From clients
What engagements look like in practice
“The assessment flagged an abandoned staging subdomain we had forgotten after a redesign. The remediation list was ordered by what our one developer could finish in a week, which mattered more than a long theoretical report. I still wish the first call had been shorter — we spent time restating hosting details already in the questionnaire — but the written pack was clear enough for our host's support team to act without another round of meetings.”
“We run two WordPress sites on the same cPanel account. Content Sprucefield walked through FTP users left over from a 2022 freelancer and showed us how to jail new accounts to a single folder. Backup restore paths were documented in language our office manager could follow.”
