Security FAQs
We require access to your site and sometimes even hosting account and more when working on your WordPress issues, rightly so you should be asking questions before handing over any access to your sites. We have compiled some frequently asked questions from our clients below, if you still have a question or just want some reassurance please contact us.
Who has access to my site login credentials?
Our support directors will always be the first members of staff to receive your login credentials, they are then checked and passed on via our secure system to our technical team for your support service to begin. Our team are all handpicked and work across our entire network of sites (including our own sites) so you can rest assured your site is in very safe hands.
Once your support task is completed your login details are deleted and we keep no record of them. While your task is open your credentials are always encrypted and stored securely on our system.
How do I send my login credentials?
You can submit your access details via our secure form, details submitted are encrypted and send to our support directors only. Using our secure form provides a safer way of submitting details than simply putting them in an email.
We recommend that you create a WordPress user account for WP Helper so you can simply delete the user from your system after we have completed your support task.
Is my site backed up before work is carried out?
Yes, all sites are backed up initially before to conduct any work. This ensures that there is a restore point prior to our work. All backups are stored for 7 days on one-off jobs.
Will my site be down while work is carried out?
We take all steps necessary to prevent any downtime at all and the majority of our support cases are resolved quickly with no impact on the running of the site at all.
Some tasks such as a hacked site recovery often require the site to be taken offline to fully resolve. Our team is distributed worldwide so we can work in a time window that will least affect your traffic, this is usually from 01:00 to 07:30 UTC.
How secure are my payments?
We process all payment via Stripe or for our UK customers you can also pay by Direct Debit or BACS. You can pay for your one-off tasks when submitting a support ticket, our pricing is based on an hourly rate and the average time each task takes, you can also opt to receive a quote before your payment is made.
Our monthly support and maintenance plans are billed automatically by Stripe or GoCardless (for UK customers with Direct Debit).
No payment details are stored on our systems or even disclosed to us all payments go through our trusted payment providers.
Can I call you?
Yes, but we don't hand out our number or advertise it online due to the amount if nonsense calls received and working via email proves much more efficient than telephone support. We do still offer arranged telephone phone consultations, simply contact us and we will arrange a time to call you.
What insurance do we have?
We are insured with Hiscox insurance, covered under our parent company Lakewood media Limited.
