Website Protection Checklist for 2026
A practical checklist for agencies and founders: SSL, backups, copy protection, DMCA readiness, and client domain licensing.
Security is more than firewalls. If your content walks out the door, your marketing funnel leaks. Use this 2026 checklist.
Technical basics
- HTTPS everywhere + HSTS where possible
- Weekly backups stored off-site
- CMS and plugin updates within 7 days
- Strong admin passwords + 2FA
Content protection
- Licensed copy-protection script on client sites
- Image right-click warnings on portfolios
- Visible protection badge linked to status page
- Registry of protected domains with expiry dates
Legal readiness
- Copyright ownership documented
- DMCA / notice templates ready
- Contact channel for infringement reports
Operations
- Monthly scan for cloned pages
- Expiry alerts 30 days before license end
- Client education: “what protection covers / does not cover”
WebLock’s admin panel is built around this checklist — domains, plans, expiry, embed code, and status verification in one place.
