SecureWP: Hardened WordPress Hosting with RDS & VPC Security on AWS

SecureWP by Factual Minds is a fully managed WordPress implementation and security hardening service purpose-built for AWS environments. Many WordPress users—especially on EC2 and RDS—unknowingly leave critical components exposed to the public internet to avoid performance trade-offs, creating major risks of cyberattacks, data leaks, and downtime. SecureWP eliminates this trade-off by combining performance optimization with enterprise-grade cloud security.

We rearchitect your WordPress and RDS setup using AWS-native best practices, including private subnets, NAT gateways, application load balancers (ALB), AWS WAF, and IAM hardening. You retain full access to your WordPress features, themes, and plugins, while gaining the benefits of a hardened VPC layout, secure RDS connectivity (via IAM DB auth and Secrets Manager), and optional caching via Redis or CloudFront. The result is a more resilient, scalable architecture built for production workloads.

SecureWP enhances site speed, reduces crash frequency, filters malicious traffic, and ensures compliance with modern cloud security standards. Ideal for blogs, eCommerce platforms, media publishers, and SMBs, this offering includes root cause analysis, HTTPS termination via ALB, AWS Shield protection, bot mitigation, IP reputation filtering, and optional monthly patching and monitoring. Whether you're migrating or improving an existing AWS WordPress deployment, SecureWP gives you a solid foundation to scale securely.
