A website is protected from cyber attacks with constant updates, code with few external dependencies, controlled access, protected forms and reliable backups to restart from.

Most attacks are not targeted: they are automated scripts looking for old versions of CMSs and plugins with known vulnerabilities. That is why the first defence is regular maintenance. NewVisibility sites, built by an agency in Cantù in the province of Como, are born on our enterprise CMS and are developed bespoke: no chains of third-party plugins to keep aligned, hence a smaller attack surface that is easier to control.

The defences

Five levels of protection

Security is not a single product but the set of practices we apply during maintenance.

Is your website really protected?

Services of interest

The site and CMS should be updated regularly: security patches as soon as they are released, minor updates on a schedule, and major versions planned and tested before going live. The right cadence depends on the site's CMS, libraries and integrations; in Cantù we define it with each company.

A website backup is a periodic copy of the database, files and media archive, stored separately from the site. It lets you restore everything or just part of it after an error, a failed update or an attack, as long as restoring is tested: the Cantù team, in the province of Como, takes care of it.

The SSL certificate encrypts data between browser and site and enables HTTPS: without it, browsers flag the site as not secure, affecting trust, forms and rankings. During maintenance we also check that pages and resources really use HTTPS, for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan.

The recurring costs of a website are the domain, hosting, SSL certificate, email accounts, technical maintenance and any licences for external services. With our open source enterprise CMS there are no CMS licences to pay, and from Cantù we manage hosting and maintenance for companies in Como and Milan.

The main signs are slow pages that suit smartphones poorly, visits that don't turn into enquiries, outdated content, complicated management and dated design. If you recognise more than one, consider a website redesign: from our Cantù studio we help companies in Como and Brianza decide.
