Vulnerability Remediation, Access Control, Compliance Gaps
Systematic vulnerability scanning and prioritised remediation
Access control review and least-privilege enforcement
Compliance gap analysis (PCI-DSS, GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2)
Patch management automation and testing procedures
Security baseline configuration (CIS benchmarks)
Network segmentation and firewall rule optimisation
Secrets audit and elimination of hardcoded credentials
Security monitoring enhancement and alert tuning
Comprehensive vulnerability scanning using industry-leading tools identifies security gaps across your entire infrastructure stack. We prioritise remediation based on exploitability scores, business impact, and compliance requirements to ensure critical vulnerabilities are addressed first. Our systematic approach eliminates attack vectors before exploitation occurs whilst maintaining service stability through tested deployment procedures.

Security monitoring enhancement and alert tuning
Edmonds Commerce identified 47 critical vulnerabilities we didn't know existed. Within three weeks, our infrastructure was PCI-DSS compliant, all access was MFA-protected, and we had automated patching in place. Our security posture went from reactive to proactive.
Security Hardening Methodology
Risk-Based, Systematic Security Improvement
Assessment & Prioritisation
Full security audit identifying vulnerabilities, access control weaknesses, compliance gaps, and configuration drift across infrastructure, applications, databases, and network configuration. We prioritise remediation based on exploitability, business impact, compliance requirements, and effort to fix the most critical issues first.
Systematic Hardening
Implement security controls in phases: patch critical vulnerabilities, tighten access controls, close compliance gaps, harden system configurations, and enhance monitoring. Each change is tested before production deployment to ensure stability whilst eliminating security risks.
Validation & Monitoring
Re-scan to verify vulnerabilities are closed, test access controls, validate compliance, and establish continuous security monitoring. Automated alerting ensures you stay secure over time, not just at launch. Continuous monitoring detects configuration drift and new vulnerabilities as they emerge.

Security Hardening Benefits
Measurable Risk Reduction and Compliance
Vulnerability & Patch Management
60-80% vulnerability reduction
We scan your entire infrastructure stack, prioritise vulnerabilities by exploitability and business impact, then systematically close security gaps. Automated patch management with testing and rollback procedures ensures critical updates deploy within seven days whilst maintaining service stability.
Access Control & Authentication
Zero standing admin
Review every user, service account, API key, and permission. Enforce least-privilege principles, remove orphaned accounts, implement MFA, and audit access patterns. Zero standing privileges with continuous monitoring for anomalous behaviour.
Compliance & Baseline Hardening
60-180 days to audit-ready
Map your current state against regulatory requirements (PCI-DSS, GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2) and apply CIS Level 2 benchmarks. We close compliance gaps, implement security controls, and automate evidence collection. Infrastructure-as-code prevents configuration drift.
Network Segmentation & Monitoring
Isolated workloads
Implement Zero Trust micro-segmentation to limit blast radius. Separate production from non-production, isolate sensitive data, enforce egress controls, and establish continuous security monitoring with intelligent alert tuning to detect threats faster.
