Normally all prevention methods are implemented by XIST2. We do this in a test environment first before applying the live site, ensuring that everything works as expected.

To prevent a website from being hacked it's important that we cover a number of areas where hackers can gain access:

• Check the theme for development improvements 
• Investigate any alternative integration methods;
• Add reCAPTCHA to all login areas and contact forms;
• Regenerate the WP authentication keys;
• Disable the editor;
• Add in security rules;
• Update the server PHP version and MySQL database;
• Refresh all passwords and enforce strong passwords only;
• Carry out a scan of the website files to check for any remaining malcious or spam code.
