WordPress security care

WordPress security care for businesses that want stronger protection around an important website

Some businesses want more than core maintenance alone. This care plan is built for websites that need a stronger level of protection, more oversight, and a steadier long-term setup.

If you are comparing care plan options, Security is the tier to consider when stronger protection is the priority. If your site is already hacked or compromised, start with Malware Removal first.

More protection than core maintenance alone

A stronger layer of care for websites where risk, stability, and trust matter more.

A better fit when security is a bigger priority

Useful when you want stronger protection built into the way an important website is looked after.

A sensible next step after past security issues

Move from one-off worry or cleanup into a more stable long-term setup.

Built for ongoing care, not emergency cleanup

Security is built for long-term protection, not for cleaning up an active compromise.

Is this the right fit?

A good fit for businesses that want a stronger level of care

Not every website needs the same level of support. This plan is designed for businesses that want stronger protection built into ongoing care, especially when the website matters, the risks feel higher, or a basic plan no longer feels like enough.

You are likely a good fit if
Your website supports leads, sales, bookings, or day-to-day operations You want more reassurance than a core care plan gives You have had a security scare before and do not want a repeat You want support and protection handled together You would rather stay ahead of problems than react later

Why stronger security care can make sense

Because some websites need more than core maintenance

WordPress Maintenance gives you the foundation: updates, checks, backups, and ongoing support. For some businesses, that is enough. For others, stronger security becomes a bigger priority.

This tier exists for websites that need additional protection built into long-term care, rather than treated as a separate concern.

This is not about overcomplicating things. It is about choosing the right level of care for the website you rely on.

1

Core maintenance covers the essentials

A solid foundation for keeping your website updated, supported, and looked after.

2

Security adds another layer

A better fit when security is a bigger priority, the risks feel higher, or you want more confidence in how the website is protected.

What stronger security care feels like

A safer setup. Less second guessing. More confidence day to day.

Security-focused care should make the website feel easier to trust. Not because you are thinking about security all the time, but because the right level of care is already around it.

It should feel like your website is being looked after properly, with protection built into an ongoing support relationship rather than added as an afterthought.

This is about feeling more secure in how the website is looked after, not adding complexity for the sake of it.

A

More confidence in the setup

You are not relying on the bare minimum and hoping for the best.

B

Less worry after past scares

If something has gone wrong before, this level of care should feel like a sensible step forward.

C

Protection as part of ongoing care

Security works better when it sits alongside support, maintenance, and long-term oversight.

What Security adds

More security-focused protection built into ongoing care

Security includes everything in Maintenance, with broader protection added on top.

Stronger preventative protection

Website hardening adds another layer around the site. Hosted Security also includes managed Web Application Firewall protection.

Deeper security monitoring

Server-side scanning, audit logs, and more frequent security checks provide broader oversight.

More support if something goes wrong

Security also includes malware removal and broader support allowances. Hosted Security adds an extra backup location.

Security and support together

These protections sit alongside the maintenance, monitoring, backups, and ongoing support included in Maintenance.

How Security compares

Choose Security when stronger protection is the priority

Maintenance is a complete core Care Plan for dependable ongoing care. Security includes that foundation and adds broader security-focused protection for websites where risk and reassurance matter more.

Performance includes the lower-plan features and adds wider support around performance, responsiveness, stability, quality assurance, and support capacity. The right plan depends on what your website actually needs.

What clients say

Already dealing with an active security issue?

If your site is already hacked, start with cleanup first

Security care is designed for ongoing protection. If your website is already compromised, showing signs of malware, or behaving suspiciously, the first step is to get the issue cleaned up properly.

Once the site is safe again, we can help you move into longer-term care to reduce the chances of it happening again.

You do not need to work out the exact problem first. If something feels wrong, start with Malware Removal and we will help you take the right next step.

Start here if you are dealing with
Malware or suspicious files A hacked or defaced website Spam, redirects, or strange behaviour Security warnings or sudden account issues
Then move into ongoing care

After cleanup, the right care plan can help you build a stronger long-term setup around the site.

FAQs

Questions people often ask before choosing this plan

These are some of the questions that can help when deciding whether Security is the right level of ongoing care for your website.

You do not need a technical diagnosis before getting started. We can help you choose the right next step.

Do I need Security if my website has never been hacked?

Not necessarily. Maintenance may be enough if core ongoing care meets your needs. Security is the stronger fit when you want additional protection built into that ongoing care, whether or not you have had a previous security issue.

Does Security include everything in Maintenance?

Yes. Security includes the core ongoing care from Maintenance, then adds broader security-focused protection.

How is Security different from Performance?

Security builds on Maintenance with broader security-focused protection. Performance includes both lower levels and adds broader support around stability and performance. It is the most comprehensive Care Plan.

What if I only need help with one security problem?

You may not need ongoing care. If your website is currently hacked or compromised, start with Malware Removal. For other isolated requirements, our One-Off Services may be a better fit.

Where can I compare all three Care Plans?

Use the Care Plans page to compare Maintenance, Security, and Performance side by side before choosing the level that best fits your website.
