When you launch your website, be it in London, Manchester, or Birmingham, you have certainly accomplished something great, but with this comes the responsibility of running your website. A website is not just static information, but it is actually a continuous digital product made up of many pieces working together through code, databases, and/or other systems in cooperation to provide users with an online service. All websites are going to be continually changing due to competition and consumers,s and websites must therefore be well taken care of by professionals; otherwise, any amount of investment, etc., will have wasted their money when a poorly-maintained website gets to the point where it no longer offers services to the users. Maintaining a website properly, not as an option but as a key part of our work to secure digital investments and make sure that they continue to provide an optimal working tool and resource 24/7 365 days a year, as long as everything is in place correctly, and to continue promoting your company’s growth.
Many people mistakenly view website development as something that you design and then leave alone. This misconception can create a cycle of predictable yet expensive problems. For example, without regular updates to a website’s software (such as WordPress or other CMS systems), the website is vulnerable to hackers who exploit security holes. As plugins and other third-party programs update, they can create a conflict with the core CMS, causing errors in function or even a complete page crash. Over time, unmonitored performance (due to the increasing size of databases) and an overabundance of unnecessary lines of code will lead to browsers loading web pages slowly. A web page can take longer to load, whether the user is at a cafe in Bristol or a corporate office in Edinburgh. Without robust backup solutions, a single user error or a cyber-attack can result in significant data loss and up to days of lost revenue due to a loss of service. Developing these complicated technical matters within your business means that you have taken your team away from their normal day-to-day business functions, resulting in lost or delayed updates and accumulating technical debt that is increasingly difficult to resolve.
Digital security continues to be an ongoing struggle between those who wish to exploit the vulnerabilities of others and those who protect against those vulnerabilities. Maintenance Services takes security seriously and has made it a priority in our offerings to proactively protect all clients from attack. As part of our multi-layered security protocol, we perform core, theme, and plugin updates as soon as they are released to eliminate the potential for exploitation of any newly released vulnerability.
In addition to applying all patches for WordPress, we use advanced Web Application Firewalls (WAF) to prevent all malicious or unwanted traffic before it even gets to your website. We also regularly conduct security scans to locate malware, detect any suspicious files that have been changed, or identify attempts at unauthorized access.
For UK Companies, especially those that deal with personal data, it is of the utmost importance to adopt this level of security not just to comply with Government laws like GDPR, but to remain trusted by your clients and uphold the integrity of your brand’s reputation. By implementing this strategy, a website can be transformed from a likely target to a secure digital asset.
