Security Review
Find out whether the website is exposed before someone else does.
A serious audit is not a generic scan. It is a system-level reading of the website: frontend, admin, forms, deploy, email flow, sensitive files, hosting, dependencies and real attack surface. After agreement and scope definition, we can also review relevant source files to understand where risk is real, what can be remediated and when a safer rebuild is the better path.
Initial check inside the audit
We do not sell a “website security check” as a separate service, because a business does not need another vague score. It needs to understand whether risk is real and what should be fixed first. That is why the preliminary check is integrated into the audit and used to guide the technical review.
Critical signals
Forms, admin and exposed files
We check whether endpoints, backups, old files, technical errors, admin access or contact flows are exposed or abusable.
Operational risk
CMS, deploy and dependencies
We review repository/server drift, unmanaged plugins or components, inconsistent configuration and publishing chain issues.
Remediation
Priorities before fixes
We separate urgent vulnerabilities, useful hardening and noise so budget goes to the risks that actually matter.
What we analyse
- contact forms, mail endpoints, token flow, sessions and bot abuse;
- admin panel, CMS workflow, auth bridge and deploy path;
- exposed configuration, sensitive files, backups and unsafe locations;
- targeted line-by-line review of relevant files, where agreement, scope and access allow, supported by our proprietary scan to surface anomalous patterns, backdoors, dormant payloads and bypass logic;
- dependencies, application logic,
.htaccess, robots and publishing structure; - mismatch between repository, runtime and build output.
Remediation and BST Fortress
An audit should not remain a list of problems. When the technical context allows it and the intervention is authorized, we use the BST Fortress operating method to close vulnerabilities, clean up weak points, reduce attack surface and harden critical flows without compromising the website’s business function.
If the site is too fragile, inconsistent or no longer governable, the correct output is not forcing weak patches. We prepare a clear technical report and recommend a secure rebuild, preserving what has value and removing what would keep creating risk.
Signals that indicate risk
- you are not sure where backups, logs, old files or credentials are stored;
- the mail form receives spam, fake leads, errors or duplicate messages;
- the CMS uses plugins, themes or inherited components that nobody governs;
- the live server no longer clearly matches the repository;
- sitemap, canonical, hreflang or robots are not intentionally managed;
- you want to rebuild the site without carrying dormant vulnerabilities forward.
What you receive
Technical evidence
Not vague opinions: concrete files, flows, priorities, impact and why the risk exists.
Priority order
We separate what must be fixed now, what is hardening and what is just noise.
Fix path
The audit only matters if it can be translated into concrete, verifiable remediation.
When it is worth doing
- the website was built by past vendors and nobody really owns the logic anymore;
- the contact flow is opaque, spam-heavy or unreliable;
- the CMS or back office feels risky every time someone logs in;
- you are planning a rebuild but want to know what is actually worth saving first.
Important note
A strong audit often avoids two expensive mistakes: rebuilding everything when it is unnecessary, or keeping alive the exact piece that will continue to create risk after the redesign.
FAQ
Is the security check included in the audit?
Yes. We use it as the first phase of the audit, not as a separate product that creates confusion.
Is the audit only an automated scan?
No. Automation helps, but the decisive work is manual reasoning across forms, admin, files, configuration, deploy and remediation priority.
When should I request it?
When the site generates leads, handles sensitive data, uses unmanaged CMS/plugins, receives form spam, shows suspicious errors or is about to be rebuilt without inheriting old risks.
