Routine updates and maintenance
Core software, plugins, themes, and dependencies kept current so known vulnerabilities do not sit unpatched for months.
Website Security · Maintenance
Security that doesn’t keep you up at night.
Updates, backups, monitoring, and a plan for when something goes wrong. I handle the routine maintenance so your site stays protected, and if there is ever a problem, you will know what happened and what we are doing about it.
The work
Keep the boring security work from becoming an emergency.
Most website security problems are not dramatic hacks. They are delayed updates, untested backups, weak access habits, and nobody watching until visitors notice first. I help small businesses and professional practices put practical safeguards in place and keep them maintained.
Laura Florey Consulting is based in South Alabama and serves Baldwin County, Mobile, the Eastern Shore, and Gulf Coast Alabama. This service is also available remotely.
What you get
Focused work with a clear handoff.
Backups you can actually restore
Scheduled backups with a recovery path that has been checked, not a checkbox nobody tested until the day something goes wrong.
Monitoring and early warnings
Uptime checks, suspicious activity signals, and a clear process for noticing problems before visitors do.
A plan when something goes wrong
Practical next steps, plain-language updates, and remediation support so you know what happened and what we are doing about it.
Good fit
Built for practical teams and realistic scope.
- Small businesses and professional practices that need someone to own routine website security work
- Owners who want updates, backups, and monitoring handled without learning the full stack themselves
- Teams that prefer clear communication when something looks wrong
- Sites on WordPress or other maintainable platforms where ongoing care actually matters
Process
Clear steps, no mystery.
Review the current setup
I look at hosting, updates, backups, access, plugins, and obvious risk points so we know what is already solid and what needs attention.
Put the basics in place
We establish or clean up updates, backups, monitoring, access controls, and other practical safeguards that fit the site and budget.
Maintain and communicate
Ongoing maintenance continues on a clear cadence. If something needs attention, you hear what happened and what the next step is.
Questions
Useful answers before we talk.
Is this the same as Managed Website Support & Hosting?
Closely related. Managed Website Support & Hosting starts at $69/month and covers cloud hosting where applicable, routine backups, core and plugin security updates, and light content changes. This page covers the broader website security work: updates, backups, monitoring, and response planning. Scope and pricing are confirmed before work begins.
Do you guarantee a website will never be compromised?
No. No website can be guaranteed completely secure. The goal is to reduce unnecessary risk, keep systems maintained, and respond clearly when something needs attention.
What platforms do you support?
Most often WordPress and other maintainable small-business setups. The right approach depends on hosting, plugins, access needs, and who will maintain the site day to day.
Do you provide emergency incident response?
This service is built for routine security maintenance and clear communication, not 24/7 emergency IT or incident response. If something looks wrong, I will help assess the situation and recommend the next practical step.
