To ensure the safety and reliability of a website, it is imperative to conduct periodic audits. The process begins by identifying weak passwords as well as outdated software. Consequently, there is a need to compile a list of parts of websites such as CMS and plugins that can be accessed to determine how much they are vulnerable. Ensure that all software including CMS and server software are up-to-date with the latest patches. Review roles for users and permissions given so that only authorized personnel access company information while others have their access denied. Utilize vulnerability scanners to scan for possible cross-site scripting vulnerabilities automatically in order to highlight potential issues on a website . These steps allow webmasters who do not want their sites attacked by cyber criminals or scammers to perform effective security audits on them.
