A real-world example of what proper WordPress incident response looks like when revenue, rankings, and customer trust are at risk.
The client approached us after noticing their website was redirecting users to external spam pages.
Critical issue: The infection was not limited to visible malware — multiple hidden backdoors existed.
The client had already attempted cleanup using standard tools and low-cost services.
This is a common failure pattern with incomplete recovery approaches.
We handled this as a full security incident, not a basic cleanup.
Within 48 hours:
After 30 days:
The client avoided:
A proper recovery prevented significantly higher losses.
After recovery, the client opted for ongoing security protection.
This ensures long-term stability.
Most hacked websites are not properly secured after cleanup.
Without root-cause resolution, reinfection is highly likely.
Alongside incident recovery, we also support retained security and hardening work for other high-value WordPress environments.
An insurance portal was running on an outdated WordPress environment with multiple known vulnerabilities while handling sensitive customer data.
We performed a full security audit, migrated the site onto a hardened stack, and introduced ongoing monitoring and access controls.
A fast-growing AI membership platform exposed security gaps that could have affected proprietary assets and client data.
We introduced custom WAF rules, deployment security reviews, and a higher-assurance recovery guarantee within a retained arrangement.
A high-volume retailer needed stronger protection around checkout, customer data, and uptime during active trading periods.
We hardened the WooCommerce environment, improved monitoring, and layered protections around payment and admin access.
Yes. This case study is based on a real incident response engagement. Client-identifying details are anonymised, but the technical challenge, business impact, and recovery process reflect the actual work performed.
Because only visible malware was removed. The hidden persistence mechanisms and root cause remained in place, which allowed reinfection within days.
The client moved into ongoing security protection with continuous monitoring, regular audits, and priority incident response to reduce future risk.
