What makes WordPress a target for attacks?

43% of the web runs on WordPress. Attackers know this.

WordPress powers nearly half of all websites. That market share makes it the single biggest target for automated attacks. Bots scan for outdated plugins, weak admin credentials, and misconfigured file permissions 24/7. A WordPress security consultant identifies these exposure points in your specific setup and eliminates them.

Plugins are the attack surface.

The average WordPress site runs 20+ plugins. Each one is a potential entry point. Nulled themes, abandoned plugins with unpatched vulnerabilities, and admin accounts with "password123" are responsible for most breaches we investigate. The fix is not fewer plugins. It is knowing which ones to trust and how to lock down the rest.

Most site owners discover they need a WordPress security consultant after Google flags their site for malware. By then, the damage is done: lost rankings, lost customer trust, and hours of cleanup. Proactive hardening costs a fraction of incident response.

Vulnerability Assessment

We scan your theme, plugins, and server configuration for known CVEs and misconfigurations. You get a ranked list of risks with remediation steps.

Malware Removal & Cleanup

If you are already compromised, we isolate the infection, remove backdoors, clean injected code, and submit reconsideration requests to Google.

WordPress Hardening

File permission lockdown, XML-RPC disabling, login attempt limiting, security headers (CSP, HSTS), and wp-config.php hardening. Layer by layer.

Firewall & WAF Configuration

We configure Cloudflare, Sucuri, or server-level WAF rules tuned for WordPress attack patterns. Block brute force, SQL injection, and XSS at the edge.

Ongoing Security Monitoring

File integrity monitoring, uptime checks, and daily malware scans with instant alerts. We catch intrusions within hours, not weeks.

Incident Response Planning

Documented procedures for breach scenarios. Who gets notified, how backups are restored, and what communication goes to affected users.

Security consulting questions

Most malware removals are completed within 24-48 hours. We prioritize getting your site back online and off Google's blacklist. After cleanup, we harden the site to prevent reinfection.

WordPress core is well-maintained and patched regularly. The security problems come from outdated plugins, weak passwords, and cheap hosting. A properly hardened WordPress site is as secure as any platform. The difference is configuration, not software.

We review plugin vulnerabilities (cross-referencing WPScan database), file permissions, user account security, server headers, SSL configuration, database exposure, and backup integrity. The report lists every finding with severity ratings.

A one-time audit fixes current issues. But new plugin vulnerabilities are disclosed weekly. Ongoing monitoring catches new risks as they emerge. Most businesses we work with start with an audit and add monitoring after seeing what we find.

Security audits start at a fixed project rate. Malware cleanup is priced by severity. Ongoing monitoring runs monthly. We scope everything before you commit, so there are no surprises. Contact us for a quote specific to your site.
