Hardening
Most breaches use a door that was left open. We close them: unnecessary access, missing updates, weak settings and backups nobody has tested.
What we cover
- Linux and Windows servers
- Cloud accounts and identity settings
- Web servers, TLS and security headers
- Databases and secrets management
- Email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
What you receive
- Hardening changes applied and documented
- Before and after checklist
- Backup restore test
- Recommended maintenance schedule
How it works
Baseline
We record the current state and agree a target based on recognized benchmarks.
Plan changes
Each change is reviewed for impact so nothing breaks unexpectedly.
Apply
Changes are rolled out in stages with a rollback plan.
Verify
We scan again, test restores and hand over the documentation.
Questions
we often get
Will hardening cause downtime?
Most changes need none. Anything that needs a restart is scheduled with you in advance.
How is this different from a penetration test?
A test finds what an attacker could exploit; hardening removes weaknesses systematically, including ones a single test might not reach.

Penetration testing
We attack your application or network the way a real attacker would, within agreed rules, and show you exactly what we could reach and how to close it.

We review your code, configurations and processes against recognized standards and give you a prioritized plan, in plain language, to close the gaps.
