Your domain is the front door. Who else has a key?

Field Note #324
🔬 Generalized ⏱ 5 Minutes ✓ Industry Best Practice
Your website may have one address, but there can be a lot connected to what sits behind it.
Users who can log in.
Plugins and themes that run code.
Third-party services with integrations.
Hosting and DNS accounts.
Backup systems.
Email accounts used for recovery.
That’s why website security isn’t just about having an SSL certificate or keeping WordPress updated.
It’s about knowing what’s connected, who has access, and what happens if something goes wrong.
A few questions worth asking:
→ Who still has an account?
→ Which services can access the site?
→ Are old integrations still needed?
→ Where are your backups, and can you actually restore one?
→ Would you know if something changed?
You don’t need to be a cybersecurity expert to understand your website’s access points.
Your domain is the front door. Know who has a key.
