In addition to standard preventative security measures, some hosting companies offer one-time add-on services that harden your server against possible threats. These add-on services can include a security audit/scan for your server among other preventative procedures.

It solely depends with their offer. It's better to go with managed hosting that can provide SLA with compensation.
