Website Security & Maintenance Plans

Ongoing security, updates, and support to keep your website stable and protected

Websites require ongoing updates, monitoring, and maintenance to stay secure. Vulnerabilities are introduced over time through outdated software, third-party integrations, and changes in the underlying environment.

Our security and maintenance plans are designed to keep sites updated, backed up, and protected as those risks evolve. This includes regular updates, vulnerability checks, and support when issues arise.

These plans are most commonly used for WordPress, Joomla, and similar CMS-based websites, but the same approach can be applied to other platforms depending on how the site is built. 

What's Included in a Plan What's Included in a Plan

Each plan covers the core areas required to keep a site secure and maintained over time, addressing updates, monitoring, backups, and ongoing support as part of a consistent process.

  • Core Updates

    • CMS core, plugins, themes, and dependencies are kept up to date to reduce exposure to known vulnerabilities and compatibility issues.

  • Security Monitoring and Checks

    • Regular checks are performed to identify vulnerabilities, unusual activity, and signs of compromise before they escalate.

  • Backup Management and Recovery

    • Scheduled backups are maintained and verified. Recovery support is available if data loss or corruption occurs.

  • Uptime and Performance Monitoring

    • Site availability and performance are monitored to detect outages, slowdowns, or abnormal resource usage.

  • Issue Investigation and Support

    • Problems are reviewed as they arise, including update conflicts, errors, and security-related issues, with support to resolve them.

Common Risk Scenarios Common Risk Scenarios

Security plans are applied based on how a site is used and maintained. These scenarios reflect common situations where ongoing maintenance helps prevent issues and keep systems stable. 

Outdated Systems CMS & Plugin Drift

Regular updates reduce exposure and prevent compatibility issues.

Stability After Build or Redesign

Stability After Build or Redesign

New sites often require monitoring and adjustment after launch. Updates, fixes, and small issues handled as they surface.

Active Sites Frequent Content & Changes

Active Frequent Content & Changes

Sites with regular updates, new content, or activity require ongoing maintenance to avoid conflicts and regressions.

eCommerce Transaction-Based Systems

Payment processing and customer data introduce higher risk. Maintenance ensures updates, backups, and monitoring.

Integrations Third-Party Services

Integrations Third-Party Services

External APIs, plugins, and services can introduce breaking changes. Monitoring and updates help maintain compatibility.

Recovery & Cleanup After Security Incidents

Sites that have been compromised often require ongoing maintenance to prevent reinfection and ensure stability after cleanup.

Website Security & Maintenance Plans Website Security & Maintenance Plans

Options are based on how your site is built and maintained, including CMS platforms, custom systems, and one-time audits.

Scope and Exclusions

Security plans focus on website and application-level maintenance. The following areas are not included unless specifically scoped as part of a custom plan

  • Software Licensing:
    Commercial plugins, themes, or third-party tools may require active licenses to receive updates and security patches. These are managed by the site owner unless otherwise arranged.
  • Email and Infrastructure Management:
    Email systems, hosting environments, and broader infrastructure are not included as part of standard plans.
  • Third-Party Platforms:
    External services such as CRM, marketing platforms, and payment providers are maintained separately. Support for these systems can be included under a custom plan if required.
  • Content and Design Changes:
    Content updates, design work, and feature development are outside the scope of security and maintenance plans.
  • Strategy and Consulting:
    Services such as SEO, UX, and digital strategy are not included unless defined as part of a broader engagement.

For projects that require support beyond standard maintenance, a Monthly Retainer or custom plan can be used to cover additional work based on your system and requirements.
