Cornershop takes data security seriously. We treat your confidential and sensitive information with the same level of security that we would want for our own data. The following provides details on how we provide that security and what measures Cornershop takes to ensure your data is secure and private.
Website Security
To make sure your site is secure and stable, we implement several security practices and monitoring services. Most importantly, we focus on updating plugins regularly, and use the Wordfence security plugin for its firewall and two-factor authentication features. On sites with high traffic, we have additional recommendations that can be applied, such as Cloudflare’s web application firewall and Bot Fight Mode.
Firewalls use rulesets maintained by security experts to detect and block malicious activity of all kinds. Wordfence is specifically geared toward WordPress sites, so its ruleset is designed to handle common WordPress attack vectors, including known security holes in older plugins, and any new unpatched exploits that might be discovered in the WordPress platform.
Two-factor authentication prevents attackers from logging into your site even if they manage to steal or guess your password.
