We update your Joomla or Wordpress site automatically as required so your site is always up to date and running the latest, secure versions. We also update all your plugins or addons too. Out of date plugins are an attack source and can leave your site vulnerable to exploits.
Along with site updates, we also run monthly security audits to determine your site health and security status. Our tools are constantly updated for the latest malware detection.
We also actively configure the .HTaccess files for security and performance. We install the Admin Tools plugin for security and as a intrusion firewall
We install Akeeba Back-up and in conjunction with our scanning and security service, we can also schedule a local back-up stored on the server.
Our second back-up is the full system back-up via RSYNC to the Rsync Cloud in Las Vegas. Rsync uses hourly, daily, weekly and monthly deltas of the server to have multiple back-ups of ours and your data
Should you site go off-line, our uptime service proved by Uptime Robot will send us alerts. We are also alerted to changes to key and core files of your Joomla or Wordpress site
Should your site be hacked and has malicious files then we'll know about it with our real-time scanner. We can also help with resolution by identifiying and removing the malicious files. We can also restore from a known good back-up of your site.

Certain things like strong passwords for admin users, or user-added rogue plugins are out of our control and therefore ability to offer any anti-hacking guarantee.
