I do a few things.
I enabled security features on my hosting service which helps to monitor for threats.
I only have one admin and that's me. Any other staff member is a moderator. There is no need for multiple admins aside from a tech admin if you must have one. I'd still create and require a contract for the admin to sign.
I use SSL like everyone else.
I keep a strong password and use 2FA for my account.
I'm super picky on adding new plugins. I try to keep that number down to a very low amount. Plugins = potential back doors.
