Secure your website today - wherever you're located in the world, Fresh Mango in the BVI can help to minimise the risk...
Secure Your Website · Fresh Mango Technologies
Securing a website means applying a firewall, verified backups, software patching and access controls so the site resists attack and can be restored quickly if something still gets through.
Fresh Mango secures BVI business websites with a combination of a web application firewall, tested backups and ongoing patching, so an attack is both less likely to succeed and less costly if it does.
How website security works
Website attacks are mostly automated: scripts probe thousands of sites looking for known vulnerabilities, weak passwords and outdated software, then exploit whatever they find. Securing a website means removing those easy targets — patched software, a web application firewall filtering malicious traffic, strong access controls — and having a verified backup ready in case an attack still succeeds.
These two elements work together and should not be treated as separate purchases: a firewall reduces the chance of a successful attack, and a backup removes the cost of one when firewalls alone are not enough.
Firewall protection
A web application firewall filters malicious requests before they reach the website, blocking common attack patterns, bad bots and known exploit attempts. Full detail on this element is covered on our dedicated firewall page.
Backup protection
Verified, tested backups mean a compromised, corrupted or accidentally deleted site can be restored to a known-good state within hours rather than rebuilt from scratch. Full detail on this element is covered on our dedicated backup page.
Who needs website security
Any business whose website has never had a dedicated firewall or verified backup.
Sites built on widely used platforms (WordPress and similar) that are common attack targets purely due to their popularity.
Businesses that have already experienced a hack, defacement or malware infection.
Regulated firms whose website carries client-facing forms or portals.
How Fresh Mango helps
Fresh Mango applies firewall protection and backup configuration as standard on managed websites, working alongside our specialist cyber security practice, Complete Cyber Security, for wider network and email protection where a business needs it.
Frequently asked questions
Is a firewall enough to protect a website?
A firewall significantly reduces successful attacks but cannot guarantee one hundred per cent protection, which is why a verified backup is treated as equally essential — it is the fallback when prevention alone is not enough.
How do I know if our website has already been compromised?
Signs include unexpected redirects, unfamiliar admin accounts, search engines flagging the site as unsafe, or a sudden drop in traffic. Fresh Mango can run a technical review to confirm and, if needed, clean and secure the site.
How often should website backups be taken?
Daily is normal for an active business website, with backups stored offsite so a compromised server does not also take the backup down with it.
Does website security cost extra on top of hosting?
It is normally bundled into a managed hosting or website management agreement rather than sold as a separate line item, though it can be added standalone to an existing site hosted elsewhere.
