Website Security for Melbourne Businesses

I help small businesses improve the security of their websites and web apps. Typical work includes reviewing access, applying updates, checking backups and fixing vulnerabilities in the site or its configuration.

A review looks at how the site is hosted, who can access it and how it is maintained. I explain the findings, prioritise the work and implement the fixes we agree on.

If a site has been compromised, I can help investigate, clean it up and plan recovery. The scope depends on the affected systems and available backups. Ongoing monitoring and larger security engagements may need a specialist provider.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer penetration testing?
I can carry out scoped testing of small business websites and apps with the owner’s permission. If you need a formal assessment for a contract or compliance requirement, share those requirements before booking.
Can you help with a hacked website?
Yes, subject to availability and the systems involved. Describe what happened and when you noticed it. We’ll arrange access securely and assess the recovery options.
Do I need to buy new security software?
Not necessarily. Updates, access controls and reliable backups may address some of the immediate gaps. Any additional tools should fit your existing site and maintenance needs.

Describe the website or app and the issue you want reviewed. Please leave passwords and other sensitive access details out of the form; we’ll arrange access separately.
