Forensic Remediation

Automated Security Plugins vs. Manual Forensic Engineering

Off-the-shelf security plugins alert you after the disaster has occurred, often missing polymorphic PHP backdoors embedded in upload directories or theme functions.

Automated Security Plugins

Superficial Scanning

Frequent Re-Infections

Installing Wordfence or Sucuri after an infection without finding the root backdoor.

  • ✗ Misses base64-encoded polymorphic backdoors hidden in uploads/
  • ✗ Cannot repair corrupted database post tables or eval injections
  • ✗ Slows down site performance with continuous on-server database scans
  • ✗ Doesn’t eliminate rogue administrator users or SSH authorized_keys
  • ✗ Re-infections typically recur within 48 to 72 hours
SSP-ELITE Forensic Hardening

Deep Forensic Eradication

Forensic Remediation

Surgical code eradication, server permission lockdown, and zero recurring backdoors.

  • ✓ Complete core file replacement matching clean WordPress.org checksums
  • ✓ Manual code diff auditing of custom themes, plugins, and mu-plugins
  • ✓ Database sweep removing cron backdoors, rogue admins, and spam injections
  • ✓ Cryptographic key rotation and session termination across all users
  • ✓ XML-RPC completely blocked (eliminating 90% of brute-force vectors)
  • ✓ Google Search Console security review submission and blacklist removal

Enterprise Defenses

Six Layers of WordPress Security Hardening

We implement defense-in-depth protocols adhering strictly to OWASP enterprise web application standards.

01

Forensic Malware Cleanup

Scanning every file against cryptographic checksums, eliminating webshells (c99, r57, WSO), and removing SEO spam redirects (Japanese/phishing injection scripts).

02

Database Sanitization

Sanitizing wp_posts, wp_options, and wp_usermeta tables. Eradicating malicious iframe injections, rogue administrator roles, and hidden scheduled cron actions.

03

Server Permission Lockdown

Setting wp-config.php to read-only 0400/0440, disallowing file edits via DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT, and blocking PHP execution inside the /wp-content/uploads/ directory.

04

Brute-Force & XML-RPC Shield

Disabling XML-RPC endpoints, enforcing rate-limited login attempts with Fail2Ban integration, and hiding author query enumerations (?author=1).

05

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Mandating hardware-backed TOTP two-factor authentication (Google Authenticator/1Password) for all administrative and editor-level accounts.

06

Google Blacklist Resolution

Conducting post-cleanup audits, compiling verified clean request logs, and submitting official review requests to remove red “Deceptive Site Ahead” interstitials.

CLEAR TECHNICAL ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Direct facts about our developer vetting, 100% code ownership guarantees, security protocols, and risk-free trial arrangements.

🔒 Bilateral NDA Prior to Call • Zero Spam
01 Who owns the source code created during engagements?

You own 100% of all intellectual property, design assets, and source code from day one. Every line of PHP, JavaScript, and block markup is committed directly to your private version control repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) under your corporate ownership. We claim zero residual rights, zero proprietary vendor lock-in, and provide full transfer upon sprint completion.

02 Do you support Full-Site Editing (FSE) and headless WordPress?

Yes. We engineer bespoke WordPress block themes using native Full-Site Editing (FSE), custom block engines, modular block patterns, and strict theme.json token schemas. For decoupled modern architectures, we build high-speed headless frontends powered by Next.js, Astro, or Remix connected via WPGraphQL or the native WordPress REST API.

03 How does developer vetting and the 14-day sprint evaluation work?

Every developer undergoes rigorous 4-stage screening: live architectural interview, automated WPCS & PHP 8 compliance testing, database optimization challenge, and English communication vetting. All dedicated retainers start with an initial 14-day sprint milestone where you evaluate commit velocity, code quality, and communication firsthand before committing to a longer retainer cycle.

04 How do you handle security and non-disclosure agreements?

We execute bilateral mutual non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) prior to accessing any staging servers, repositories, or technical briefs. Developers work on sanitized local or staging environments with least-privilege database credentials, zero production credentials exposed, and strict adherence to OWASP Top 10 web application security best practices.

05 What tools and agile workflows do your developers integrate with?

Our engineers embed seamlessly into your squad’s daily stack: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Asana, GitHub, and GitLab. We participate in daily asynchronous standups, provide structured pull request reviews, and align working sprint hours to European and North American operational schedules.

06 How do you guarantee Core Web Vitals performance and upgrade safety?

We build without visual page-builder bloat, writing clean semantic HTML5, pure CSS variables, and native block markup. All themes are 100% WordPress Core API compliant, ensuring sub-second Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), sub-300ms Time to First Byte (TTFB), and flawless automated updates without breaking backwards compatibility.
