Short answer: Cyber Defence provides website maintenance and AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) services for Indian businesses - security patching, backups, uptime monitoring, updates, bug fixes and content changes - from Rs 1,000-5,000+ per month.

What is website maintenance and who needs it?
Website maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps a live website secure, fast, up to date and error-free after launch. A website is not a one-time build; software gets outdated, plugins develop vulnerabilities, servers need patching, and content needs refreshing. Without maintenance, sites get hacked, slow down, break on new browsers, or silently lose Google rankings.
An AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) bundles this work into a predictable monthly or yearly plan. You need website maintenance if you run:
- A business website that represents your brand and generates leads.
- A WordPress or CMS site with plugins that need regular updates.
- An e-commerce store where downtime directly costs sales.
- A custom web application that needs bug fixes and feature tweaks.
- Any site handling customer data, where a breach is a serious risk.
What is included in our maintenance and AMC service
Our plans cover the technical and content upkeep that keeps your site healthy:
- Security patching - core, plugin, theme and dependency updates, reviewed by a CEH/CRTA-certified developer.
- Automated backups - regular off-site backups so you can always restore.
- Uptime monitoring - alerts if your site goes down, with fast response.
- Malware scanning and hardening - proactive checks and firewall/security-header configuration.
- Bug fixes - resolving broken forms, layout issues and errors.
- Content updates - text, images, pages, banners and offers as you need them.
- Performance tuning - image optimisation, caching and Core Web Vitals monitoring.
- SEO health checks - broken links, sitemap, indexing and technical SEO monitoring.
- Monthly reports - a clear summary of what was done and your site's health.
What happens without maintenance
Neglected sites fail in predictable ways. An unpatched CMS is the single most common cause of website hacks in India. Outdated PHP or Node versions break plugins. Expired SSL certificates throw browser warnings that scare away customers. Slow, unoptimised pages quietly drop down Google. Maintenance is insurance that costs far less than an emergency rebuild or a breach cleanup.
Our maintenance process
We keep maintenance transparent and proactive, following the same lifecycle we use to build sites - design, build, test, publish, maintain - applied to ongoing care.
- 1. Audit - We review your current site's security, speed, backups and technical health and give you a baseline report.
- 2. Plan - We agree a flat monthly plan matched to your site's size and risk.
- 3. Secure and update - We apply patches and updates on a schedule, testing on a staging copy before pushing live.
- 4. Monitor - We watch uptime, security and performance continuously and act on alerts.
- 5. Report - You receive a monthly summary of updates, backups, incidents and improvements.

How to choose a maintenance partner
Not all AMC providers are equal, and the cheapest quote often hides the biggest risk. Before you sign, look past the monthly figure and check what is actually promised. A serious maintenance partner tells you exactly what is covered, how often updates happen, where your backups are stored and how quickly they respond when something breaks.
- Response time (SLA). Ask how fast they respond to a down site or a security incident. Vague answers are a red flag.
- Backup policy. Backups should be automated, off-site and tested - a backup you cannot restore is worthless.
- Security expertise. Whoever patches your site should understand attacks. Our maintenance is reviewed by a CEH/CRTA-certified developer.
- Transparency. Insist on monthly reports so you can see the value you are paying for.
- Ownership. Your code, hosting and domain must stay in your name, with no lock-in.
What a neglected site really costs
A single successful hack can mean days of downtime, lost customer trust, a Google "this site may be hacked" warning, and a cleanup bill far larger than years of maintenance. Data-protection expectations in India are also rising, and a breach of customer data carries reputational and legal risk. A steady, low monthly maintenance fee is one of the highest-return investments a small business can make - it protects revenue, reputation and search rankings all at once. Think of it as insurance you actually use every month, not just when disaster strikes.
Maintenance also quietly compounds in your favour over time. A site that is consistently fast, secure and error-free earns Google's trust, keeps its rankings and converts more visitors, while a neglected one slowly loses ground until an expensive rebuild becomes the only option. Regular content updates and small improvements keep your pages relevant to both search engines and customers. With a Cyber Defence AMC you get a dedicated point of contact who already knows your site, so requests are handled quickly and correctly rather than being figured out from scratch each time - the difference between a partner who owns your site's health and a freelancer you chase whenever something breaks.
