WordPress Security in Dundee
Hardening Dundee WordPress sites against the attacks that actually happen. Compromises overwhelmingly arrive through an outdated plugin or a weak administrator password rather than through WordPress itself, and the attacks are automated — nobody selected your site, a script found a version number it recognised.
Why this comes up
The problem
Anyone with the login can install anything, several people share an administrator account, and the only defence is a security plugin nobody has configured.
What you get
What we deliver
- Administrator access limited to those who genuinely need it
- Two-factor authentication enforced on every account that can change the site
- Plugin and theme inventory reviewed, with abandoned code removed
- File permissions and editing restrictions set so uploads cannot become code
- Login attempts limited and monitored, since credential guessing is constant
- A response plan, because recovery decisions are made badly under pressure

WordPress Security in Dundee — common questions
- Is WordPress inherently insecure?
- No — core is maintained seriously and patched quickly. The exposure comes from the ecosystem around it, where plugin quality varies enormously and abandoned code stays installed for years. Its popularity also guarantees that every site is scanned continuously by automated tools.
- What is the most effective single change?
- Two-factor authentication on administrator accounts, followed by removing administrator rights from people who only publish content. Most compromises that are not plugin vulnerabilities are stolen or guessed passwords, and both measures address that directly and cheaply.
- Do security plugins work?
- Configured properly they add useful defence in depth. Installed and left at defaults, they mostly generate email nobody reads while the actual risks — an outdated plugin, shared logins, no update process — remain exactly as they were.
- What if we are compromised?
- Treat it as a possible personal data breach, not just a technical incident. If the site holds customer details, UK data protection law imposes assessment and notification duties on a short timescale, and that clock starts when you become aware rather than when you finish investigating.
- Do you work with businesses across Dundee City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Dundee and the surrounding Dundee City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Dundee businesses do you usually work with?
- Interactive and games-adjacent development, plus life sciences data systems tied to the university research base. Beyond that we work across Games & Digital, Life Sciences, Higher Education, Healthcare and Marine.
- Do you cover the areas around Dundee?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Perth, Aberdeen, Edinburgh. Dundee is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Dundee City region rather than the city boundary alone.
