Security is Built In, Not Bolted On
When you are building a digital product, user experience and performance are critical, but they mean nothing without a secure foundation.
At our agency, we practice Secure by Design development. This means security isn’t a final checklist item before launch; it is a fundamental requirement integrated into our workflow from the initial architecture planning to the final code deployment. We focus on protecting your users’ data and your brand’s reputation at every step.
Our Approach to Website Security
We implement a multi-layered defense strategy to minimize vulnerabilities and protect your website from evolving threats. Here is how we secure the products we build:
-
Proactive Threat Mitigation: Our developers follow secure coding standards designed to protect against the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. We proactively safeguard your website against common exploits like injection flaws and cross-site scripting (XSS).
-
Thorough Testing and Review: Before any project goes live, it undergoes rigorous testing. We combine automated security scanning with manual code reviews by our senior developers to identify and resolve both technical vulnerabilities and logical flaws.
Ongoing Protection
Launching your website is just the beginning. The digital landscape changes daily, and we provide the ongoing support necessary to keep your platform secure over time.
Depending on your maintenance plan, our post-launch security practices include:
-
Active Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of your website’s uptime and traffic to quickly detect and respond to suspicious activity.
-
Routine Patch Management: We keep your core systems, frameworks, and dependencies up to date with the latest security patches to close known vulnerabilities.
-
Reliable Backups: We configure automated, secure backups of your database and core files to ensure rapid disaster recovery if the unexpected happens.
Keeping the Web Secure
We work with many platforms to keep your site secure as well as the internet more secure.
WordFence
A core piece of our WordPress security is WordFence. This does routine scanning of the WordPress site for issues as well as prevents hacking attempts from known WordPress vulnerabilities.
AbuseIPDB
We use the AbuseIPDB database to keep your site safe from known attackers. We help out others by reporting the threats that we detect back to AbuseIPDB.
