Secure My Joomla
Proactive Joomla security hardening. We audit, harden, and protect your Joomla site from attacks before they happen. Don't wait for a hack—prevent it.
Joomla Security Hardening & Protection
Joomla is the second most commonly infected CMS. Vulnerable third-party extensions and outdated core software are primary attack vectors. Don't wait for an attack. Harden your Joomla site now.
We conduct comprehensive Joomla security audits, implement hardening measures, and set up ongoing protection. Powered by VirusDie, RSFirewall, Admin Tools, and professional Joomla security tools.
Joomla Security Audit
Comprehensive Joomla security assessment. We scan extensions, templates, core files, configuration.php, .htaccess, and database for vulnerabilities. We identify weak passwords, outdated software, and misconfigurations in Joomla 3.x and 4.x.
Joomla Hardening
We implement Joomla security best practices: secure configuration.php, harden .htaccess, set proper file permissions (directories 755, files 644), disable directory indexing, change database prefix, and secure administrator access.
Two-Factor Authentication
We set up 2FA for all Joomla super administrator accounts. Add an extra layer of security beyond passwords. Even if passwords are compromised, attackers can't access your Joomla site without the second factor.
Web Application Firewall
We implement a Joomla WAF (using RSFirewall or similar) to filter malicious traffic, block brute-force attacks, and prevent SQL injection and XSS attacks. Real-time protection against known Joomla attack patterns.
Extension & Template Security
We audit all Joomla extensions and templates for vulnerabilities, remove unused or insecure ones, and ensure everything is updated to secure versions. We check for known Joomla extension vulnerabilities from the Joomla Extensions Directory.
User Permission Review
We audit Joomla user accounts, remove unnecessary super administrators, enforce strong password policies, and set proper access levels. We limit administrative access to only those who need it.
Joomla Security Hardening Checklist
We implement these Joomla-specific security measures to protect your site:
configuration.php Security
We secure your configuration.php file: set proper permissions (644), protect it from public access, verify database credentials are secure, and ensure it's not exposed in error messages or backups.
.htaccess Hardening
We harden your .htaccess file: disable directory indexing (Options -Indexes), protect configuration.php and .htaccess, block PHP execution in uploads, and add security headers to prevent common Joomla attacks.
File Permissions
We set proper Joomla file permissions: directories 755, files 644, configuration.php 644. We ensure no files have 777 permissions that allow anyone to modify your Joomla files.
Database Security
We secure your Joomla database: change default table prefix (jos_ to unique), use strong database passwords, limit database user privileges, and enable database encryption if supported by your hosting.
Administrator Security
We harden Joomla administrator access: change default admin URL using AdminExile, password-protect /administrator/ directory, limit access by IP address, implement 2FA, and add CAPTCHA to prevent brute-force attacks.
Core & Extension Updates
We update Joomla core, extensions, and templates to latest secure versions. We remove abandoned extensions, check for known vulnerabilities, and ensure compatibility with your Joomla version (3.x or 4.x).

Why Joomla Security Hardening Is Critical
Joomla sites are attacked every day. Proactive security hardening prevents attacks before they happen.
Prevent Joomla Hacks
Most Joomla hacks exploit known vulnerabilities. Security hardening patches these vulnerabilities and implements protections before attackers can exploit them.
Protect Customer Data
Joomla sites often store customer data. Security hardening protects this sensitive information from breaches that could lead to legal and financial consequences.
Maintain SEO Rankings
Hacked Joomla sites get blacklisted by Google, destroying SEO rankings. Security hardening prevents hacks and maintains your search engine visibility.
Save Money
Preventing Joomla hacks is far cheaper than cleanup. Security hardening costs €197-€497. Malware removal after a hack costs €199+ plus lost revenue and reputation damage.
Compliance Requirements
Many industries require security hardening for compliance. Our Joomla security audits help you meet GDPR, PCI-DSS, and other regulatory requirements.
Peace of Mind
Knowing your Joomla site is hardened gives you confidence. You can focus on your business instead of worrying about security threats.
