Security checks in maintenance
Important:
All prices net. We name the price for the one-off check before we start. In the maintenance contract the checks are included in the monthly price.

Our offer is aimed at businesses, self-employed people, associations and institutions, not at consumers. All prices net plus VAT.

More than updates

Updates alone
do not cover everything.

Updates are the most important foundation. The security check also finds what updates do not solve: extensions without updates, overly broad user permissions, insecure settings and files that do not belong there.

Abandoned extensions
Extensions that no longer receive updates.
User permissions
Accounts and permissions that reach further than needed.
Foreign files
Files that do not belong there.
We recommend a thorough check at least once a year, more often with high traffic or sensitive data.
Look closely
Before someone else does.
What we check

A close look at every level.

From Joomla and the extensions to files and database.

Joomla and extensions

Versions, updates and extensions with known security problems.

Users and permissions

Who has which rights, and are there accounts nobody knows?

Configuration

Joomla and server settings that make attacks easier.

Files

Suspicious or modified files.

Database

Unusual entries and unknown users.

Backups

Are there backups, and can they be restored?
How we work

Four steps to a secure website.

You know beforehand what we check and what it costs.

Assess

We clarify what the website does and where your concerns are, and name the price.

Check

We analyse website, files and database.

Fix

We fix the problems found straight away and tell you what we did.

Keep at it

On request we keep checking regularly, in the maintenance contract.
We name the price before we start.
Honestly calculated

What the effort depends on.

A security check takes between a few hours and a few days. These points decide.
We name the price before we start.

Size and complexity

Many extensions, users and forms need a longer look.

State of the website

With old versions there is more to check and fix.

Your priorities

Areas that matter most to you, we check first.

Our offer is aimed at businesses, self-employed people, associations and institutions, not at consumers. All prices net plus VAT.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions about the Joomla security check

The answers we give most often.
What does a Joomla security check cost?
We name the price for the one-off check beforehand, based on the size and complexity of your website. The maintenance contract includes one, four or twelve checks a year, from €30 net a month.
How long does a Joomla security check take?
That depends on the size and complexity of your website. Usually between a few hours and a few days.
How often should I have a security check done?
We recommend a thorough check at least once a year. For websites with high traffic or sensitive data, more frequent checks make sense.
What happens if security problems are found?
We fix them straight away and inform you about the necessary measures.
Is it not enough to update Joomla regularly?
Updates are the most important foundation, but they do not cover everything. The security check also finds extensions that no longer receive updates, overly broad user permissions, insecure settings and files that do not belong there.
Can I do the security check myself?
Some parts, yes. To find and fix every vulnerability, though, an expert’s look pays off.
What is the difference between a security check and a security audit?
A security check is a regular, shorter review of the key points. The security audit is a one-off, in-depth examination with a detailed report and recommendations.
My website has been hacked. Is the audit the right choice?
The website needs to be cleaned up first, and we have a separate service for hacked Joomla websites. Afterwards, the audit shows how the attack was possible and which gaps are still open.
Do I need a maintenance contract for this?
No. The checks are already included in our maintenance contracts, but you can also request them separately.
Personal, not a ticket

Rather talk directly?

You have a specific suspicion? Then “Joomla hacked?” is the faster way.
