Every website owner has ever faced attacks on their web resource. Someone may lose money because of hacking attacks and someone their entire business. It sometimes happens that hacking leads to a complete loss of rankings in search engines, and Google warns visitors that the website may harm their computer. In this case, 90% of customers are lost and it is often easier for a website owner to launch a new website than to restore the reputation and search engine positions of the previous one.
It goes without saying that each case is specific and requires a custom-tailored approach, but it is always better to prevent hacking than to restore code and rebuild customer confidence later. Proactive enterprise website security measures and continuous security monitoring are far more cost-effective than emergency incident response and the long-term damage to your brand and search engine visibility.
Below are the examples of those who run the highest risk and for whom our advanced web protection services are strongly recommended.
These six categories of website owners face the highest risk of cyberattacks and benefit the most from professional security services, malware removal, and continuous monitoring.
Of course, many of us have had to resort to freelancers — and these are often strangers who frequently live abroad. You can judge a person only by their rating, which can be boosted artificially as well. You know nothing about the integrity of the person, and all that is left to do is hope that they will not leave a backdoor in the developed code and that you will not be victimized by a hacker who works as a freelancer while simultaneously selling access to websites for malware installation.
You should also understand that you will hardly be able to determine on your own how qualified the software engineer who developed the code for you actually is. All people make mistakes — and even the smallest mistake in developed code may lead to the most serious consequences, including full website compromise, data theft, and search engine blacklisting.
Every website management system is a complicated structure with complex software code. Of course, developers issue security updates on an ongoing basis, but hackers also advance — their methods get improved and more sophisticated. Consider that most websites on the web — and these are millions of websites — use free CMS platforms. When hackers find a vulnerability in one of these systems, they launch a global attack against all websites using that platform.
For example, in summer 2013, massive attacks on WordPress, Joomla, and even vBulletin were discovered. Luckily for our customers, all who used our security monitoring services were warned in advance and avoided the devastating consequences. Whether you use WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, or OpenCart, professional malware removal and proactive protection are essential to defend against zero-day exploits and widespread automated attacks.
You should take into account that if you use shared hosting and not your own dedicated server, when a hacker gains access to your neighbor's website, they can easily gain access to your web resource as well. It is not wise to count solely on the efficiency and expertise of a hosting company. You should realize that most often you deal with resellers and agents — not with those who actually work at the data centers. An agent's primary business is to sell hosting plans, not to care about your website security.
Shared hosting environments are inherently more vulnerable because hundreds of websites share the same server resources. A single compromised account can serve as a gateway to infect all neighboring websites — making independent advanced web protection and server-side scanning tools absolutely critical for your security.
Many developers, when issuing a product, set as their primary task not security system development but good advertising and increasing the number of sales. As a result, many modules and plugins are very vulnerable, containing lots of poorly written, nonprofessional code with exploitable security flaws.
Third-party plugins and extensions are one of the most common attack vectors for CMS-based websites. Even a single vulnerable plugin can give attackers full server access, enable SQL injection, or allow remote code execution. Regular security scanning and vulnerability monitoring are essential when you rely on any third-party code in your website.
With the help of our security tools, you can monitor all changes introduced by you or your software engineers. By comparing files before and after work, you can clearly understand what changes have been made — helping you save a significant amount of time and money for your company.
Our file change monitoring system provides developers with a powerful audit trail, ensuring code integrity throughout the development lifecycle. It is an essential tool for development teams practicing corporate website protection and maintaining full accountability across distributed teams.
If you are a website owner and you are not experienced in software engineering, it will be difficult for you to understand what the developers you have employed actually do. Our tools will not only show what has been changed but will also help you monitor the progress of work on your website.
For example, you have hired software engineers who quote $1,000 because of task complexity. But several days have passed and they haven't changed a single file on your website, even though they claim that work is well under way. Our monitoring tools give you full transparency and control over every modification made to your website's files and database — protecting you from both hackers and dishonest contractors.
To sum up, we would like to say that every website owner should take measures to protect their web resource. But reliable protection can only be ensured by highly qualified specialists who have long-term experience in this sphere. Remember that sound defensive strategy does not assume that an enemy will never attack — it ensures that you have made a successful attack impossible.

Common questions about who needs our website security services and how SiteGuarding protects businesses of all types and sizes.
Yes. Hackers use automated tools that scan the entire internet for vulnerabilities — they don't discriminate by website size. Small websites are often targeted specifically because they typically have weaker security, making them easy targets for malware distribution, spam hosting, and phishing pages.
Absolutely. Even the most skilled developers make mistakes, and new vulnerabilities are discovered daily in CMS platforms, frameworks, and plugins. Professional website security is a continuous process, not a one-time setup. Our monitoring tools also help you verify and track the work your developers do.
On shared hosting, hundreds of websites share the same server. If any one of them gets hacked, the attacker can potentially access your files and database through the shared environment. Most hosting companies focus on sales, not security, so independent server-side scanning and protection is essential for your safety.
