Security that's actually built in — not bolted on.
Most small business websites are never checked for security until something goes wrong. MacKinnon Tech builds basic security into every site from the start, and offers ongoing reviews so problems get caught early — handled directly, with no inflated claims about what's actually being done.
The basics, done properly — every time.
This is the foundation every MacKinnon Tech site is built on, and the core of what gets reviewed in ongoing security check-ins.
SSL & encryption checks
Confirming your site is served securely and that visitor data — especially anything submitted through forms — is protected in transit.
Form & spam protection
Honeypot fields, validation, and rate limiting so contact and booking forms don’t turn into a spam funnel.
Hardening & access review
Reviewing logins, admin access, and configuration so the site isn’t left wide open to common automated attacks.
Dependency & plugin review
Checking the software your site runs on for known issues, outdated packages, and unnecessary attack surface.
Backup planning
Making sure there’s an actual recovery plan if something goes wrong — not just hoping it never does.
Plain-language reporting
You get a clear summary of what was checked, what was found, and what (if anything) needs attention — no jargon walls.
What this is — and what it isn't.
This service covers the practical security work that keeps a small business website from being an easy target — SSL, hardening, form protection, backups, and reviews. It is not a penetration test or a compliance audit, and MacKinnon Tech won't describe it as one. If your business needs deeper assessment work, that conversation starts the same way every other project does — directly, with a clear scope before anything begins.
