WordPress Security & Hardening

WordPress powers 43% of the web, making it a constant target for security threats. Stoneberg Design provides enterprise-grade WordPress security and hardening services that protect your platform, data, and reputation. We've secured WordPress installations for healthcare organizations, SaaS companies, and enterprise clients where security incidents carry significant business and compliance risks.

Our security approach combines preventive hardening, active monitoring, and rapid response capabilities. We start with comprehensive security audits that identify vulnerabilities in your WordPress core, themes, plugins, and hosting infrastructure. From there, we implement layered security controls including file system permissions, database hardening, administrative access restrictions, and web application firewall configuration.

Authentication and access control receive special attention. We implement multi-factor authentication, enforce strong password policies, configure role-based access controls, and establish session management that limits exposure from compromised credentials. For clients in regulated industries, we configure WordPress to support HIPAA, SOC 2, and other compliance requirements through encryption, audit logging, and access controls.

Security isn't one-time configuration; it's ongoing vigilance. We establish update protocols for WordPress core, plugins, and themes, implement automated backup strategies with tested restoration procedures, and configure monitoring that alerts to suspicious activity. Our security documentation and incident response plans ensure your team knows how to maintain security posture and respond if issues arise. Based in Seattle and serving enterprise clients throughout the Pacific Northwest, we understand the security expectations of tech companies, healthcare providers, and regulated industries.
