Backups & Security

Hardening, patching, scanning and nightly backups
kept off the machine they protect, included on every plan.

Security is part of the hosting

There is no separate security product to remember to buy, because a site we are responsible for never ships without protection. The security layer is our own plugin: fourteen hardening controls, login lockout, security headers and a daily vulnerability scan  delivering its own updates over a cryptographically signed channel.

Hardening Applied at setup and maintained
Patching In a maintenance window, not at random
Scanning A daily vulnerability scan that fails honestly: if it cannot check, it says so instead of showing green
SSL Configured and kept renewed
Backups Nightly, written to storage separate from the server
Recovery A bad update is a restore, not a rebuild
Included from All plans

Why backups live off-site

A backup stored on the same server it protects is not a backup . Across our entire infrastructure - the engines that publish, route, and monitor for you -backups run nightly and are encrypted before leaving the machine. Retained for 30 days, their decryption keys are kept strictly offline. Ours are written somewhere separate, every night, so the recovery starts from a known good state.

What happens if the site goes down?

Monitoring alerts us, and in most cases we are working on it before anyone tells us. If a bad update caused it, the nightly backup means a rollback rather than a debugging session.

How far back do backups go?

Nightly, with a rolling window. If you need a longer retention period for a compliance reason, tell us and we will scope it.

Do you guarantee we will never be compromised?

No, and nobody honestly can. What we control is how hard it is to get in, how fast we notice, and what state the recovery starts from.

When did you last test a restore?

Most people have never tried. We will tell you what yours would look like.
