Security and Maintenance
The threat of hacking and sabotage is very real
Recent years has seen the emergence of professional, highly sophisticated hacking networks. The threat faced by website owners in the past was defacement of a site. Now the threat is the injection of malicious code, viruses and phishing scripts directed towards your users. Website owners are left oblivious to criminal activity taking place on their sites.
The vast majority of updates released for Joomla and third party extensions are security updates to combat the constant threat from hackers. Unfortunately the frequency of hacking attempts and malicious activity continues to grow, fuelled by apathy and complacency amongst many website owners.
Having a plan to keep your CMS and all 3rd party plugins up to date is vital in any web strategy and remains one of the best forms of protection.
Your site should be installed and configured according to the Joomla Administrator's Security Checklist and a backup and recorvery plan needs to be in place in case the unthinkable does happen. We can help you with this.
Your customer's privacy and data protection are your responsibility
It's standard practice to have a Privacy Policy in place to reassure your customers their personal information is kept safe. Under new Australian privacy laws in effect since 12 March 2014, you have an actual responsibility to ensure your data is stored securely.
Storing your customer's private information on an improperly secured website can leave you open to legal action and heavy fines if a hacker gains access.
