WordPress Incident Response & Security Pricing
Built for Businesses That Cannot Afford Failure
Every incident is different. Pricing depends on severity, access level, and business impact.
Led by 20+ years of experience in infrastructure, cybersecurity, and enterprise systems.
Request AssessmentCritical incidents are prioritized immediately upon confirmation.
We prioritise a limited number of active incidents at a time.
Important context
This is not basic malware cleanup.
We handle active security incidents, compromised infrastructure, and business-critical systems.
If you are looking for the lowest cost fix, we are not the right fit.
How pricing works
We don't sell fixed packages — we recommend the right level of response based on your situation.
- Level of compromise
- Downtime impact
- Website complexity
- Presence of backdoors or persistent access
- SEO or blacklist damage
Based on your situation, we recommend the appropriate level of response.

Cost vs risk
Typical impact of a compromised website:
- Revenue loss: £1K–£10K+ per day
- SEO recovery: months
- Customer trust: long-term damage
Investing £5K–£10K now can prevent significantly higher losses later.
Why basic fixes fail
- Visible malware removed, hidden access remains
- No root cause identified
- No long-term protection
- Reinfection within weeks
That's why businesses come to us after failed attempts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is pricing decided?
Pricing depends on the level of compromise, business impact, website complexity, persistence or backdoors, and the recovery depth required to secure the environment properly.
Do most clients choose the lowest cost option?
No. Most businesses choose the Post-Hack Forensic & Hardening Package because it combines investigation, eradication, structural hardening, and post-recovery protection against reinfection.
Why are low-cost cleanups risky?
Because they often remove visible malware without closing the original access path, validating file and database integrity, or implementing ongoing protection.
Who is this service suitable for?
It is designed for revenue-generating websites, eCommerce platforms, agencies, and businesses where downtime, data loss, or SEO damage has direct financial consequences.
Do you offer monthly retainers as well as incident response?
Yes. Many UK clients start with a one-time security audit or incident response engagement and then move to a monthly security retainer priced from £250 to £800 per month depending on complexity and response expectations.
