# Website Security *** ### Secure your website with TLS 1.3 / 1.2 We secure our websites with the latest **Transport Layer Security (TLS)** protocol version and offer support for TLS 1.2 if your installed user base requires it. TLS ensures that all data transmitted between your website and its visitors is encrypted, making it more resilient against cyber threats. It gives your website the security padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. This contributes to a trustworthy online presence that protects sensitive customer information and boosts customer confidence. Adopting TLS can also improve your website’s SEO ranking, as HTTPS is a ranking factor. *** ### Defend your website with advanced firewalling We safeguard our websites using a triple-lock of advanced protection methods. Leveraging **Google Cloud's** robust firewall infrastructure, we are defended against various online threats, such as DDoS attacks, where multiple computers can overwhelm a website with traffic, making it slower or unavailable to users. **Cloudflare**'s web application firewall (WAF) also inspects traffic to detect and block suspicious or malicious visitors to your website. We also implement **customised security rules** and **enterprise-grade infrastructure**, providing an extra layer of defence. These can be customised to match your specific security requirements and mitigate emerging threats effectively. *** ### Frequent vulnerability scans of your website We conduct frequent vulnerability scans of all our websites to identify and address potential security weaknesses before they can be exploited. These proactive checks help detect weaknesses and fix them promptly. Regular scans maintain our websites’ integrity and functionality, minimising the risk of cyber-attacks and potential downtime for your business. *** ### Real-time retained version of your website code We store a real-time version of every website's code, ensuring that each change is immediately captured and preserved. This provides a comprehensive backup of the codebase, enabling version control and quick restoration in the event of an unexpected issue. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
