Website security

Improve security across application, access and environment.

We help businesses review practical security controls around websites and web applications, including code and dependencies, administrator access, server configuration, patching, permissions, backups and the operational processes that can expose otherwise well-built systems.

Where we add value

Website security shaped around the problem, not a generic package

Every website security requirement has a different starting point. We review the existing environment, the people who use it, the systems it depends on and the commercial outcome before deciding what should be built or changed.

That discovery matters because technical shortcuts often move cost into support, manual work or future redevelopment. Our aim is to make the solution understandable, maintainable and appropriate to the risk.

Attack surface review

Identify exposed software, unnecessary services, risky extensions and weak access paths.

Access control

Review accounts, privileges, MFA opportunities and administrative entry points.

Patch discipline

Improve visibility of application, plugin, library and operating-system updates.

Recovery readiness

Check whether backups, logs and response procedures are sufficient if an incident occurs.

What we can deliver

Practical website security delivery from discovery through support

Midoriweb can own a complete workstream or integrate with an existing team. Scope can cover a new build, a defined improvement, recovery work or ongoing development capacity.

  • Website/CMS security review
  • Dependency and extension review
  • Access and privilege review
  • Server/file permission hardening
  • Patch planning
  • Backup/recovery review
  • WAF/CDN configuration review
  • Monitoring recommendations
How we work

Start with clarity, then build in controlled increments

We favour clear requirements, visible priorities and reviewable releases. Where uncertainty exists, we reduce it before committing to a large build.

Testing, documentation, version control, deployment planning and communication are treated as part of delivery rather than optional extras added at the end.

Technical coverage

Technology selected around the requirement

The exact stack depends on the current system and the work required. We can combine core Midoriweb expertise with specialists from our wider engineering team when a project needs additional skills.

Engagement options

Choose the level of ownership you need

Some clients need a complete managed project; others need experienced capacity inside an existing team. We support both models.

Managed project

Midoriweb owns an agreed scope, coordinates delivery and provides a clear route from discovery to release.

Specialist workstream

Bring us into one defined area such as frontend, backend, integrations, performance or infrastructure.

Team augmentation

Add one or more developers to increase capacity for a fixed period or ongoing roadmap.

Ongoing technical partner

Combine support, maintenance, improvements and roadmap delivery in a continuing engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Questions to consider before you start

Is a security plugin enough?

No. Plugins can help, but security also depends on code, access, server configuration and operational practices.

Can you secure an existing site?

Yes. We can review the current state and prioritise practical improvements.

Do you offer penetration testing?

Where formal specialist penetration testing is required, we can help define the need and involve appropriate security specialists rather than misrepresenting a general engineering review as a certified penetration test.

Can security be included with maintenance?

Yes. Ongoing patching and technical review are often more effective than one isolated security exercise.
