Already been hacked?

The plans above are for keeping it from happening. If your site is compromised right now, the Emergency service is immediate assistance to recover it - a different thing, bought at a different moment.

What it looks at

Six things, checked every day

Most sites are compromised for weeks before anyone notices. Daily scanning is mainly about shortening that.

01

Website files

A deep FTP scan across everything you have uploaded, not just what is reachable from the homepage.

02

Applications

WordPress, its plugins and themes, and the other software running your site - which is where most compromises actually start.

03

Email

Outbound mail, because a compromised site sending spam is usually how a business finds out it has a problem.

04

Visitor traffic

Requests hitting the site, looking for the patterns that come before an attack rather than after it.

05

File changes

Anything that changed since the last scan. A file you did not edit changing on its own is the clearest early signal there is.

06

Blacklists

Whether search engines have flagged the site - so you hear it from us rather than from a customer who could not reach you.

What it finds

The ways sites actually get broken

Not exotic attacks. These are the common ones, and they are common because they keep working.

SQL injection

Input that is passed to the database unchecked, letting an attacker read or change data they should never reach.

Cross-site scripting

Malicious script served to your visitors from your own domain, which is what makes it effective.

Remote file inclusion

Code pulled in from somewhere else and executed by your site as though you had written it.

Broken authentication

Weak session or login handling that lets somebody become another user, often an administrator.

Unvalidated redirects

Your domain used to bounce visitors to a phishing or malware page, borrowing your reputation to do it.

Questions

About website security

Not sure whether you need this? Run the free scan first - it costs nothing and it answers the question.

Is there a free option?

Yes. Lite scans up to five pages at no cost, which is enough to tell you whether there is a problem worth paying to fix. It is the sensible place to start.

What is the difference between Find and Fix?

Find tells you. Fix does something about it. If nobody on your side is going to log in and clean malware by hand, Find will only ever give you bad news you cannot act on.

What does the firewall add?

Defend puts a web application firewall in front of the site, so a lot of attack traffic never reaches it. Scanning finds what got in; the firewall reduces what gets the chance.

How quickly does it tell me?

Alerts go out by email and SMS as soon as something is detected, rather than in a weekly summary. On the tiers with automatic removal it will often have dealt with it before you read the message.

What is the trust seal?

A badge you can display showing the site is scanned and clean. Whether it moves your conversion rate is not something we will put a number on - the honest reason to buy this is the scanning, not the badge.

My site is already hacked. What now?

That is what the Emergency service is for - it is immediate assistance to recover a site that has already been compromised, rather than a monitoring plan. Talk to us and we will get it started.

Does this replace backups?

No, and nothing does. Backups get you back after something goes wrong; this reduces how often that happens and how long it goes unnoticed. Daily offsite backups are already on our hosting plans.

Can I use it on a site hosted elsewhere?

Yes. SiteLock works over FTP and DNS rather than needing to be on our servers, so it does not require you to move the site to us.

Find out what is on your site, for nothing

The free scan covers five pages and takes a few minutes. If it comes back clean, that is a useful thing to know too.
