Is my website protected against spam and brute force attacks?

Modified on Mon, 14 Jul at 1:30 PM

Your website may or may NOT be equipped with basic protection measures to defend against common threats like spam and brute force login attempts. This really depends on who created your website and whether security was taken into account in the process.

If your website was created by another company and not Private Practice Elevation, our team will asses the security of your website. If basic security features are lacking, our team can install them to ensure your website is protected.

? Basic Security Features Included:

Spam Protection: We can implement essential tools such as anti-spam filters on your contact forms and blog comments (if enabled), which help block bots and reduce the chances of receiving spam messages or fake submissions.
Brute Force Protection: We can configure your site to limit the number of login attempts from any one IP address. This helps stop automated bots from repeatedly trying to guess your login credentials.
Firewall & Monitoring: A security plugin can be installed to add another layer of protection, monitoring suspicious activity and providing alerts if something looks off.

?️ What Else Do You Do to Protect My Website?

While these basic measures are sufficient for many small practice websites, our care plans include some other proactive steps toward protecting your website, including:

Real-time malware scanning
Regular plugin and theme updates
Daily backups and quick recovery options
Proactive monitoring and response
