In plain terms Review
What this is
Hardening review of servers, databases, and network devices against CIS Benchmarks.
Why it can hurt you
Default configurations are built for compatibility, not security, and most stay untouched from day one.
Security testing
Why it matters to you Review
The problem
Default configurations are built for compatibility, not security, and most stay untouched from day one.
Reduced attack surface
Fewer unnecessary services means fewer things to patch and monitor.
Audit alignment
CIS evidence doubles as support for ISO 27001 and SOC 2 controls.
Security testing
How we do it Review
Baseline comparison
Current configuration diffed against CIS Benchmark recommendations.
Manual verification
Automated baseline results confirmed by hand to cut false positives.
Risk-based prioritization
Deviations ranked by actual exploitability, not just checklist count.
Security testing
What we typically find Review
Default credentials
Vendor-default accounts still active on production systems.
Unnecessary services
Unused ports and services increasing attack surface for no operational benefit.
Weak logging & auditing
Insufficient audit trail configuration for incident investigation.
No scanner dump. A fixed problem.
Every finding is reproduced by hand and comes with a working proof of concept.
