QW's Security Audits
Every website is vulnerable to an attack. The more popular your website, or the more sensitive the data stored on your website, the more likely your website is to be attacked. While there is no way to prevent every attack on your website, it is important to know if your website is secure and doing the best possible job to prevent an attack.
If you don't know if your website is secure, then it is important to figure out if it is. After all, if your customer's information is stored on your website and somebody steals that information, what would it mean for your business?
QW Consulting has years of experience securing websites, preventing sites from getting attacked and, when a website does get attacked QW Consulting has experience minimizes the severity of the attack.
Do you need to worry about security?
Yes! The simple answer is every website needs to worry about security. However, there are certain websites that need to worry about it more than others. If you have a shopping cart where you collect information from customers, especially credit card information, you need to worry more about security than if you simply have a brochure website that collects no customer information. QW Consulting can help you determine if you need a security plan or not.
What should I do to secure my website?
QW Consulting can review your website to help you determine how your website could be vulnerable. First things first, QW Consulting will determine what you need tested. Once we have determined where your website could be vulnerable, QW Consulting will test those areas for common security risks, including:
- Reviewing contact forms for validation errors
- Reviewing all secure areas of the website and password storage
- Analyzing your code for potential SQL injection attacks
- Analyzing your code for potential cross site scripting attacks
- Ensuring you are using an SSL certificate where appropriate
- Checking your hosting company's security practices
After the test is completed, QW Consulting will give you a detailed report of the findings in each of those areas, including recommendations to improve your security.
