Protecting company data requires knowing what data and systems matter, who can access them, how they are secured, where copies exist and how the organisation will respond if something goes wrong. Core controls include supported software, multi-factor authentication, strong access management, encryption, tested backups, supplier governance, staff awareness and a documented incident plan.

WordPress security is an ongoing risk-management process covering supported core software, plugins and themes, trusted sources, least-privilege access, multi-factor authentication, secure hosting and file permissions, backups, logging, monitoring and a tested recovery plan.
