Our WooCommerce Security Check Services
WooCommerce Security Audit
Our detailed security audits assess your WooCommerce setup, including the core system, themes, plugins, and custom code. These WooCommerce security checks are conducted by our platform experts to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers, such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other security threats. You also get recommendations to rectify or prevent these.
Version Updates
We manage updates for WordPress, WooCommerce, and all associated plugins and themes to ensure your store is running on the most secure and stable versions. We begin by testing these updates on a staging site to ensure compatibility and stability before implementing them on your live site. With a large community of developers constantly working to enhance WooCommerce and WordPress functionality, these updates are crucial for fixing issues and improving your site’s performance and security.
Malware Scanning and Removal
Our WooCommerce security audit service scans your online store for malware, ransomware, and other malicious software. If any threats are detected, we promptly remove them and take steps to secure the site from future attacks.
PCI Compliance
While the core WooCommerce plugin itself is not PCI-DSS certified, we can ensure that your site achieves PCI compliance, a crucial standard for handling credit card transactions securely. We assist in implementing necessary measures such as SSL certificates to secure your checkout process, thereby protecting cardholder data and reducing the risk of payment fraud.
User Access Management
In many of our WordPress security assessments, we've identified user access as a common point of vulnerability. Managing user roles and permissions effectively reduces the risk of internal threats and minimizes the potential for SQL injection attacks facilitated through compromised accounts. This service involves limiting access to sensitive data and functionalities to authorized users only.
Firewall Configuration & Management
As a part of our WooCommerce security audit, we thoroughly check your firewall setup to assess its effectiveness. If we find that it is not configured correctly or is absent altogether, we take immediate action to address these issues. Proper configuration and management of your web application firewall (WAF) are crucial for protecting against various threats such as brute force attacks, cross-site scripting, and SQL injections.
Implementation of Two-Factor Authentication
To reduce the risk of unauthorized entry to your WooCommerce store, we implement two-factor authentication (2FA) for all user accounts. Alongside 2FA, we emphasize the use of strong passwords, combining length, complexity, and unpredictability to fortify user accounts against brute force and other types of attacks.
Site Backups
We set up automated backup systems that frequently save all critical components of your website, including databases, files, and configurations. These backups are stored securely in multiple locations to prevent data loss from any single point of failure. In the event of a security breach or other disaster, these backups allow for quick restoration of your site to its previous state, minimizing downtime and safeguarding your business continuity.
Our WooCommerce Security Audit & Implementation Process
