Cyber Security Sussex
Helping Businesses Stay Safe Online
With over 25 years of experience in web design, hosting, and online systems, we’ve seen the internet evolve — and so have the threats that come with it. Today, cyber security is more important than ever for Sussex businesses. Whether you run a small local company or a growing online enterprise, protecting your website, data, and digital systems should be a top priority.
At Worldwide Webdesign, we understand how vital it is to stay secure in a world where technology changes fast. Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of clients build and maintain websites — and we’ve seen first-hand the risks that come from poor security, outdated software, or a lack of awareness.
Our team can help you review your current setup, identify vulnerabilities, and connect you with trusted cybersecurity specialists when needed. From basic security checks to full-scale audits, we can help you find the right level of protection for your business.
Why Cyber Security Matters
Cyber attacks can happen to anyone. Criminals don’t just target large corporations — small and medium-sized businesses across Sussex are increasingly at risk. Losing access to your website, data, or client information can cause serious damage to your finances and reputation.
Some of the most common cyber security threats include:
- Phishing and Email Scams: Fraudulent emails that attempt to steal passwords, logins, or payment information.
- Ransomware and Malware: Malicious software that can lock or destroy data until a ransom is paid.
- Website Vulnerabilities: Outdated plugins, themes, or hosting systems that create openings for hackers.
- Weak Passwords: Simple or reused passwords that can easily be guessed or stolen.
- Data Breaches: Customer or business data leaked through insecure systems or cloud storage.
- Unsecured Networks: Poorly configured Wi-Fi or devices that expose your systems to outside threats.

FAQs – Cyber Security Sussex
Q: What is a cybersecurity audit?
A: A cybersecurity audit is a detailed review of your digital systems, including websites, networks, hosting, and data storage. The purpose is to identify vulnerabilities, assess current security measures, and provide recommendations to reduce risks. Even small businesses benefit from audits, as they help prevent data loss, breaches, or costly downtime.
Q: How can I tell if my website has been hacked?
A: Often, you cannot tell straight away if a website has been compromised. Some attacks leave no visible signs, while others may cause unusual error messages, slow performance, unexpected redirects, or strange content appearing on your site.
Older WordPress sites are particularly at risk. They may contain outdated plugins, themes, or hidden spammy links that hackers exploit. Linking your site to Google Search Console allows you to monitor alerts, detect unusual activity, and see if Google has flagged security issues. Regular monitoring, updates, and backups help keep your site safe.
Q: Do I need cybersecurity measures if my business is small?
A: Yes. Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly targeted because attackers assume they have weaker security. Even basic precautions, such as strong passwords, updated plugins, secure hosting, and monitoring tools, can prevent serious problems and protect your reputation.
Q: What does the free consultation include?
A: Our free consultation is an opportunity to discuss your online systems, any concerns about security, and potential risks. We’ll outline next steps, whether that’s advice, a simple review, or connecting you with trusted cybersecurity specialists. There’s no obligation — just clear guidance to help you make informed decisions.
Q: Will you fix the issues yourself?
A: We can handle some security improvements directly, such as implementing SSL certificates, backups, or updates. For more complex audits or technical fixes, we may recommend or connect you with trusted cybersecurity experts in Sussex. Either way, you’ll have access to the right solutions to keep your business secure.
