Remember when installing an SSL certificate and seeing that little green padlock was enough to call your site “secure”? Those days are long gone. In 2025, browsers still require HTTPS, but real attacks now happen far beyond the transport layer, and customers expect much more from businesses they trust online.

Modern threats include automated credential stuffing, supply-chain JavaScript attacks, client-side Magecart skimmers, and sophisticated bot networks that steal data directly from your visitors’ browsers. A valid SSL does nothing to stop these. Hong Kong businesses lost over HK$2.4 billion to cyber incidents last year alone, many through websites everyone assumed were safe.

Real website security today is built in layers. ANGLIA approaches every website design in Hong Kong with enterprise-grade protection from the ground up: hardened servers with automatic patching, Web Application Firewalls tuned specifically for each project, runtime application self-protection, and strict Content Security Policy headers that block malicious scripts before they execute.

Our e-commerce solutions take it further—tokenised payments that never touch your server, real-time fraud monitoring, automatic PCI-DSS scoping reduction, and client-side encryption that keeps card data invisible even to your own database. Add regular third-party penetration testing and 24/7 incident response, and you have protection that actually works.

Search engines now factor security signals into rankings too. Sites with proper Subresource Integrity, secure cookie flags, and zero known vulnerabilities consistently outrank competitors still relying on “just SSL” in 2025.

The smartest Hong Kong companies have already moved past the padlock myth. They partner with a Hong Kong website design agency that treats security as a core feature, not an afterthought.
