Website Security Hardening

Close Security Gaps Without Breaking the Site.

Get a focused review and approved hardening for known exposure, conflicting controls, or risky configuration. Start with a defined scope that protects the checkout, logins, forms, and other functions your business needs.

Consultation-based work · No testing or production changes without written authorization.

Consultation-Based Service

From a Known Risk to a Controlled Fix.

The right scope depends on your website, infrastructure, existing controls, and the functions that must stay available. Start with the problem you need to solve; we define the systems and exclusions before work begins.

01 · Understand the Gap

Security Configuration Review

Examine the relevant access paths, exposed services, TLS, security headers, administrative surfaces, and protective controls. Separate evidence from assumptions.

02 · Plan the Change

Prioritized Remediation Plan

Turn a finding or known concern into practical recommendations, dependencies, validation steps, and a sensible order of work.

03 · Implement When Approved

Website Hardening

Make specifically approved configuration changes when implementation is included in scope. Check that business-critical functions still work and document the result.

Not every project requires live changes. A findings-only configuration review is possible; implementation is agreed separately when needed.

What You Can Expect

Work You Can Review and Act On.

No open-ended block of general IT time. A focused engagement should make the security decision, proposed changes, and remaining risk easier to understand.

  • Defined Systems, Goals, and Exclusions
  • Evidence Supporting Findings
  • Prioritized Recommendations
  • Approved Change Record When Applicable
  • Validation of Critical Website Functions
  • Remaining Risk and Next Steps
How We Start

Scope Before Access or Changes.

  1. Describe the situation. Share the symptoms, affected domain, and business impact—never credentials or sensitive records.
  2. Confirm the engagement. Agree on systems, authorization, exclusions, timing, access, and validation expectations.
  3. Review or harden. Receive findings and next steps, or complete specifically approved changes with validation.

A More Specific Starting Point May Fit Better.

If the main question is Cloudflare traffic, WordPress risk, or unknown exposure, start with the dedicated service. We will not assume broader repair work is included in a hardening review.

What Requires Separate Scope?

Malware cleanup, compromised-host recovery, application-code repair, hosting migration, general IT administration, and continuous incident response are not automatically included.

Active Security Issue?

Use the Dedicated Triage Route.

If your site is unavailable, exposing data, under attack, or blocking legitimate customers, describe the business impact through the urgent form. Triage is provided during U.S. business hours—not 24/7.

Questions Before You Start

Know the Scope Before the Work.

Can This Be a Review Without Production Changes?

Yes. A focused configuration review and prioritized plan can be scoped without implementation. Production changes are made only when included in the agreed work and approved in writing.

How Is a Hardening Project Priced?

Hardening is scoped to the site, systems, constraints, and outcome you need. We discuss the work before quoting it rather than treating every environment as the same fixed-price package. For a defined Cloudflare review or tuning package, see the Cloudflare Security page.

What If the Site Is Already Compromised?

Use the urgent triage form if the site is unavailable, exposing data, or under active attack. Triage is provided during U.S. business hours, not as a 24/7 response service. Malware cleanup, compromised-host recovery, and other containment or repair work require a separate scope.

Should I Send Credentials With My Request?

No. Do not send passwords, API keys, tokens, private keys, or recovery codes in a form or email. If access is needed, MHCS will arrange a separate least-privilege method.
