Find the Weaknesses Before Someone Else Does.
Your website or web application can contain customer information, administrative accounts, databases, APIs and connections to critical business systems. Certtech helps businesses identify vulnerabilities, strengthen their applications and recover websites that have already been compromised.
Is Your Website Actually Secure?
A website can appear completely normal while serious security weaknesses exist behind the scenes. Outdated software, insecure configurations, weak authentication, vulnerable dependencies and improper access controls can create opportunities for attackers.
Certtech security assessments examine what is happening beneath the surface and help identify vulnerabilities before they become security incidents.
Prevent It — or Recover From It.
Whether you want to get ahead of a problem or you're dealing with one right now, there's a clear path forward.
Security Assessment
Have your website or web application reviewed for vulnerabilities, configuration issues and potential security weaknesses.
Assess My WebsiteHacked Website Recovery
If your website has been compromised, we'll help investigate the incident, remove malicious content and strengthen the site against reinfection.
Get Emergency HelpKnow What's Happening Behind the Surface.
Our website security assessments examine common vulnerabilities, configuration weaknesses and security controls that may put your website, business or users at risk.
Website Configuration
Review potentially unsafe configuration settings and unnecessary exposure.
Authentication & Login Security
Evaluate administrative access, authentication controls and account protection.
CMS & Software
Review CMS installations, plugins, themes, frameworks and other dependencies.
Hosting & Server Configuration
Identify potentially unsafe server settings, exposed services and configuration weaknesses.
SSL/TLS & Security Headers
Review HTTPS configuration and browser security protections.
Forms & User Input
Assess how information submitted through the website is handled.
Backups & Recovery
Review whether reliable recovery options exist if an incident occurs.
Logging & Monitoring
Determine whether suspicious activity can be identified and investigated.
Custom Applications Require More Than a Malware Scanner.
Client portals, SaaS platforms, dashboards, internal business systems and API-connected applications introduce security risks that traditional website scanning tools may never identify.
Certtech can evaluate the architecture, authentication, permissions, configuration and application logic behind custom web applications.
Every layer is a potential attack surface.
Authentication
Password security, account protection and session management.
Access Control
Whether users can access information or functionality they shouldn't.
Application Configuration
Development settings, error handling, server configuration and exposed services.
Input & Data Handling
How forms, URLs, APIs and other application inputs are processed.
Dependencies
Third-party packages, frameworks, plugins and software components.
API Security
Authentication, authorization, exposed endpoints and request validation.
Sensitive Information
Potential exposure of credentials, API keys, configuration files and customer data.
Security assessments can incorporate recognized web application security guidance including OWASP.
Has Your Website Already Been Hacked?
If your website is redirecting visitors, displaying unfamiliar pages, sending spam, showing browser warnings or behaving differently than normal, it may already be compromised.
Certtech can help investigate what happened, remove identified malicious content and address security weaknesses that may have contributed to the compromise.

Noticing one or more of these? It's worth investigating quickly — get in touch and we'll help you assess the situation.
Clean the Website. Find the Cause. Secure the Entry Point.
Simply deleting malicious files may not solve the problem. If the weakness that allowed the compromise remains, the website can become infected again.
Investigate
Review the website, hosting environment, application configuration, files and available logs to determine the potential scope of the incident.
Contain
Help limit continued damage while preserving information that may be useful during the investigation.
Remove
Remove identified malicious files, injected code, unauthorized accounts, spam pages and other indicators of compromise.
Patch
Address vulnerable software, configuration issues or security weaknesses discovered during the investigation.
Harden
Implement appropriate security improvements to reduce the attack surface.
Monitor
Continue watching for suspicious activity or signs that an attacker is attempting to regain access.
Reduce Your Attack Surface.
After an assessment or security incident, Certtech can help strengthen the website or application by implementing appropriate layers of protection. This pairs naturally with ongoing website maintenance.
Security isn't one setting or one plugin. It requires multiple layers working together.
Security Testing Based on Recognized Industry Guidance.
For web applications, assessments can incorporate recognized security guidance such as the OWASP Top 10 to help identify common application security risks.
The goal is not simply to generate an automated vulnerability report. Certtech helps identify what matters, explain the potential risk and provide practical recommendations for remediation.
Know What We Found — and What to Fix First.
Security reports should help you make decisions, not overwhelm you with pages of automated scanner output.
Executive Summary

Security for More Than WordPress.
From simple brochure sites to complex platforms, we help protect the systems your business runs on.
Business Websites
Protect public-facing websites, customer inquiries and your company's online reputation.
WordPress Websites
Investigate malware, compromised plugins, vulnerable themes, administrative accounts and website configuration.
Custom Websites
Assess custom-developed websites where standard CMS security tools may provide limited visibility.
Web Applications
Assess portals, dashboards, internal systems, SaaS applications and custom business platforms.
APIs
Evaluate endpoints connecting applications, databases and business systems.
E-Commerce Websites
Help protect administrative access, customer-facing functionality and the systems surrounding online transactions.
Developers Who Understand Security.
Security problems are often development problems.
Because Certtech builds websites and custom web applications, we understand the code, infrastructure, authentication systems, APIs and architecture behind modern web platforms.
That allows us to look beyond a basic malware scan and help determine why a security problem exists and what needs to change.
Web Development Experience
We understand how modern websites are built and configured.
Custom Application Experience
We work with databases, APIs, authentication systems and application functionality.
Practical Recommendations
Security findings are translated into clear and actionable remediation steps.
Local Support
Certtech is based in Barrie, Ontario and works with organizations throughout Ontario and across Canada.
Security Testing You Control.
Active security testing should only be performed with authorization from the system owner. Before testing begins, Certtech establishes the systems included in the assessment, permitted testing activities and boundaries of the engagement.
Don't Wait Until Your Website Gets Hacked.
Whether you want an independent security review, need help protecting a custom web application or are dealing with a website that's already been compromised, Certtech can help determine what needs attention.
Let's find the vulnerabilities before someone else does.
