Hardening advice
Practical steps to make your systems, networks, accounts and organisation harder to attack — prioritised, so you know where to start.
Most successful attacks exploit ordinary weaknesses: reused passwords, missing updates, accounts nobody remembered to close, servers left on default settings. Hardening closes these gaps. We review how your organisation is set up and give you a clear, prioritised plan to fix it.
What we review
- Systems — laptops, phones and servers: updates, encryption, configuration, unnecessary services.
- Networks — routers, firewalls, Wi-Fi and remote access.
- Accounts — passwords, two-factor authentication, admin rights, and accounts belonging to people who have left.
- Your organisation — who has access to what, how staff handle sensitive data, what happens when a device is lost or an account is compromised.
What you get
- A written review of where you stand today.
- A prioritised action plan, starting with the changes that reduce the most risk for the least effort.
- Hands-on help applying the changes, if you want it.
Hardening pairs well with a penetration test: the test shows where you are exposed, and hardening fixes it at the root.
