Why You Need WordPress Security
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2025 10:06 am
Let's discuss the reasons why every successful WordPress site prioritizes security. They apply to businesses of all sizes, reputations, and industries.
Protects your information and reputation
If bad guys get hold of personal information about you or your site visitors, there is no end to what they can do with that information. A security breach could result in a data leak , identity theft, ransomware, server failure, and the list goes on. Needless to say, any of these events are far from ideal for your business's growth and facebook database reputation, and are generally a big waste of time, money, and energy.
Your visitors expect it.
As your business grows, the number of problems you need to solve and your customers’ expectations of how you solve them will increase. One such problem is keeping your customers’ information secure . If you fail to provide this fundamental service from the start, you will undermine your customers’ trust in you. Your customers need to be confident that their information will be used and stored securely, whether it’s contact information , payment information (which requires PCI compliance), or a simple survey response. Here’s the catch: If your security measures are working, your customers should never know about it. If they do see news about your site’s security, it will likely be bad news, and most won’t come back.
