Your website and applications are only as secure as the environment they run on. Cloud and hosting offer many advantages, but security is a shared responsibility: the provider secures the infrastructure, while you (or your management partner) handle the configuration, access and data.
What to look out for
- Secure configuration — do not leave default settings in place.
- Patch management — keep the server and software up to date.
- Backups with restore testing and retention periods.
- Monitoring & logging — detect incidents.
- Encryption (HTTPS, data at rest) and access management.
- Continuity — uptime agreements (SLA).
Managed, secure hosting
With managed hosting we take patch management, monitoring, backups and hardening off your hands. For compliance-sensitive organisations, this aligns with ISO 27001.

It is a shared responsibility. The cloud or hosting provider secures the underlying infrastructure, while you remain responsible for the correct configuration, access management, updates to your own software and the protection of your data. Many incidents are caused by misconfiguration on the customer side.
Secure hosting combines a hardened environment with proactive management: timely updates, a firewall, monitoring, encryption, automated backups with restore testing and incident response. It is about managed security, not just server space.
Essential. Backups are only valuable if recovery actually works, which is why a periodic restore test is part of it. This means that after an incident, error or attack you can recover quickly and fully with minimal downtime and data loss.
