# Website security built on zero trust.

> Enterprise-grade, zero-trust website security for businesses in Syracuse, Utica and Central New York. Hardening, hacked-site cleanup, updates, monitoring and backups.

Canonical page: https://digitalrocket.co/website-security

In today’s threat landscape, we build enterprise-grade zero-trust security into every website: never trusting by default and always verifying access.

**In short:** We harden your hosting, lock down admin access, add modern security headers, and keep your site patched and monitored, so one breach doesn’t undo years of customer trust.

**Best for:** Businesses that handle customer data or payments, sites that have been hacked before, and anyone running an outdated WordPress install.

## What our security work covers

- **Security audit:** We review plugins, themes, users, hosting and configuration for known weaknesses.
- **Least-privilege access:** Every user gets only the access they need, with multi-factor authentication for admins.
- **Security headers:** Content-Security-Policy, HSTS and other headers that block common attacks.
- **Hardened hosting:** Server configuration, firewalls and isolation that reduce what an attacker can reach.
- **Updates and patching:** Core, plugin and dependency updates applied and tested on a schedule.
- **Monitoring and backups:** Uptime and change monitoring, with off-site backups you can restore from.

## How we secure your site

1. **Assess:** We scan and review your current site and hosting setup.
2. **Harden:** We remove what you don’t need, lock down access and add protective headers.
3. **Verify:** We confirm every change and check that nothing is broken for visitors.
4. **Maintain:** We keep your site updated, backed up and monitored.

## Security questions

### What does zero-trust mean for a website?

Nothing is trusted automatically, including logged-in users and connected services. Every request for access is verified, and each account gets only the permissions it needs.

### My site was hacked. Can you help?

Yes. We clean up the site, close the hole that let the attacker in, and harden it so it doesn’t happen again.

### Is WordPress secure?

It can be, if it’s kept updated, uses well-maintained plugins and has locked-down access. Most WordPress hacks come from outdated plugins.

### Do you offer ongoing security maintenance?

Yes. We can handle updates, monitoring and backups after launch.
