Website Security Monitoring
Thomas Digital · Website Security

Know the moment someone changes your website.

Security monitoring plans for the WordPress websites we maintain. Get an alert when a page is edited, a new admin appears or a plugin is added, with a clear record of who did what and when.

Why add monitoring

Maintenance keeps your site healthy. Monitoring tells you who touched it.

Your maintenance plan already covers updates, backups, uptime and malware scans. Security monitoring adds the piece most sites are missing: eyes on the people who can log in.

Most break-ins look like normal edits

A stolen password lets someone log in and change a page like any staff member would. A malware scan will not flag it.

Minutes matter

The sooner you hear about a change you did not make, the less time it stays in front of your clients.

A record you can show

Auditors, insurers and compliance officers ask who changed what. A dated history answers that in one export.

Plans

Three plans. Add one to any maintenance plan.

Priced per website, per month, on top of your Thomas Digital maintenance plan.

How it works

From a change on your site to an alert in your inbox

1

Something changes

A page is edited, a user is added, a plugin is installed or someone logs in from somewhere new.

2

It's recorded

The change is logged with the user, the time and what changed. A nightly check catches anything made outside the editor.

3

You're alerted

You and our team get an email right away. Edits by your own known staff can roll into a daily summary instead.

4

We act

If it wasn't you, we lock the account and restore the page. On Shield and Regulated, cleanup is included.

For regulated firms

Built for firms that answer to a compliance officer

Registered investment advisers, law firms and healthcare practices get asked hard questions about their vendors. The Regulated plan is built to give your compliance officer answers in writing.

For SEC-registered advisers, the change record and monthly snapshots help you keep copies of your website as an advertisement. Our 72-hour notice promise follows the service-provider timing in the SEC's amended Regulation S-P.

Your compliance officer or counsel decides which rules apply to your firm and which pages count as advertisements. Thomas Digital provides the records and notices; we do not give legal or compliance advice.

Five-year change record
Every edit, login and user change, copied off the website every hour so it survives even if the site is compromised.
72-hour notice promise
We tell you as soon as possible, and no later than 72 hours after we become aware of unauthorized access to client information held on your site. Other security events get a same-day email.
Quarterly compliance report
Who has access, what changed, what was blocked and any events, in one report your compliance officer can file.
Annual due-diligence packet
What data the site holds, who can access it, our subcontractors, backup and recovery, our incident plan and our insurance certificate.
Written incident report
After any security event: what happened, when, what was affected and what we did.
Questions

Common questions

Do I need a maintenance plan first?

Yes. Security plans are add-ons to a Thomas Digital monthly maintenance plan. Your maintenance plan keeps the site updated, backed up and scanned; the security plan watches who can change it.

Will I get an alert every time my own team edits the site?

Every alert names who made the change. Edits by the staff you tell us about can go into a daily summary, while unknown users, new admins and new-location logins always alert right away.

Can this stop every attack?

No service can promise that. Monitoring makes attacks harder, shortens the time before anyone notices and makes recovery faster. That is why every plan pairs protection with alerts and a clear record.

Does my website hold client information?

Many brochure websites do not. Contact forms, client portals and file uploads can. We map what your site holds as part of onboarding, and that map is included in the Regulated plan's due-diligence packet.

Who receives the alerts?

You and our team. You choose the email addresses on your side, such as an owner, an office manager or a compliance officer.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. Talk to us and we will move your site to the plan that fits.
