Church websites collect giving data, prayer requests, children's check-in info, and staff emails — yet most are not secured to the standard expected for handling that kind of sensitive information. A breach isn't just a tech problem. It's a trust problem with your congregation.

What We Find on Most Church Sites
These aren't rare edge cases. We see these on the majority of church websites we review — and most are easy to fix once you know they're there.
👤

Staff Usernames Publicly Exposed

WordPress sites often expose every admin account name through a public API. Attackers use this to target your login page with automated password attacks.

Found on 78% of WP church sites
🔓

Outdated Plugins with Known Vulnerabilities

Unpatched plugins are the #1 way church websites get hacked. A single outdated contact form or event calendar plugin can open the door to a full site takeover.

Found on 71% of church sites
🛡️

Missing Security Headers

Security headers tell visitors' browsers how to behave safely. Without them, your site is more vulnerable to cross-site scripting and clickjacking attacks.

🔑

No Two-Factor Authentication

If any admin account uses a weak or reused password with no 2FA, a single data breach on any other site can unlock your WordPress dashboard.

📧

Email Addresses in Page Source

Staff emails written directly in your HTML are harvested by spam bots within hours of posting. This leads to phishing attempts against your church staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need our login credentials?

No. Our audit is fully passive — we only examine what any visitor (or attacker) can see publicly. We never ask for passwords or admin access.

What platforms do you audit?

We audit any publicly accessible website — WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, custom-built, or anything else. If it has a URL, we can audit it.

How long does the audit take?

You'll receive your report within 48 hours of submitting your site URL. Most reports are delivered same-day for sites submitted before noon.

Will you fix the issues for us?

The Starter and Full Audit include a fix guide and walkthrough call. If your team needs hands-on help, we offer implementation support as an add-on ($75/hr).

Is this a penetration test?

No — a penetration test involves active exploitation and requires signed legal agreements. Our audit is a passive security review using only publicly available information.

Does this replace our IT team?

We complement your IT volunteer or staff. Our report gives them a clear prioritized list to work from — saving them research time and ensuring nothing critical is missed.
