Website security is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time installation. Even a small business website benefits from a few consistent practices.
Use strong, unique passwords and enable multi-factor authentication wherever it is supported. Limit administrator access to people who genuinely need it and remove accounts when they are no longer required.
Keep your framework, dependencies, plugins and server software updated. Updates often address security issues as well as bugs and compatibility problems.
Maintain backups and periodically check that you can restore them. A backup is only useful if it is available when needed and the recovery process works.
Use HTTPS, protect sensitive configuration values and collect only the customer information your business needs. If your website accepts payments or personal information, plan security and privacy requirements before launch.
For business-critical systems, define who responds to incidents and how the site will be restored. A clear process reduces confusion when something goes wrong.
