Security & Maintenance

Protect what you've built and keep it running reliably.

Launching an application is the beginning, not the end. Dependencies need updates, vulnerabilities need patching, and backups need to work when you actually need them. I provide the ongoing care that keeps your site safe and your business protected.

What I Do

  • Security audits and vulnerability assessments
  • Regular dependency updates and patch management
  • Automated backup setup and recovery testing
  • Uptime monitoring with alerting
  • Ongoing maintenance retainers — monthly or as-needed

Who It's For

Businesses with an existing web application who want peace of mind that it's being looked after without maintaining an in-house technical team.

Technologies & Tools

OWASP SSL/TLS Automated Backups Uptime Monitoring Composer npm Security Scanning

Common Questions

How often should a website be updated?

Security patches should be applied promptly — often within days of release for critical vulnerabilities. Framework and dependency updates can be batched monthly. I handle all of this as part of a maintenance retainer.

What does a security audit cover?

A security audit reviews your application for common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10), misconfigured infrastructure, outdated dependencies, weak authentication patterns, and data exposure risks.

Do I need a maintenance retainer or can I pay per incident?

Both work. A retainer is better value for sites with regular needs. Per-incident works if your site rarely changes. The risk with per-incident is that you're reactive rather than proactive.
