The website has not been looked after for a long time
Versions, users, plugins and backups are unclear or have not been checked for a long time.
WordPress security
A security plugin on its own is not a security strategy. What counts is a small attack surface, secure access, current components, external backups and a process that works when it matters.

Updates matter, but they are not enough. User accounts, hosting, file permissions, extensions, authentication, backups and monitoring together determine how easily a website can be attacked and how quickly it can be restored.
Hardening reduces risk. It cannot guarantee absolute security, but it creates a traceable technical baseline and better options for responding.
Versions, users, plugins and backups are unclear or have not been checked for a long time.
A clean-up is complete, but the entry point and future safeguards still need to be put in order.
Enquiries, bookings or sales depend on the installation running reliably.
Nobody knows who checks warnings, runs updates or starts a restore.
Installations, roles, administrators, extensions and unnecessary access are checked.
Outdated or unneeded components are assessed, updated or removed.
Password rules, multi-factor authentication and technical keys are organised sensibly.
Configuration, file access and typical points of attack are secured as far as the hosting allows.
External backups and a traceable way to restore are set up or checked.
It is defined which warnings are monitored and who responds to relevant events.
Clear intermediate steps make technical decisions, risks and costs easy to follow.
Record the system, users, components and access.
Prioritise vulnerabilities and business impact.
Implement suitable technical and organisational measures.
Don’t just create backups – check that they can actually be used.
Assign monitoring, updates and response permanently.
The exact scope depends on the installation, hosting, user structure and existing technical condition. Existing malware is not part of a preventive hardening package.
Real examples show the starting point, the technical decisions and the scope of work delivered.
Answers to practical questions before you commission the work.
No. It can be one building block, but it does not replace current components, secure accounts, server configuration, external backups, monitoring and a response process.
There is no such thing as absolute security. The aim is to reduce the attack surface, prioritise risks and limit damage through good detection and recovery.
Only once access, completeness and the restore have actually been tested. An untested backup can be worthless in an emergency.
No. Basic Care covers scheduled quarterly maintenance. Urgent security updates outside that date are offered separately and billed by effort. From Website Care upwards, security updates are handled according to urgency.
