Website security is a broad area affected not only by the website itself, but also by factors such as the hosting environment, end-user devices, routers, the network, name servers, data leaks from other services, the integrity of the internet connection, and SSL. Website security is also an important part of device and user security.
A Second Layer of Security
The Valakia Valvomo website maintenance service provides additional security for your website. In addition to the standard security of the hosting platform, we offer a second layer of security.
The service may include, for example, vulnerability scanning, malware scanning, hosting environment checks, website-specific privacy recommendations, and the installation of plugins and settings that improve privacy and security.
Manual Auditing
As another service, we can also offer website security audits. We can manually review the secure operation of your website.
A manual audit may include, for example, code review, checking the website’s sources, verifying code integrity, and reviewing interfaces and APIs.
Secure websites are an important part of today’s society. Infected websites can, at worst, compromise computers, mobile devices, and other devices, which is why website security should be taken care of as well as possible.
Website Hardening
WordPress websites can be hardened in many ways. Hardening WordPress means adjusting the settings of the WordPress installation, installing third-party plugins, and configuring the server environment. A website can often also be hardened through additional hosting platform settings that may not be enabled by default.
Hardening may include, for example, enabling privacy and security plugins, hardening the server environment, and configuring HTTP headers.
Server environment hardening is partly the responsibility of the hosting provider, but we can review it when needed. HTTP headers affect how your website can handle different files or data sources.
Digimuuri
Digimuuri is a WordPress security plugin developed by Valakia that adds browser-level protection to your website. It controls exactly which scripts and resources the browser is allowed to load, automatically blocking anything that does not belong — including injected malicious code.
When a violation occurs, Digimuuri logs it in real time, giving you a clear picture of what is being blocked and where. The plugin is installed and configured by Valakia as part of the website security service.
