Website Security Timisoara — Protect Your Digital Investment
Your website is an investment — of money, time and your business's reputation. A week of downtime caused by a hack can mean hundreds or thousands of euros in losses. A compromised site that serves malware to your customers can destroy a reputation built over years. Security is not optional.
At ProjectMedia, security is built into every new site we develop and offered as a separate service for existing websites. We don't wait for problems to appear — we prevent them.
“Security is not a product, but a process.” — Bruce Schneier
In 2024, an unmaintained WordPress site was compromised within an average of 82 days after an unpatched exploit surfaced. 43% of cyberattacks target small and midsize websites, not just corporations. (Source: Sucuri Website Security Report, 2024)
The Components of Website Security
SSL certificate and HTTPS
Encrypts communication between the site and its visitors. Mandatory for any site that collects data (forms, orders). Included with every reputable hosting provider.
Regular WordPress, theme and plugin updates
The most common cause of hacks: outdated software with known vulnerabilities. Every month, we update WordPress core, all themes and all active plugins.
Web application firewall (WAF)
Filters malicious traffic before it reaches your site. Blocks SQL injection, XSS, brute-force and other attacks.
Automatic backups
Daily or weekly backups of the entire database and all site files, stored off-site (not on the same server). If something goes wrong, the site is restored in hours, not days.
Uptime monitoring
Automatic SMS and email alerts if your site goes down. Average time to detect downtime: 1 minute (versus hours without monitoring).
Sites with an SSL certificate and HTTPS get 18% more organic traffic than sites without one. Since 2018, Google has directly penalized HTTP sites in its rankings, labeling them “not secure.” (Source: Google Webmaster Blog)
