Website Maintenance and Security – The Plans
Why do you need a website maintenance plan?
We’ve noticed a definite spike in attempted website attacks – especially since COVID.
It is important we make sure that your online resources are not compromised, hacked and are always fully functional.
Rest assured your site is generally secure, but out-of-date plugins and software can increase the risk of outsiders gaining access and hacking your website.
This can not only affect the performance and search-ability of your website, it can also affect your company’s reputation.
A website that has been hacked and reported (blacklisted), can have an immediate effect on emails generated from your company.
In some cases, being blacklisted will mean that spam filters will flag emails generated from your company as spam – and therefore will not reach their intended recipient.
