Quick answer
What are website security services?
Website security services protect a business website from hacking, malware, and abuse. That includes a web application firewall, malware scanning and removal, hardening WordPress and hosting settings, keeping plugins patched, SSL, backups, and cleaning up and recovering a site that has already been hacked.
Los Angeles IT secures and repairs websites for Los Angeles businesses from our Century City headquarters. Security reviews and hacked-site cleanup are $95 per hour, and ongoing protection is part of our website management for $250 per website per month.

Security review →Protected vs. Unprotected
A Protected Website vs. a Typical One
Most small business websites are hacked through outdated plugins and weak logins, not sophisticated attacks.
| Protected by us | Typical small business site | |
|---|---|---|
| Plugins and themes | ✓ Patched on a schedule | Months out of date |
| Login page | ✓ MFA and brute-force blocking | Default admin, weak password |
| Firewall | ✓ Blocks attacks before they reach the site | None |
| Malware | ✓ Scanned regularly | Found by customers or Google |
| Backups | ✓ Offsite and restorable | Stored on the same server |
| After a hack | ✓ Cleaned and hardened | Restored with the same hole open |
How It Works
How We Clean Up a Hacked Website
We fix the site and the reason it was hacked, so it doesn't happen again next week.
STEP 01
Contain
We take a backup of the infected site for evidence, change passwords, and put up a firewall.
STEP 02
Clean
We remove malware, spam, and backdoors, and replace core files with clean copies.
STEP 03
Close the hole
We find how attackers got in, often an outdated plugin or stolen login, and fix it.
STEP 04
Recover & protect
We request removal of Google warnings, then monitor and maintain the site.

Warning Signs
Signs Your Website Has Been Hacked
Hacked sites don't always look hacked. Common signs include Google showing "This site may be hacked" or a red warning screen, visitors being redirected to spam or scam sites, strange pages showing up in search results, new admin users you didn't create, your host suspending the account, or customers reporting pop-ups.
If you see any of these, call us. The longer malware stays, the more damage it does to your rankings and reputation.
Common signs
- Google warnings in search or Chrome
- Redirects to spam sites
- Spam pages in search results
- Unknown admin accounts
- Host suspension notices
WordPress Security
Why WordPress Sites Get Hacked
WordPress itself is secure when maintained. Most hacks come through outdated plugins and themes, reused or weak admin passwords, abandoned plugins, and cheap shared hosting. We address each one: patching, MFA on admin logins, removing unused plugins, and moving sites to better hosting when needed.
Hardening steps
- MFA on admin logins
- Unused plugins removed
- File editing disabled
- Least-privilege user accounts
Business Security
Website Security as Part of Your Cybersecurity
Your website shares a domain with your email, and attackers use hacked sites to send phishing or harvest logins. Because we also provide managed cybersecurity, we look at the website alongside your email security, DNS, and staff accounts.
Connected protection
- Domain and DNS security
- Email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
- Staff accounts with MFA
- One team for website and IT

FAQ
Website Security: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my website is hacked?
Common signs include Google or Chrome warnings, redirects to spam sites, strange pages in search results, unknown admin users, and host suspension notices.
How much does it cost to fix a hacked website?
Cleanup is $95 per hour. Most small business sites take a few hours, depending on how much was infected and whether clean backups exist.
How long does hacked website cleanup take?
It depends on how much of the site was infected. Many small business sites need a few hours of work, and clearing Google warnings can take a few more days after we request a review.
Can you remove the Google 'This site may be hacked' warning?
Yes. After cleanup, we request a review in Google Search Console, which removes the warning once Google confirms the site is clean.
Why was my website hacked?
Usually through an outdated plugin or theme, a weak or reused password, or insecure hosting. We find the cause during cleanup.
Do you secure WordPress websites?
Yes. We harden WordPress, add a firewall, enable MFA on admin logins, and keep plugins and themes patched.
What is a web application firewall?
A web application firewall filters traffic before it reaches your site, blocking common attacks, bad bots, and brute-force login attempts.
Is website security included in website management?
Yes. Updates, backups, malware scanning, and firewall monitoring are part of website management for $250 per website per month.
Will cleaning my site affect my Google rankings?
Cleaning it protects your rankings. Leaving malware in place is what causes ranking drops and warnings.
Do I need SSL?
Yes. SSL encrypts traffic and is expected by browsers and Google. We install and renew certificates and enforce HTTPS.
Can you check my website's security without a hack?
Yes. A security review checks your site, hosting, plugins, and logins and gives you a prioritized list of fixes.
Which areas do you serve?
We secure websites for businesses across Los Angeles County, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and San Diego County, and remotely anywhere.
