There are ways to safeguard yourself.

- store sensitive data elsewhere, NEVER store customer data in the WordPress database that your plugins have access to

- move wp-admin and prohibit access to certain files

- disable all remote access functionality and cross posting

- disable updates

- disable all write functions on directories that aren’t /uploads

Etc


But again, all it takes is 1 user to add their favorite SEO plugin or database backup utility and you’re toast.
