When using One Click Install App to install Wordpress or Lamp stack or any other app, is its security setting already strengthened as well? Or is it just basic set up that I need to change or add security measurement myself?

The One-Click apps has firewall and a few other things enabled - and stronger passwords then what most people would manually set for their database, but other than that, no, there’s not a lot of security hardening. I would recommend that you go through everything yourself - and enhance the security to the level you feel is necessary for your website.
