Web Security
Version Management & Vulnerability Monitoring
Always maintain the latest and safest state
CMS like WordPress are widely used for websites due to their convenience and flexibility. However, many of them are left with outdated PHP, CMS core, or plugin/theme versions, posing security risks. With over 25 years of experience in website management, we accurately grasp your CMS configuration and provide integrated management and monitoring for PHP versions, the CMS core, and plugins. We can handle situations like 'the person in charge retired and we don't know how to update' or 'it hasn't been updated since it was first set up,' maintaining your system's health on your behalf.
Collecting vulnerability information and planning updates
New vulnerabilities in CMS and plugins are discovered daily, and incidents of website tampering and data breaches due to exploitation of disclosed vulnerabilities are increasing year by year. PHP, in particular, has official support end-of-life (EOL) dates, and continuing to use a version past its EOL is equivalent to ignoring known vulnerabilities. We regularly check the versions and support status of PHP, the CMS core, plugins, and themes, cross-referencing this with vulnerability information. We then prioritize updates based on risk level and implement them systematically.
Comprehensive support from investigation to update planning
Along with maintenance contracts, we often receive requests like 'we want to understand the current state of our CMS and plugins.' We offer one-stop support, from investigating your existing site's configuration and diagnosing vulnerabilities in used plugins to assessing the impact of updates. We plan according to your situation, from proposing a maintenance system that ensures ongoing safety to carrying out the actual update work.
Security Incident Response
Quick detection and accurate initial response
Cyberattacks are evolving every day, and no matter how many precautions you take, it is impossible to completely reduce the possibility of incidents like defacement or unauthorized access to zero. The key is combining "measures to prevent them from happening" with "how quickly you can notice them when they do happen and keep the damage to a minimum." We’ve got a system in place so you can stay calm and handle things even if an emergency hits.
Speedy response and reporting when things happen
If an incident does happen, we act fast to track down and isolate infected files, investigate the cause, and restore everything from backups. E-commerce sites and sites handling personal info especially need to pinpoint the damage and show how they'll stop it from happening again, so we can also put together clear incident reports and help you report to everyone involved.
Emergency one-off support available too
We've got your back if you're thinking, "My site got hacked and I have no idea who to talk to," or "We don't have anyone in-house who can handle this." You can reach out for emergency one-off support whether you have an ongoing maintenance contract with us or not. We handle everything right through to the aftermath, including tips on beefing up your security so it doesn't happen again.
Proactive security measures
Multi-layered defense to stop attacks before they happen
Security is all about cutting down risks beforehand rather than scrambling after an incident hits. We suggest multi-layered security mixing a bunch of defenses, like setting up a WAF (Web Application Firewall), limiting access to your admin panel, and helping you roll out two-factor authentication. Since login screens are a favorite target for attackers, we make sure to lock down the basics that pack a punch, like limiting login attempts and enforcing strong password rules.
Regularly checking easily missed details
We also keep an eye on things people often forget, like SSL certificate expiration dates and proper security header settings, so your site always stays up to date on security standards. Plus, running regular vulnerability checks lets us catch hidden risks early and deal with them before attackers can sniff them out.
Step-by-step measures starting with a checkup of your current setup
Even if you are thinking, "I don't know where to start with security," we can begin by diagnosing your current situation and helping you tackle improvements step-by-step based on priority. We'll work with you to figure out the right security level for your site's size and the sensitivity of your data, and then suggest the best, stress-free measures for your budget and needs.
Backup and Recovery System
A reliable backup system to protect your data
Data loss for websites can occur due to various factors such as server failures, cyberattacks, and human error. No matter how many precautions you take, it's difficult to completely avoid unforeseen circumstances, so it's essential to have a system in place that allows you to restore data quickly if something happens. We perform regular automatic backups of both databases and files, and keep multiple generations to enable recovery to various points in time.
Ensuring reliability with offsite storage and restore tests
Backup data is stored in a separate location (offsite) from the production server, establishing a system to protect data even if the server itself fails. To avoid cases where backups are thought to be taken but cannot actually be restored properly, we regularly conduct restore tests to confirm in advance that data can be reliably recovered in case of an emergency.
Operation and Maintenance Process
A maintenance and operation system that continuously supports you
Maintenance and operation of CMS and servers is not a one-time task; it requires continuous checks and updates. However, many companies find it difficult to have dedicated staff internally, and we often hear concerns such as 'We don't know who is in charge' or 'The previous person retired and no handover was done.' We will act as your IT department, providing consistent support from daily operational management to emergency response.
Flexible system for tailored support
We will flexibly plan inquiry methods and support hours to match your operational structure and budget. We support the creation of a system that allows you to confidently entrust us with a wide range of tasks, from routine maintenance to emergency response.
