Is Your Joomla Site Properly Protected Against Attacks & Malware?
Joomla powers millions of websites, which makes it a prime target for automated exploit scanners. Most attacks are opportunistic — they target sites running outdated extensions, loose file permissions, or common admin URL patterns. A properly hardened Joomla site is a far less attractive target.
We apply security at every layer: server configuration, Joomla core settings, extension management, file permissions, and network-level protection through Cloudflare. And if your site is already compromised, we clean it and secure it so it doesn't happen again.
- ✓ Joomla core & extension hardening
- ✓ File permission & directory security
- ✓ Cloudflare WAF & DDoS protection setup
- ✓ Malware scanning, detection & removal
- ✓ Ongoing monitoring via our OMSP plan
What's Included in Our Joomla Security Service
A layered security approach — because no single measure is enough on its own.
Joomla Core Hardening
Securing configuration.php permissions, removing install folder remnants, disabling directory listing, locking the admin URL, and enabling two-factor authentication for all administrator accounts.
File Permission Audit & Fix
Incorrect file and folder permissions are one of the most common Joomla vulnerabilities. We audit and correct them to Joomla's recommended settings — tighter where possible without breaking functionality.
Cloudflare Integration & WAF
We configure Cloudflare in front of your Joomla site with appropriate WAF rules, rate limiting on the admin and login endpoints, bot filtering, and DDoS mitigation. Cloudflare's free and paid plans both provide significant protection.
Malware Scanning & Removal
We scan Joomla's core files against known checksums, check for injected code in templates and extensions, and review recently modified files for signs of compromise. Infected files are cleaned or replaced cleanly.
Extension Security Audit
Outdated or abandoned extensions are a leading attack vector. We audit your installed extensions, identify ones with known vulnerabilities or no active development, and recommend replacements or patch options.
Security-Focused .htaccess Rules
Blocking common exploit patterns at the server level using .htaccess — restricting direct access to sensitive files, blocking known bad user agents, and preventing PHP execution in writable directories.
Stay Protected with Our Ongoing Maintenance & Support Plan
A one-off security fix is a good start. But ongoing protection means your Joomla site is monitored, updated, and reviewed continuously — not just when something goes wrong.
Our Ongoing Maintenance & Support Plan (OMSP) covers your Joomla site for $99/month and includes:
- ✓ Joomla core & extension updates applied monthly
- ✓ Daily offsite backups with verified restore capability
- ✓ Uptime monitoring with alert response
- ✓ Monthly malware & integrity scan
- ✓ Priority support response from a senior developer
Why Ongoing Security Matters for Joomla NZ Sites
Joomla security vulnerabilities are discovered regularly — in the core, in popular extensions, and in third-party themes. The JED (Joomla Extensions Directory) flags vulnerable extensions, but only if you're paying attention.
On our managed plan, we monitor vulnerability announcements and apply patches before your site is at risk. You don't need to track this yourself — we do it as part of your plan.
