A Website Audit Gives A Clearer Risk Picture

A website security audit helps identify visible and accessible weaknesses before they become incidents or block handover work.

The review is practical and scoped around the systems you own. It is not a formal certification audit.

  • Review website and admin access posture
  • Check SSL, configuration and visible risk areas
  • Review backup and monitoring readiness
  • Document findings and recommended priorities

Website Security Audit FAQs

Questions About
Website Security Audits

Common questions before reviewing a website.

What is a website security audit?

It is a practical review of website posture, access, configuration, backups and related risks.

Is this a formal penetration test?

No. Penetration testing requires a separate scope and authorisation.

What access do you need?

Access depends on scope. Some checks are external, while deeper review may need admin or hosting access.

Will you fix the issues found?

Fix work can be planned after the audit but is not assumed unless agreed.

Can this help before a site handover?

Yes. A practical audit can identify risks and maintenance gaps before handover.

Can you certify the site is secure?

No. We provide practical findings and recommendations, not certification or absolute security claims.
