/ what we deliver

Security Hardening Services

Every hardening engagement is built on CIS Benchmarks and shaped by what we actually see exploited in the field — not a generic checklist.

Post-Pentest Remediation

Post-Pentest Remediation

We turn a pentest report into an actioned fix. Whether it's our findings or another firm's, we implement and verify remediation, not just re-explain the risk.

Post-Incident Hardening Support

Post-Incident Hardening

Once an incident is contained, we close the specific gap the attacker used and the adjacent ones they'd try next, so the same playbook doesn't work twice.

Threat Hunting Rule Development

Threat Hunting Rule Development

Custom detection logic and hunting queries built for your SIEM or EDR, based on techniques we've seen used against organisations like yours.

SIEM Onboarding

SIEM Onboarding & Tuning

We connect the log sources that actually matter, map them to detection rules, and cut the noise — so your team sees real alerts, not a wall of false positives.

Windows Security Hardening

Windows Security Hardening

CIS Benchmark-aligned hardening for Windows Server and endpoints — credential protection, LSA hardening, attack surface reduction rules, and secure baselines.

Active Directory Security Hardening

Active Directory Hardening

We close the AD attack paths we see exploited most often — Kerberoasting exposure, ACL abuse, stale privileged accounts, and weak Tier 0 separation.

Network Hardening

Network Hardening

Segmentation review, firewall rule cleanup, and exposed-service reduction aligned to CIS network device benchmarks, limiting how far an attacker can move.

Cloud Hardening

Cloud Hardening

CIS Benchmark hardening for Azure, AWS, and GCP — secure baselines, encryption, logging, and Zero Trust access controls applied and verified.

/ why this matters

Ransomware Doesn't Need a Zero-Day

Almost every ransomware incident we're called in on started with something a hardening review would have caught.

90%
Exploited Unpatched Systems
Share of 2025 ransomware incidents that got in through unpatched software or a vulnerable account on a firewall.
44%
Of Breaches Involve Ransomware
Up from 32% the year before — ransomware is now present in nearly half of all confirmed breaches.
20%
Breaches via Exploited Vulnerabilities
Up 34% year-on-year, and closing in on stolen credentials as the top initial attack vector.
3 hours
Fastest Breach to Encryption
The fastest observed ransomware case in 2025 went from initial breach to full encryption in under three hours.
