WP + plugin updates tested in a staging environment. Rollback on conflict before anything reaches production.
Backups every 24h to external storage (S3 / Wasabi / B2). At least 30-day retention.

Before taking over a site, we review its access and technical condition. The agreement covers updates, backups and how to report incidents.
Scope and handover
How do we report outages, and what response time does the contract specify?
Where do we test updates, and how do we roll them back?
Where are backups stored, how long are they kept and how do we test restoration?
Who manages access, and what security measures does this site need?
