Most site breaches are not sophisticated — they exploit unpatched software, weak access control and recovery plans that exist only in theory. Hardening work addresses the attacks that actually happen: credential hygiene, update discipline, least-privilege access, sane headers, and backups verified by restoring them.

For e-commerce and anything holding customer data, the bar rises: payment-flow review, data-handling audit and compliance-adjacent checks scoped to what the site actually processes.

Questions

Asked about security.

Yes — cleanup starts with containment (taking the site out of danger without destroying evidence), then removal, then hardening so the same door does not reopen. Post-cleanup monitoring is included: reinfection in the first month is on the engagement, not on you.

Hardening is a project; staying secure is a habit. The one-time project leaves you with the runbook and monitoring. Ongoing security maintenance rides on the maintenance retainers with security explicitly in scope.

Scoped vulnerability assessment yes; full red-team penetration testing is a specialist discipline — referred out to people who do it daily when that is what the risk profile actually needs. Honesty about scope beats fake depth.
