Website Security in Durham
Securing Durham organisations' sites against how compromises actually occur. Almost none begin with someone attacking your code: they begin with a known vulnerability in a dependency nobody updated, a credential reused elsewhere and leaked, or an access key committed to a repository years ago.
Why this comes up
The problem
Nobody knows what the site depends on, several people share an administrator login, and the security position is whatever the hosting company includes by default.
What you get
What we deliver
- Dependency inventory with alerting, since known vulnerabilities are published daily
- Administrative access reduced and protected with multi-factor authentication
- Secrets moved out of code and rotated, including any already exposed
- Security headers and transport configuration set to current expectations
- A firewall in front of the site, filtering the automated traffic that never stops
- Logging that would let you reconstruct an incident afterwards

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.

Website Security in Durham — common questions
- How do sites actually get compromised?
- Through outdated dependencies with published vulnerabilities, and through credentials — reused, phished or leaked. Bespoke exploitation of your own code is rare by comparison. That is fortunate, because both common routes are addressable with unglamorous, inexpensive discipline.
- Is our host not handling this?
- They secure the infrastructure, not your application. Hosting protects the server, its network and often the platform, and leaves your dependencies, your code, your integrations and your users' credentials to you. Assuming otherwise is a common and consequential gap.
- What about secrets in code?
- Anything committed to a repository should be considered exposed, including in deleted commits and private repositories, which get shared and forked. Rotating keys that have ever been committed, and moving them into managed secret storage, closes a route that is trivially exploited.
- Why does logging matter?
- Because after an incident the first questions are when it started and what was accessed, and without logs the honest answer is that you do not know. That uncertainty forces you to assume the worst, which makes any data protection notification far more serious.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
