That Actually Stop Attacks.
Most “WordPress security” content online is a list of plugins to install. Plugins help, but they do not fix a site that is already compromised, and they do not fix the misconfiguration that let the attacker in the first place.
CV Infotech removes active malware, recovers hacked sites, and hardens WordPress installs so the same hole does not get exploited twice. If your site is compromised right now, go straight to /wordpress-security/malware-removal/ or /wordpress-security/hacked-site-fix/.
What WordPress Security Actually Covers
WordPress security splits into two very different problems. The first is an active compromise, a site that has already been hacked and is currently doing something it should not. The second is prevention, hardening a clean site so it does not become the first kind of problem.
We handle both, and we are honest about which one you have before we quote anything. If your site is showing symptoms right now, the fastest path is /wordpress-security/hacked-site-fix/ for diagnosis or /wordpress-security/malware-removal/ if you already know it is malware. If your site is clean, the hardening and specific-threat pages below cover the individual issues attackers use most.
Francisco Escobar's WordPress infrastructure has run active scanning and monitoring for the full 14 years CV Infotech has managed it, with zero confirmed breaches across that entire period. Steven's AI platforms have run on infrastructure we secured proactively since 2019, not after an incident. If you are trying to work out whether your current setup is actually secure, start at /wordpress-security/is-wordpress-secure/.
24-Hour Response On Active Infections
A confirmed malware infection gets triaged within 2 hours and typically resolved within 24, not left in a queue behind lower-priority work.
We Would Rather Prevent Than Clean Up
Hardening a clean site is cheaper and less stressful than recovering a hacked one, and we tell every client this plainly, not just after something has already gone wrong.
Written Report On Every Engagement
You keep a written record of what was found and fixed, useful even if you manage the site yourself afterward.
Money-Back If Not Fully Clean
If your site tests clean on Google Safe Browsing, Sucuri SiteCheck, and our own scanner, we guarantee it or refund the work.

Malware Removal
Active infections removed within 24 hours, with the entry point closed, not just the visible symptom deleted.

Diagnosis first, confirming what is actually happening before any cleanup begins.
See /wordpress-security/hacked-site-fix/Security Hardening

See /wordpress-security/brute-force-protection/Why CV Infotech For WordPress Security
Most security work is reactive because most people do not think about WordPress security until something goes wrong. We would rather harden a clean site than clean up an infected one, and we tell every client that plainly.
John Gowland's real estate platform in the UK was built with security hardening included from day one, not added after a problem. Laura Maher's ongoing WordPress work with us from Australia runs on this same proactive standard.
This is not for you if:
- Your site was hacked five minutes ago and you need someone on the phone right now instead of reading a website, contact us directly and skip straight to /wordpress-security/malware-removal/
- Your hosting provider's plan already includes managed malware removal as a service
- You are comfortable with server terminal and FTP and prefer to handle security yourself
- You need a full site rebuild rather than a security fix, see /wordpress-development-company/
If you have time to read first, keep going, understanding what happened helps you avoid it happening again.

None of these mean you are hacked. All of them mean it is worth checking.
| # | Item | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No security plugin installed | Baseline protection, costs nothing to configure |
| 2 | Admin username is still 'admin' | The single most brute-forced username on WordPress |
| 3 | No two-factor authentication on admin accounts | See /wordpress-security/two-factor-authentication/ |
| 4 | WordPress core has not been updated in 6+ months | Outdated cores are the top hack vector industry-wide |
| 5 | You do not know how many admin accounts exist | Orphaned accounts from old staff or freelancers are a real risk |
| 6 | No recent backup you have tested restoring | A backup you have never restored is not a real backup |
| 7 | Site is on shared hosting with unknown neighbours | Cross-site contamination is common on cheap shared hosting |
| 8 | XML-RPC has never been reviewed | See /wordpress-security/xmlrpc-disable/ |

How A WordPress Security Engagement Works
From triage to written report, whether it is an active infection or proactive hardening.
We confirm what is actually happening: active infection, false positive, or a configuration issue mimicking a hack.
If it is active, we isolate the infection to stop it spreading or continuing to serve malicious content.
Full removal of malicious files, database entries, and unauthorised admin accounts.
We close the specific hole that let the attacker in, not just a generic checklist.
Google Safe Browsing recheck, blocklist removal requests where needed, and a full scan confirming the site is clean.
Written report of what happened, what we did, and what to change going forward.
