"Job Title: One-Time WordPress Security Cleanup & Hardening Project

Project Description: We have recently experienced a malware/virus attack on our WordPress website and are in the process of recovering. We are looking for a security expert for a one-time project to perform a final, definitive cleanup and to "harden" the site against future attacks.

The goal is to have the site professionally cleaned, audited, and secured, applying all industry best practices.

Scope of Work / Deliverables:

Complete Malware Removal:

Perform a deep, server-level scan of all website files and the database.

Manually inspect and remove all malicious code, backdoors, and suspicious files.

Provide a guarantee (e.g., 30 days) that the site is 100% clean.

Website Hardening:

Implement all core WordPress security hardening best practices (e.g., protect [login to view URL], disable file editing, secure login URL, etc.).

Review and set correct file/folder permissions.

Review all user accounts, remove any suspicious ones, and enforce strong password policies.

Security Tool Installation & Configuration:

Install and configure a premium security plugin and Web Application Firewall (WAF) to block common attacks.

Enable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all admin accounts.

Updates & Audit:

Update WordPress core, all plugins, and all themes to their latest, secure versions.

Remove any unused or "abandoned" plugins/themes that pose a security risk.

Final Report:

Provide a detailed report of all malware found, actions taken, and all hardening measures implemented.

Provide recommendations for our team on how to maintain security moving forward (e.g., backup schedule, update process)." (client-provided description)
