Infrastructure Security Hardening

Harden your servers, containers, and cloud accounts — CIS benchmarks, network segmentation, and access control review, with remediation included.

Overview

Security hardening isn't a single checklist item — it's servers configured against CIS benchmarks, containers that don't run as root, networks segmented so a compromised service can't reach everything else, and IAM permissions scoped to what's actually needed. I review all of it and fix what I find, not just report it.

What's Included

  • CIS benchmark compliance — server and container configuration checked against industry-standard hardening benchmarks
  • Network segmentation review — VPC/subnet design, security groups, and lateral-movement risk
  • Container image scanning — vulnerability scanning integrated into your build process, not a one-time check
  • IAM & access control audit — over-privileged roles, unused credentials, and missing MFA
  • Remediation implementation — findings get fixed as part of this engagement, not left as a to-do list

Our Process

  1. Scope & access — which systems, accounts, and networks are in scope for the review
  2. Assessment — hardening review across servers, containers, network, and IAM, benchmarked against CIS standards
  3. Remediation — fixes implemented directly, with critical findings addressed first
  4. Report & handover — a written summary of what was found, what was fixed, and what requires ongoing attention

Who This Is For

Teams preparing for a compliance audit (SOC 2, ISO 27001), teams that have never had a formal security review, or anyone who wants a second opinion after a near-miss incident.

FAQ

Is this a penetration test? No — this is a configuration and posture hardening engagement, not an offensive security assessment. If you need a pentest, I can point you to partners who specialize in that.

Will remediation cause downtime? Most hardening changes (IAM, network policy, config changes) are applied without downtime. Anything that does require a maintenance window is flagged and scheduled with you in advance.

Does this help with SOC 2 / ISO 27001 prep? Yes — this is commonly run as a pre-audit step to close gaps before a formal compliance assessment, alongside Disaster Recovery Planning for the operational-resilience side of most frameworks.
