Short answer
No. Your Tree View Designs website is not affected by NHS Cyber Alert
CC-4774 (the cPanel/WHM vulnerability). No action is required from you.
Why we're not affected
Your website does not run on cPanel or WHM. These are server management
tools used by some generic web hosting providers; we do not use them.
Our infrastructure is built and managed in-house, kept fully patched,
and aligned with the NHS Digital DSP Toolkit and Cyber Essentials Plus
accreditation.
