Why Do I Need a Maintenance Plan?

Bad guys abound in the digital space. Your website, the flagship of your company’s marketing program, is constantly under siege. In 2021, Sitelock noted that the average website is vulnerable to 94 attacks per day, and this number is rising every year as attacks become more sophisticated, and hackers learn new ways of infecting websites with malware.

You have a business to run—how do you also find the time in your day to protect your site against cyberattacks? This is the purpose of maintenance plans. A typical maintenance plan includes running regular updates to websites. These updates fix identified vulnerabilities as well as update plugins. A website that is updated regularly is the first line of protection against attack. We encourage all businesses that do not have a dedicated resource to focus on their websites to request their website vendor to provide maintenance.

Tizgee expands upon the basic maintenance plan by maintaining regular back ups of the website and by placing the website on a monitoring system so that our staff is alerted of any intrusions so we can take prompt action. Additionally, Tizgee changes the administrative password on the website every two weeks to further thwart intruders. Finally, Tizgee assumes full responsibility for remediating any issues that a site might experience in the unlikely event of a cyberattack that bypasses all the security mechanisms listed above.

As an added bonus, Tizgee’s monthly maintenance plan includes all content and image updates on the website as requested by the client. Our plans can also be canceled at any time with 30 days’ notice. Interested in learning more? Send us an email or give us a call at 703-400-8179 to learn both about our website development services and our maintenance plans.

“Tizgee has been our go-to web team since the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved's STAR² Center project started almost 6 years ago. We focus on training, resources, and technical assistance to recruit and retain clinicians in underserved areas. Tizgee helped us to build and maintain a clean and inviting website that functions as a resource center. We have since designed a discussion board function, built out a learning management system, developed web-based assessment tools, and added integrations to additional databases to really make our site a one-stop-shop for training and resources for our audience. ”
