Security Is a Shared Responsibility
Moko Consulting handles server-level security, updates, and monitoring — but you play an important role too. Here's how to keep your MokoWaaS site safe from your end.
Password Security
- Use strong passwords — At least 12 characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
- Never reuse passwords — Your site password should be unique.
- Use a password manager — Tools like Bitwarden, 1Password, or LastPass generate and store strong passwords securely.
- Change passwords regularly — Especially if someone leaves your team.
User Account Safety
- Limit admin accounts — Only people who need admin access should have it.
- Disable unused accounts — Don't leave old accounts active.
- Use individual accounts — Sharing credentials makes it impossible to track who did what.
Content Safety
- Be cautious with embedded code — Don't paste HTML, JavaScript, or iframe code from untrusted sources into your articles.
- Verify links before adding them — Make sure external links go where you expect.
- Don't install extensions yourself — Contact Moko Consulting if you need new functionality. Unapproved extensions can introduce vulnerabilities.
What Moko Consulting Does
Behind the scenes, we protect your site with:
- Automated backups — Daily backups so we can restore your site if anything goes wrong.
- Security updates — Joomla core and extension patches applied promptly.
- Server hardening — Firewall rules, intrusion detection, and secure configurations.
