Website Security Audits & Protection
A website security audit is a systematic review of your site's software, configuration, and access points to find real vulnerabilities before someone else does. FreeSoftwareX Digital runs the same kind of security checks on our own live properties that we offer as a service — outdated software and weak access controls are the most common ways sites get compromised.
We review your site's software versions (CMS core, plugins, and server software), file and folder permissions, admin access controls, and exposed configuration files for known weaknesses. Where we find issues, we prioritize them by actual risk rather than handing you a long checklist, and fix what's within scope — updates, permission changes, login hardening, and basic firewall or monitoring rules. We're honest that security is ongoing maintenance, not a single fix you apply once.
Vulnerability Scanning
A review of your CMS core, plugins, and server software versions against known vulnerabilities.
Access & Permission Review
Admin accounts, file permissions, and login protections checked for common weak points like reused or default credentials.
Malware & Backdoor Checks
Scanning site files for injected malicious code or unauthorized changes that indicate a past or active compromise.
Practical Hardening Steps
Concrete fixes applied — updates, permission corrections, login protections — not just a report of problems.
How it Works
Audit & Risk Assessment
We scan your site's software, permissions, and access points, and prioritize findings by actual risk.
01
02
Fix & Harden
We apply the fixes within scope — updates, permission changes, login hardening — and remove any malicious code found.
Monitor & Maintain
We can set up ongoing monitoring and periodic re-checks, since new vulnerabilities appear over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the size and complexity of your site. A small site's audit can be completed quickly; a large site with many plugins or custom code takes longer to review thoroughly — we'll give you a timeframe after an initial look.
No security provider can honestly guarantee that — new vulnerabilities are discovered constantly. What we can do is fix known issues, harden access, and put monitoring in place to catch problems early.
Yes, this is a common reason people come to us. We scan for injected code and backdoors, clean up what we find, and then apply hardening steps to reduce the chance of it happening again.
It depends on your site's size and how much cleanup or hardening work is needed. Contact us for a quote once we've had a look at your site.
Typically admin/CMS access and either hosting or FTP/SFTP access, depending on what we're checking. We'll tell you exactly what's needed once we understand your setup.
Both — a one-time audit is a valid starting point, and we can also quote ongoing monitoring and periodic re-checks separately if you want continuous coverage.
