Security Breaches For JSG Clients

1.2 Secs

Average JSG Page Load Time


The Story:

A prospect approached us in October of 2015 and asked us to perform a website audit on their current site.

After digging into the website, we found hidden links across their unsecured content management platform. Utilizing free and cut-rate technology providers led to several unfortunate consequences for our client. In short, hackers had a very easy time accessing outdated plugins allowing them access to critical business infrastructure.

Luckily, none of their customer data had been connected to their website, but not so luckily, Google took notice and disapproved.

Spam like this can decimate a website’s ability to show up on search. In the end, we not only secured their site, but also continue to protect and monitor it as we draw in more and more traffic.

The Solution:

Jump Suit Group migrated this client’s website to a secure server and host, and then proceeded to take the following steps:

  1. Installed SSL Certificate.
  2. Secured the entire site with an HTTPS domain.
  3. Rebuilt the entire website with a clean and lean new design for the purpose of lead generation and user experience.
  4. Continued watching for hacks, monitoring site traffic, and protecting our customer’s data (in form submissions).

About

Our client is a stronghold in the Massachusetts insurance community and has relationships with dozens of carriers. They proved to be one of our most forward-thinking clients thus far, but their original website left them open to hidden and detrimental hacks. Together we created a secured digital strategy targeting the unique lines of business they write while providing current customers increased access to agents.
