Rigorous Security Hardening & Vulnerability Remediation.
Systematic configuration reviews and attack-surface reduction for servers, endpoints, and web applications. We audit policies, enforce MFA, clean up access controls, and deliver a prioritized written remediation report.
What's Included in Security Hardening
Exhaustive attack-surface review across servers, directories, endpoints, and external services.
Server & OS Hardening
Disabling unnecessary services and daemons, closing exposed ports, enforcing SSH key-only access with disabled root login, and applying baseline security benchmarks across Linux and Windows servers.
Identity, IAM & MFA Enforcement
Active Directory and cloud IAM role hierarchy review, elimination of dormant and over-privileged accounts, least-privilege credential separation, and universal multi-factor authentication (MFA) rollout.
Endpoint Configuration & Policy Audit
Workstation security baseline configuration, full-disk encryption verification (BitLocker/FileVault), central patch orchestration, and endpoint protection verification.
Web Application & Network Exposure Audit
Inspection of public-facing web applications, administrative panels, default vendor credentials, exposed diagnostic endpoints, and perimeter firewall ingress rule verification.
Systematic Patching & CVE Analysis
Deep-dive vulnerability scanning across system packages, runtimes, and dependencies to detect unpatched CVEs, deprecated protocols, and weak cryptographic cipher suites.
Written Remediation Report
Comprehensive executive summary and technical remediation roadmap detailing every finding with CVSS risk scoring, immediate containment steps, and exact terminal commands to resolve.
Our Hardening Process
A disciplined, 5-stage pipeline from non-destructive discovery through verified vulnerability closure.
Plan
Scoping workshop, asset inventory discovery, risk tiering, and non-destructive inspection boundary definition.
Build
Deep configuration audit across server OS baselines, directory access controls, endpoint settings, and exposed services.
Connect
Collaborative technical review with your internal IT team; establishing prioritized remediation milestones and emergency mitigations.
Verify
Post-remediation re-testing and validation scans to confirm vulnerabilities are closed without breaking production workflows.
Operate
Delivery of the signed Remediation Report, ongoing hardening maintenance checklist, and recommended recurring audit schedule.
Security Hardening FAQ
Important details on operational impact, compliance scope, and deliverables.
Will the security hardening audit cause disruption to our active business operations?
No. All initial audits, vulnerability scans, and configuration inspections are non-destructive and performed without disrupting running production services. Any recommended configuration adjustments requiring service restarts are scheduled during approved maintenance windows.
What deliverables do we receive at the conclusion of the hardening audit?
You receive an executive summary for management, a comprehensive technical remediation report categorizing all findings by CVSS risk level (Critical, High, Medium, Low), exact remediation commands, and an ongoing security baseline checklist.
Can Xoyan assist in applying the fixes, or do we implement them in-house?
We support both workflows: your internal team can implement the fixes using our step-by-step technical remediation report, or Xoyan engineers can execute and verify the remediation under our Plan 1 Managed Protection engagement.
