Presslabs is a secure made-to-measure hosting infrastructure, augmented by WordPress Intelligence
for the most complex website setups.
Security is a shared responsibility between Presslabs and customers, with clearly identifiable attributions.
We’re securing at all times the data that you’re exchanging between your device and WP-admin. Your passwords and editorial contents are always safe.
In case of denial of service attack attempts, we are taking actions to mitigate and identify the source, keeping your site in proper working conditions.
In case of suspicious security incidents, we are investigating responses and we recommend appropriate actions.
We are managing firewall rules to limit access only to publicly intended resources, in legitimate usage patterns.
We permanently keep physical and virtual machines up-to-date with the latest LTS operating system versions.
We are performing test-backed upgrades of the WordPress core and take full responsibility for the process.
We’re filtering scraping activity that affects performance and service integrity.
We’re automatically monitoring traffic and usage patterns that pass over established thresholds and throttle them.
Our equipment is located in standardized data center facilities with clear contracts concerning data access and security. Physical access is audited as well.
We’re implementing strict checks for php execution and limit allowed pass-through parameters based on the WordPress Codex.
We assume full responsibility for data access, as our staff is formed by support and infrastructure engineers alike.
All dashboard actions performed by your team, as well as our support, are tracked and auditable.
Using purchased plugins or themes rises the risk of vulnerabilities.
Renew subscriptions to be able to always keep the commercial code up-to-date.
Code snippets inserted in your site’s source code expose your visitors, in case of intrusion.
Reduce to a minimum the amount of external calls and review periodically your site code for outdated references.
The more code you have, the more potential security risks may arise.
Keep open-source plugins, by all means, up-to-date.
Advertisements used on your site are most likely hosted by third-parties and in case of intrusion on their systems, your site and your visitors are at risk.
Always work with highly trusted ad networks.
Don’t authorize access to open sessions in browsers while logged in on dashboards.
Consider encrypting your storage and use strong passwords.
Control the access to your site. If given to the disloyal people, your site may get harmed.
Carefully select and instruct people you work with and trust.
Weak passwords can become the gateway to undesired activities on your accounts.
Use strong passwords, change them often and keep them only in trusted password management services.
