Cybersecurity for secure websites and web applications
Websites, online shops and web applications are constantly exposed to automated attacks, known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Security problems often arise from the interplay of CMS, extensions, custom code, server environment and interfaces.
As a full-service digital agency, we review your technical systems as a whole, identify specific risks and help you fix them and keep your digital infrastructure secure over time.
Why ongoing security measures are necessary
Outdated software and components
CMS versions, frameworks, libraries or server components that are no longer supported receive no or only limited security updates. As a result, known vulnerabilities can remain open indefinitely.
Insecure plugins, extensions and modules
Extensions increase the attack surface of a website or application. Outdated, abandoned or customised components whose security status is not checked regularly are particularly critical.
Automated attacks and vulnerability scans
Publicly accessible systems are continuously scanned by automated tools for known security gaps, open interfaces, login areas and misconfigurations.
Misconfigurations in application and server
Insecure file permissions, faulty access rules, unnecessarily exposed services or problematic server configurations can create security risks even when the software is up to date.
Missing updates and maintenance processes
Cybersecurity is not a one-off state. New vulnerabilities are discovered all the time. Without structured update, review and maintenance processes, the technical risk grows over time.
Typical signs that action is needed
A technical security review is particularly advisable if:
- your CMS, shop system or framework is out of date.
- plugins, extensions or modules are no longer maintained.
- PHP, database or server versions are no longer supported.
- security updates have not been installed for a long time.
- custom extensions have not been reviewed for a long time.
- unusual access or repeated login attempts occur.
- the website has been tampered with or already compromised.
- server and hosting configurations have not been checked for a long time.
Our cybersecurity services
We combine security with development and technical support. This means that vulnerabilities we find are not just documented but fixed directly in the affected systems.
Security check & technical analysis
Review of your website, shop or web application for outdated software versions, known vulnerabilities and security-relevant misconfigurations.
CMS & application security
Technical hardening of CMS, shop systems and custom applications, including extensions, forms, interfaces and login areas.
Patch & update management
Planning and installing security-relevant updates for CMS, frameworks, plugins, extensions and other technical dependencies.
Server & infrastructure
Review of relevant settings for web server, PHP, database, file permissions and access structures within the web infrastructure we manage.
Custom code review
Analysis of your own extensions, interfaces and custom features for technical vulnerabilities and insecure implementations.
Monitoring & maintenance
Regular checks of the components and software versions in use and of relevant security advisories, plus installation of necessary updates.
Fixing security problems
Technical analysis and clean-up of tampered or compromised websites, and removal of the underlying vulnerabilities.
Security for different systems
We look after content management systems, e-commerce platforms, frameworks and custom-built web applications.
Have the security status of your systems checked
We analyse your website, shop or web application and show clearly which technical risks exist and which measures make sense. We look at the application, extensions and technical infrastructure as one connected system.
