Same basics, they just matter more. Keep core, themes and plugins updated (auto-updates on for plugins you trust). Delete plugins you aren't using, deactivated still counts as attack surface. 2FA on every admin account. Offsite backups you've actually tested restoring. And add define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true); to wp-config.php so a stolen login can't edit theme files from the dashboard. Most hacks I've cleaned up came through an abandoned plugin, not a password.
