Web Security Guides 2026: Tested Advice You Can Use
Practical hardening, backups and recovery for websites that cannot afford a bad week.
Web Security
Updated 2026
Web security for a small business is a routine, not a product. This section covers the controls that actually reduce risk: HTTPS, patching, access, backups and a recovery plan that works when the dashboard does not.
What this category covers
We cover the threats that hit small sites, the accounts that control a domain, plugin and software inventories, off-host backups and the one-page incident plan. Each guide is written for a team without a security department.
How we judge security advice
Our recommendations follow current vendor documentation and published guidance from bodies such as CISA and OWASP. We prioritise controls by impact and cost, and we say plainly which steps are essential and which are optional hardening.
Where to start
Read the small business basics first, then the backup and recovery guide. One reduces the chance of an incident; the other decides how bad the incident becomes.
