Outdated software and plugins
Unpatched CMS, plugins and server software are the #1 way sites get compromised. Apply updates promptly or use a managed maintenance plan that does it for you.
Weak passwords and shared logins
Reused passwords and shared accounts let attackers in. Use strong, unique passwords, two-factor authentication, and individual logins you can revoke.
No backups
A backup you've never tested is a hope, not a safeguard. Confirm daily automated backups and do a test restore quarterly.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my site is secure?
Check for a valid SSL certificate, current software, strong unique passwords, two-factor auth, and working daily backups. A maintenance plan covers the ongoing checks.
Can a small business site really get hacked?
Yes, most attacks are automated and target any vulnerable site, large or small. Small business sites are common victims precisely because they're often unmaintained.
