Security Testing

At Fewa Studio, we recognize how crucial it is to keep your website secure, particularly when using platforms like WordPress, which powers more than 40% of websites worldwide. While WordPress provides remarkable flexibility and features, its widespread use makes it a frequent target for cyberattacks. That’s why our Security Testing Services are tailored to strengthen your site against vulnerabilities and threats. We focus on comprehensive security measures to protect your business, from preventing unauthorized access to safeguarding your customer data. With Fewa Studio, you can be confident that your website is not only functional and visually appealing but also safe and secure.

Thorough Vulnerability Scanning

We conduct comprehensive scans to uncover vulnerabilities in your WordPress setup, including plugins, themes, and hosting environment. Our advanced tools and methods identify weaknesses before hackers have a chance to take advantage of them, helping to keep your website secure against potential threats.

  • Core File Integrity Checks
    We check your WordPress core files to make sure they haven’t been altered or infected with harmful code, ensuring your website remains stable and secure.
  • Plugin and Theme Vulnerability Analysis
    All installed plugins and themes are checked for known vulnerabilities and outdated versions, since these are the most frequent entry points for hackers.
  • Malware and Backdoor Detection
    We identify and remove any hidden malware or backdoors that attackers might exploit to compromise your website and gain access to sensitive information.
  • SQL Injection and XSS Testing
    We examine your website’s input fields and database interactions to safeguard against data theft and manipulation caused by SQL injection or cross-site scripting attacks.

User Enumeration Protection

Hackers frequently take advantage of WordPress’s default configurations to discover usernames and passwords. We use advanced methods to protect against user enumeration, securing your admin accounts and thwarting brute-force attacks.

  • Disabling Author Archives
    By restricting access to author archive pages, we make it harder for attackers to find valid usernames. This is a common tactic used for user enumeration on WordPress sites.
  • Renaming the Login URL
    Modifying the default WordPress login URL (wp-login.php) to a unique and less obvious URL significantly increases the difficulty for attackers trying to locate the login page for user enumeration or brute-force attacks.

Malware Detection and Removal

Malware can negatively impact your website’s performance and reputation. We thoroughly scan your site for malicious code, backdoors, and any suspicious activity, ensuring that threats are quickly identified and eliminated. Our proactive strategy helps maintain a clean and trustworthy site.

  • Comprehensive Malware Scanning
    We perform comprehensive scans of your website’s files and database to find and identify any hidden malware, suspicious scripts, or backdoors that attackers may have injected.
  • Malware Removal and Cleanup
    We will remove all malware and malicious code, ensuring your site is restored to its original integrity. Additionally, we conduct a thorough cleanup to get rid of any lingering traces of infections that might lead to future problems.

Plugin and Theme Audits

Outdated or poorly coded plugins and themes often lead to vulnerabilities. We thoroughly review and audit all third-party add-ons installed on your WordPress site, making sure they are secure, up-to-date, and compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

  • Vulnerability Scanning
    We examine all installed plugins and themes for any known security vulnerabilities, outdated versions, and possible exploits. This process helps us pinpoint risky components that might leave your site vulnerable to attacks.
  • Code Review and Compatibility Checks
    We examine the code of custom plugins and themes to make sure they adhere to secure coding standards. Furthermore, we verify their compatibility with the latest version of WordPress to avoid any conflicts that might pose security threats.

Secure Login Practices

Your login page serves as the entry point to your website, and we take that responsibility seriously. By enforcing strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and implementing CAPTCHA, we ensure that your login system is fortified against intruders.

  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
    We use two-factor authentication to enhance the security of the login process. This means that users must confirm their identity using a second method, such as a code sent to their phone, along with their password.
  • Strong Password Enforcement
    We implement strict password policies that mandate the use of complex passwords, which include a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters. Additionally, we prohibit the use of common or easily guessable passwords to minimize the risk of brute-force attacks.

Regular Updates and Backups

We make sure that your WordPress core, plugins, and themes are consistently updated to the latest versions. Additionally, we implement automated backups, allowing you to swiftly restore your site in the event of a breach or data loss.

  • Scheduled Backups
    We have established regular automated backups to guarantee that your website’s data, files, and configurations are securely stored. If an attack occurs or data is lost, you can swiftly restore your site to its latest, secure version.
  • Automated Software Updates
    We make sure that your WordPress core, themes, and plugins are automatically updated to the latest secure versions, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities from outdated software.

Database Security Hardening

WordPress databases frequently become targets for attacks. We enhance and protect your database using methods such as changing prefixes, implementing access restrictions, and applying encryption, which helps minimize the risk of SQL injection and data breaches.

  • Database Prefix Change
    Changing the default WordPress database table prefix from wp_ to a custom one helps to obscure table names, making it harder for attackers to guess and execute SQL injection attacks.
  • Access Control and Permissions
    We limit database access by setting up appropriate user roles and permissions. This ensures that only authorized users and applications can interact with the database, which helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access or manipulation.

Spam and Bot Mitigation

We employ various strategies to block spam comments and prevent bots from overwhelming your server, ensuring that your website operates seamlessly and your users enjoy a top-notch experience.

  • CAPTCHA Implementation
    We use CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA on forms, login pages, and comment sections to stop automated bots from sending spam or trying to brute-force their way into accounts.
  • IP Blocking and Rate Limiting
    We set up IP blocking for recognized spam sources and implement rate limiting to control the number of requests a user or bot can send in a given time period. This approach helps to stop bots from flooding your site with spam or harmful actions.
