What is a server security analysis?
It is a thorough examination of your Windows or Linux server: operating system hardening, firewall and network configuration, accounts and access, running services, logging, and malware. You get a risk-rated report of every issue and how to fix it.
Do you cover both Windows and Linux servers?
Yes. We assess and harden both Windows Server and Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, and CentOS/Rocky, using the right benchmarks and tooling for each platform.
Do you just report problems, or can you fix them?
Both options exist. The assessment tier delivers the report; the full tier means we apply the hardening, tune the firewall, improve access controls, set up monitoring, and run a verification scan afterwards.
Will the analysis disrupt our live servers?
The assessment is non-intrusive and safe to run on production. For hardening, we agree a change window and approach with you first, and make changes carefully so services stay available.
Is this a penetration test?
It is a configuration and hardening analysis rather than an external penetration test. We look at the server from the inside, its settings, exposure, and weaknesses, and fix what makes it attackable. We can advise if a separate pen test is also worthwhile.
What do you need from us to start?
The operating systems, the number of servers, what they host, and any current security measures are enough to scope it. For the work itself we will arrange secure access with you.
How do you handle our access and data securely?
We work over secure, least-privilege access, handle credentials carefully, and can sign an NDA before any details are shared. Findings are delivered privately to you, never disclosed elsewhere.
How long does it take?
It depends on the number and complexity of your servers. After an initial scoping conversation we give you a clear timeline, with hardening scheduled separately around your change windows.
What happens after you harden the server?
The full tier includes a verification scan 30 days after implementation to confirm the changes held and nothing regressed. Beyond that, we offer ongoing monitoring and periodic reviews on request.
Can you set up monitoring and intrusion detection?
Yes. As part of the full tier we configure logging, alerting, and basic intrusion detection so suspicious activity is caught early rather than discovered after the fact.
Will we get something we can show auditors or clients?
Yes. The report documents what was checked, the risk ratings, and the remediation, which is useful evidence for due diligence, insurers, and your own customers.
How does the quote process work?
Tell us about your servers and pick the option that fits. We review it and send you a tailored, fixed-scope quote, usually within one business day. It is free and there is no obligation.
