Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's web design agencies could expose client websites, hosting panels and CMS admin accounts, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why web design agencies are targeted: Design agencies host many sites on shared servers. One outdated plugin can infect every client.
