Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and why do I need one for my WordPress site?

A WAF sits between your website and the internet, blocking malicious traffic, hacking attempts, and automated bot attacks before they can do harm. It’s essential for protecting your website, data, and business reputation.

How does MetaShield’s managed WAF, powered by Sucuri, protect my business?

We combine Sucuri’s industry-leading firewall technology with continuous monitoring, instant threat response, and Irish-based support. This means your site is always protected, and you never have to worry about complex security settings.

Is the WAF included with MetaShield hosting, or can I add it to my existing WordPress site?

Our WAF is fully integrated with our managed WordPress hosting and maintenance packages, but we can also protect existing WordPress sites hosted elsewhere. Contact us for compatibility and setup details.

Will the firewall slow down my website or affect performance?

No, quite the opposite —our WAF is optimised for speed and makes sites faster by blocking unwanted traffic, bots, and attacks. It includes CDN technology for performance acceleration.

What types of attacks does your WAF protect against?

Our managed WAF defends against DDoS attacks, malware, brute force login attempts, SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), zero-day exploits, and more. It also blocks suspicious traffic from high-risk countries or IPs.

Does your service help with GDPR and PCI DSS compliance?

Yes. Our managed WAF and hosting solutions are designed to support GDPR and PCI DSS compliance, with features like data encryption, activity logs, and EU data centre locations.

How quickly can my business website be protected with MetaShield’s managed WAF?

Setup is fast and seamless—most sites are protected within one business day. Our onboarding team handles everything and will keep you informed every step of the way.

How often is my site scanned for threats and vulnerabilities?

Your website is monitored 24/7 with both automated and manual scans for malware, vulnerabilities, blacklisting, DNS changes, and other indicators of compromise.

How is SSL managed for my website?

We handle SSL certificate provisioning, installation, renewal, and protocol enforcement (HSTS/HTTPS)—ensuring all data is securely encrypted in transit.
