Security and backups
Protection and recovery need to be planned together. Seven Creative can help review website security configuration and backup arrangements so you understand the current position and what would be needed to recover from a problem.
Who this is for
This is for businesses unsure whether backups are usable, who has administrator access or how software updates are managed. It is also useful when taking over an established website with incomplete records. If an incident is already suspected, explain that clearly so the enquiry is treated as recovery work.
Scope and deliverables
Review of website access and permissions; software and update status; certificate and relevant protection settings; backup coverage and storage arrangements; retention; and an appropriate restore-check plan. Off-site or offline copies may be relevant depending on the requirement. Sensitive information and copies must be handled through an agreed secure process.
How the work is approached
We establish what needs protecting, who manages each component and which recovery materials exist. Findings are prioritised so obvious gaps can be addressed before optional refinements. Backup arrangements are documented with responsibilities and limitations. Restore checks are scoped carefully, using a suitable isolated environment where appropriate rather than casually overwriting a working website.
What this helps you do
A documented recovery route can make a difficult incident less uncertain. Good access management and maintenance can reduce avoidable exposure, but no configuration guarantees security. Backup presence alone is not proof that all required data is covered or that recovery will fit a business deadline.
Does this include penetration testing or guaranteed recovery?
No. Formal penetration testing, specialist incident investigation and business recovery commitments require a separate explicit scope. Backup frequency, retention and recovery expectations must be agreed for your service. Cross-linking this work with hosting and WordPress support helps clarify responsibilities without pretending that the services are interchangeable.
