For everyone else, this post is about an important topic: Website Security!
A fully secure website not only enhances the credibility of your offering,
it also helps strengthen the trust relationship with the visitors of your homepage. After all, who enjoys visiting a website that your browser already warns as “Not Secure” when loading? We certainly don’t.
A poorly secured or insecure website can cause significant damage. From malware on the server to intercepting sensitive data, the risks are real. That’s why it’s crucial to build a website according to current security standards and maintain it regularly afterward. Alongside SSL encryption and spam protection, updating privacy policies and cookie banners to meet the latest legal standards is also necessary. And, of course, these regulations must be followed.
Otherwise, you could face hefty fines from cease-and-desist lawyers.
We recommend regularly keeping your homepage up to date
not just technically or in terms of content, but also in terms of security through regular, security-related updates. Even though it may seem “not so serious” to neglect these tasks once in a while, let’s be honest: You wouldn’t leave your bike, car, or house unsecured, would you?
Of course, maintaining and updating a website takes time, and what we’ve outlined here is just a small part of the picture, which can vary from case to case.
If you don’t have the time to manage your website or to learn the necessary skills, we strongly recommend finding someone to handle this task for you.
