Security & Hardening
WordPress security that prevents the cleanup
Cleaning a hacked site costs $499. Not getting hacked is cheaper. We harden, patch and watch your site every day.
Defense in depth
Six layers, maintained daily
No single tool keeps WordPress safe. Security is a routine — and routines are exactly what a managed service is for.
Disciplined updates
Most WordPress hacks exploit a known, already-patched vulnerability. We update core, plugins and themes daily — with snapshots so an update can never strand your site.
Firewall at the edge
Every site we manage sits behind a web application firewall and Cloudflare, filtering attacks before they ever reach WordPress.
Login & account protection
Brute-force lockouts, strong-password enforcement and least-privilege accounts — the boring controls that stop the most common break-ins.
Daily malware scanning
Files and database scanned every day, plus blacklist monitoring — so if something does slip through, it's caught in hours, not months.
Backups as a safety net
Daily encrypted offsite backups mean the worst case is a restore, not a rebuild.
Hardened hosting
On our platform each site runs in its own isolated container — no shared server neighbors, no cross-account contamination.
How to get it
Security is built into every care plan
We don’t sell security as a one-off checkbox, because a hardening pass that nobody maintains decays in months — new vulnerabilities ship weekly. Instead, every Wurdey care plan from $99/month includes the full stack above: daily updates, firewall, login protection, daily scanning and encrypted backups, running continuously.
On the Nest Keeper plan and up, cleanup is included too — if a site we protect ever does get compromised, we fix it as part of your plan, not as a new bill.
Already compromised? Start with malware removal — it’s free if you join a care plan.
