We Write Code. We Secure It.
Hacked WordPress sites cleaned and restored. Critical vulnerabilities found, reproduced, and fixed before attackers find them first, including flaws that exposed gift card systems at a national restaurant chain and the entire client database of a major telehealth provider. When it's your site and your customers on the line, you want the team that actually breaks in to prove the fix.
Security Scanners Find Symptoms. Developers Find Causes.
Most website security is theater: a plugin that scans for known malware signatures, a badge in the footer, a report full of severity colors nobody acts on. Meanwhile, the actual vulnerabilities live in the code, the server configuration, and the seams between systems, exactly where automated tools don't think to look, because thinking is the part that's hard to automate.
We come at security as what we are: full stack developers who write applications, run servers, and have cleaned up enough breaches to know precisely how they happen. We read the code. We trace the exploit. We reproduce it ourselves to confirm it's real, patch it, and then try to break it again to prove the patch holds. That's the difference between "the scan came back clean" and "this specific hole existed, and now it doesn't."
Found. Reproduced. Fixed.
The national restaurant chain. Their customers generated scannable barcodes for gift cards, and a flaw in that system meant the barcodes could be exploited. Free money, at national scale, one clever customer away from discovery. We found the vulnerability, reproduced it to confirm exactly how it worked, and fixed it, closing a hole that could have bled the company indefinitely.
The major telehealth provider. We uncovered an exploit that leaked their database password, and with it, access to their entire client list. For a healthcare company, that's not an embarrassing incident. That's an existential one. We demonstrated the exploit, patched it so it can't be reproduced, and verified the fix ourselves.
Both companies had passed the checkbox stuff. Both holes were sitting in production anyway.
The vulnerabilities that end up in headlines are almost never the ones a scanner catches. They're the ones a developer catches.
The Full Security Stack
Emergency Hack Recovery
Your site is compromised right now: defaced, redirecting, blacklisted, or hosting something ugly. We take over immediately: isolate the site, hunt down every backdoor and webshell, clean the infection completely, close the entry point, and get you delisted from Google's warnings. We've un-hacked a lot of WordPress sites, and the difference between our cleanup and a $200 malware removal service is that ours doesn't come back next month.
Vulnerability Assessment
Before an attacker finds it, we do. A hands-on, developer-led review of your application, plugins, forms, APIs, and server: the logic flaws, injection points, exposed credentials, and misconfigurations that automated scans sail past. Every finding comes reproduced (so you know it's real), rated (so you know what matters), and fixed or fixable (because we're the ones who can fix it).
Hardening
Prevention, layered: server and firewall configuration, login and access controls, permissions, updates, and the WordPress-specific lockdown work that eliminates the common entry points. Most hacks aren't sophisticated. They're opportunistic, and hardening removes the opportunity.
Secure Development & Code Review
Whether we built your site or someone else did, we review code the way attackers read it. And everything we ship carries this posture by default, because the cheapest vulnerability to fix is the one that never gets written.
Ongoing Monitoring
For clients who want a team watching: continuous monitoring, proactive patching, and someone already familiar with your stack the moment something looks wrong. Bundled with our hosting, or standalone for sites hosted elsewhere.
The Difference Between Auditing Security and Actually Having It
We reproduce before we report
Anyone can hand you a list of theoretical issues. We confirm exploits work before we claim they exist, and confirm fixes hold before we claim you're safe. No false alarms, no false comfort.
We fix what we find
Security consultants hand you a PDF and leave the remediation to "your developers." We are the developers. Diagnosis and repair, one team, same week.
We've seen the aftermath
Years of incident response means we know how breaches actually unfold: the entry points attackers really use, the backdoors they leave behind, and the cleanup mistakes that let them return. That experience shapes everything we harden.
We run our own infrastructure
The servers we secure for clients sit alongside the ones running our own businesses. Our security practices aren't recommendations we read somewhere. They're what we bet on daily.
We're discreet
Security work is sensitive by nature. NDAs are standard, disclosure is handled responsibly, and some of the best work we've ever done is work we can only describe without names.
How an Engagement Works
Triage
Emergency or assessment, the first step is understanding scope: what's exposed, what's compromised, and what's most urgent. Active incidents jump the queue.
Investigate
We dig through code, logs, and configuration to find the real story: how they got in, or how they could. Evidence, not guesswork.
Reproduce
Suspected vulnerabilities get proven. This is the step most providers skip and the reason our findings are worth acting on.
Fix & Verify
Patches applied, entry points closed, infections removed, and then we attack our own fix to confirm it holds.
Harden & Report
You get a plain-English account of what happened, what we did, and what will keep it from happening again, plus the hardening to back it up.

Find the Hole Before Someone Else Does
Whether you're mid-incident or just have a bad feeling about that site nobody's updated in a year, the next step is the same: get real eyes on it. We'll tell you what's exposed, what it would take to exploit, and exactly what we'd do about it.
