Injection & cross-site scripting (XSS)
Attackers slip malicious input into forms, URLs, or search fields to manipulate a database or run scripts in your visitors’ browsers. Consistently among the OWASP Top 10 — for good reason.
// Security
Security isn’t a checkbox. It’s the actual job.
Most agencies treat security as an afterthought — a plugin, a checkbox, a line item nobody reads. We built PAKTI around it, because a fast, beautiful site that gets compromised in month two isn’t a website. It’s a liability.
- Weekly automated vulnerability scans
- < 48h critical patch response
- OWASP Top 10 aligned practices
- TLS 1.2+ enforced by default
// What we’re actually defending against
The threat landscape for a small business site is bigger than it feels.
You don’t need to be a bank to be a target. Automated scanners don’t check your revenue before they start probing.
Outdated components & known CVEs
Most real-world breaches don’t involve a genius hacker — they involve a plugin or library with a publicly known vulnerability nobody patched. Automated bots scan for exactly this.
Credential attacks
Weak, reused, or leaked passwords get tried automatically against login pages at scale (credential stuffing). One reused password from an unrelated breach can be the entire attack.
Security misconfiguration
Default admin credentials, exposed debug pages, permissive file permissions, missing security headers — small oversights that turn into open doors.
Automated bot & scanner traffic
New domains get probed by automated tools within hours of going live. This isn’t paranoia — it’s the baseline background noise of the internet.
Phishing & social engineering
Not every attack targets the server. A convincing fake invoice or login page aimed at your staff can bypass every technical control you have.
// Our approach
What "secure by default" actually means, step by step.
- 01
Hardened from day one
HTTPS enforced everywhere, security headers (CSP, HSTS) configured, no default credentials, least-privilege access from the first commit.
- 02
Continuous vulnerability scanning
Automated weekly scans across the site and every dependency it runs on — not a one-time audit that goes stale in a month.
- 03
Fast patch response
Critical findings get patched on a sub-48-hour SLA. Lower-severity issues are batched and cleared on a regular cadence.
- 04
Monitoring & alerting
Uptime and anomaly monitoring that pages a human when something looks wrong — not a dashboard nobody checks.
- 05
Plain-language reporting
A monthly report written for a business owner: what we checked, what we found, what we fixed. No jargon dump.
- 06
Incident response
If something does get through, you get a direct line to us — not a support ticket queue — and a clear plan to contain and fix it.
The figures above describe our operating process, not a third-party security certification. We’re happy to walk through exactly what we check and how, on a call.
// Already worried?
Signs your site may already be compromised
- Unexpected admin users, plugins, or files you didn’t add
- Search results or browser warnings flagging your site as unsafe
- Unexplained spikes in outbound traffic or server load
- Customers reporting spam emails "from" your domain
- Pages redirecting somewhere you didn’t configure
