⚜ Plain English
Website Security Audit = technical scan of your website looking for vulnerabilities attackers exploit. SSL misconfigurations, missing security headers, malware infections, exposed admin panels, vulnerable plugins, mixed-content warnings, weak WAF, DNS issues. Different from OPSEC audit (which looks at intentionally-public info that shouldn't be). Website Security Audit finds the technical gaps — the ones attackers scan for.

❓ Common Questions

FAQ.

Website Security Audit vs OPSEC Audit — what's the difference?

Website Security Audit = technical vulnerabilities (SSL, headers, malware, plugin CVEs). OPSEC Audit = intentionally-public info that shouldn't be (employee bios, client mentions, machinery photos). Both matter; they're complementary.

Is this a penetration test?

No. Pentesting actively exploits vulnerabilities. Security Audit identifies vulnerabilities without exploitation. Media Express doesn't offer pentesting — for that we refer to specialized security firms.

How often should I audit?

Annual minimum. Quarterly if you use WordPress with many plugins. Monthly automated re-scan is included in retainer tier. Also after major changes: new plugins, theme swap, migration.

What if you find malware?

Immediate escalation call + incident response guidance. Audit + Fix tier includes malware removal. If we find nation-state or targeted attacks, we coordinate specialized incident response.

Do you audit sites you didn't build?

Yes. Most audits are on sites Media Express did not build. WordPress, Shopify, custom stacks, subdomain sprawls — we audit them all.
