Security Hardening and Backups: Protect Your Business Before Something Happens

A hacked website or a corrupted database can stop sales, destroy campaigns and damage your brand in a single day. IdiconWeb provides end-to-end Security Hardening and Backup Strategy so your digital assets are protected against attacks, human errors and technical failures.

We secure the full stack: server, control panel, CMS, code, plugins, user accounts, APIs and integrations. At the same time, we design a robust backup system that allows fast recovery — not just “some files in a folder” that nobody has ever tested.

Whether you run a corporate website, an e-shop, a booking platform or a complex ecosystem of systems, IdiconWeb ensures your infrastructure is hardened, monitored and restorable.

Security is not a one-time checkbox; it is a continuous process — and we handle it for you.

We Lock Down the Server Layer First

Attackers rarely start from your homepage; they target weak server configurations, default ports, outdated packages and misconfigured firewalls. IdiconWeb hardens your Linux servers (CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky, Ubuntu, Debian) and control panels such as Plesk and cPanel, as well as VPS, dedicated and cloud instances.

We implement:

• OS updates and security patches
• SSH hardening, key-based access, fail2ban/brute-force protection
• Firewall policies (CSF, UFW, iptables, cloud firewalls)
• Intrusion and malware detection tools
• Secure PHP, web server and database configuration
• Isolation between sites and accounts where possible

For cloud infrastructures we also apply security groups, network ACLs, VPN access and zero-trust principles where appropriate.

IdiconWeb closes the obvious doors — and the less obvious ones.

We Secure the CMS, Plugins, User Accounts and Payment Flows

The second layer is your application: WordPress, WooCommerce, CS-Cart, Laravel, Botble, custom PHP or any other framework. IdiconWeb audits the codebase, plugins, extensions, themes and configuration for security risks.

We focus on:

• Strong login policies (2FA, rate limits, IP checks)
• User roles and permissions (least privilege principle)
• Removing unused plugins, themes and modules
• Securing admin panels and sensitive routes
• Web application firewall (WAF) rules and bot filtering
• Secure handling of forms, uploads and file permissions
• Secure configurations for payments, MyData, ERPs and APIs

This reduces the attack surface significantly and lowers the chance of common hacks like credential stuffing, brute force and injection attacks.

IdiconWeb turns your application into a controlled, hardened environment.

Backups That Actually Work When You Need Them

A backup system is useless if, on the day of a problem, nobody can restore it. IdiconWeb designs and implements a real backup strategy for your websites, databases, files, emails and configuration.

We follow best practices such as the 3-2-1 rule:

• Multiple backup copies (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Stored on different media and locations (server, external storage, cloud)
• Off-site copies in case the datacentre fails
• Encrypted backups for sensitive data
• Separate backups for files and databases for faster restore
• Clear retention policies (how long each backup is kept)

Most importantly, we run test restores on staging environments to confirm that backups are valid, complete and restorable.

IdiconWeb ensures your backups are not just “enabled” — they are proven.

If Something Goes Wrong, We Help You Recover and Learn From It

Even with strong security, incidents can still happen: malware infections, defaced pages, spam injections, blacklists, data corruption or accidental deletions. IdiconWeb acts as your technical partner in incident response.

We:

• Contain the incident and limit further damage
• Identify the entry point and scope of compromise
• Clean malware and malicious code where possible
• Restore clean versions from backups if needed
• Check blacklists, search consoles and mail reputation
• Document what happened and how to avoid it in the future

We combine remediation with hardening: after cleaning, we close the underlying weaknesses so the same attack is less likely to succeed again.

IdiconWeb doesn’t just “fix the problem”; we improve the system.

Security Is Ongoing: Monitoring and Compliance as a Service

Threats evolve constantly. New vulnerabilities appear, plugins change, employees leave, passwords leak. IdiconWeb offers continuous security monitoring and assistance with your compliance goals.

We can:

• Monitor uptime, SSL status and key services
• Watch for unusual load, traffic or connection patterns
• Track login attempts and suspicious activity
• Check for outdated software and exposed vulnerabilities
• Assist with GDPR-related technical controls (encryption, logs, access)
• Provide periodic reports and recommendations

Combined with a solid backup strategy, this gives your business a much stronger security posture than “default hosting plus an antivirus”.

IdiconWeb becomes your long-term partner for keeping your online assets safe.
