Hardening & secure configuration

The settings that turn an ordinary server, app or cloud account into a hard target, applied carefully so work keeps flowing.

What this is.

Most breaches don't need a clever exploit. They need a default password, an old TLS version, an admin account without MFA, or a storage bucket left open. Hardening is the discipline of closing those doors.

I apply recognized baselines to your servers, applications and cloud accounts, verify each change, and document it so the next person keeps it that way.

What you get

  • Baseline review against recognized standards (CIS, vendor guidance)
  • Hardened configuration applied and verified, change by change
  • TLS, security headers and authentication settings fixed
  • Least-privilege access with MFA for administrators
  • Configuration documentation and drift checks

How it runs

  1. Baseline scan
  2. Prioritize changes by risk and disruption
  3. Apply and verify
  4. Document and schedule drift checks

A good fit if

  • Systems were set up quickly and never revisited
  • An assessment found configuration issues
  • You want a known-good standard to hold systems to

Try it: harden a server

Flip the settings and watch the grade change. Each toggle explains what it closes off, and what it might break if done carelessly.
