1. Keep WordPress up to date: Outdated versions of WordPress leave you vulnerable to hacks. Keeping your site up to date will prevent some of these hacks. But you also need to know what you’re doing, because new versions of WordPress may be missing certain tools or may be incompatible with existing plugins. Managing WordPress versions is an important security tool.
2. Plugin Management: When you  first download and use a plugin, it may be perfectly safe. But if the owner doesn’t keep the plugin up to date with current requirements for new versions of WordPress, you may end up with security vulnerabilities. A security consultant ensures that your plugins are safe to use over the long term.
3. Monitoring: Security consultants constantly monitor your WordPress administrator for suspicious behavior. Once they notice something, they can alert you and suggest a solution before the vulnerability becomes a problem.
