same plan.

Who does the work?

Specialists from our Analytics and Development teams. Each task is checked before it reaches you, and shows which team did it and the hours it took.

Can I start with just website security?

Yes. The Starter plan (10 hours a month) suits one or two ongoing services, so website security can run on its own, alongside any agency you already use. You can start other services later from your client portal.

Is there a long contract?

No. Plans renew monthly and you can change or cancel from the Billing page in your client portal. A cancelled service ends at the end of that calendar month.

How is website security billed?

It runs on your monthly plan hours, at a lower rate than our $95 standard. Unused hours roll over to next month, and extra hours are billed at your plan rate.

Can I get my money back?

Yes. Every monthly plan has a 90-day money-back guarantee. Every task also waits for your approval, and you can ask for changes.
