Website Security & SSL: Protecting Your Business Online in India

A hacked or insecure website loses customer trust, rankings and revenue. Basic security is non-negotiable — especially as India\'s DPDP Act raises data-protection stakes.

SSL is the baseline

An SSL certificate (HTTPS) encrypts data and is required for trust, payments and SEO. Browsers flag non-HTTPS sites as "not secure".

Core protections

• Keep the platform, themes and plugins updated
• Strong passwords and two-factor authentication
• A web application firewall (WAF)
• Malware scanning and monitoring
• Automatic, off-site daily backups

Protect customer data

Under the DPDP Act, you must safeguard personal data with reasonable security and handle it responsibly. Collect only what you need and secure it.

Secure payments

Use PCI-compliant gateways and never store raw card data yourself.

Have a recovery plan

Backups and an incident plan mean that if something goes wrong, you can restore quickly and communicate clearly.
