Configuration Audits
Security misconfigurations remain one of the most common causes of breaches. Even well-patched systems can be exposed by weak settings, disabled controls, or excessive permissions. Our Configuration Audits evaluate servers, operating systems, databases, cloud services, and security policies against industry benchmarks such as CIS, NIST, and ISO 27001. We identify deviations, prioritize risk, and provide clear remediation steps to harden your environment.
