Your servers hardened, and kept that way
We harden your Linux and Windows servers to recognised standards (CIS, ANSSI): SSH, firewall, auditd, patching, accounts, services, the Docker daemon. We capture a baseline, then monitor drift — so hardening isn’t a one-shot that’s quickly forgotten. A fixed fee per server, with no hourly billing.
You leave with a clear before/after report you can use as proof of compliance for an audit or your cyber insurance.
Who it’s for
- Organisations with exposed servers — web, app, VPN: you want to reduce the attack surface before it’s tested for you.
- Teams preparing an audit or cyber insurance — you need a documented baseline and a presentable compliance report.
- Teams wanting the baseline to hold — not hardening forgotten in six months, but drift monitored month after month.
The hardening pass, item by item
Every server goes through the same CIS-inspired checklist. Nothing is left to chance, and every accepted deviation is documented.
- SSH hardened: keys only, root disabled, algorithms filtered
- nftables firewall: default deny, open ports justified
- auditd + tlog logging of privileged sessions
- fail2ban / CrowdSec against brute-force and scans
- sysctl / kernel: network & memory hardening
- Account, sudo and SUID binary review
- Service minimisation: nothing listening without reason
- Docker daemon & container hardeningpro
