Security hardening review

Audit of how credentials, secrets, and access are handled and where the attack surface lies — delivered as a whitepaper with a hardening plan and an honest accepted-risk register.

What we build

A structured audit of your security posture: how credentials and secrets are handled, who can access what, and where the attack surface lies. Delivered as a whitepaper with prioritized findings, a hardening plan, and an honest accepted-risk register — well suited to compliance audits and due diligence. This is a design and configuration review, not penetration testing. If you want the fixes made rather than a report, choose security hardening implementation.

What you get

• A security review whitepaper with a severity per finding
• An accepted-risk register with a named owner per accepted risk
• A hardening plan listing each change, its priority and its effort
• A secrets-handling report naming, per secret, where it lives, who can read it and its rotation interval

How the work unfolds

1. Build the threat model
2. Audit authentication, secrets and data access
3. Review input handling and abuse paths against the design
4. Write the security whitepaper with prioritised findings
5. Map findings to the compliance framework

What shapes the price

Before you see a number, our scoping conversation asks:

• Is this review for a specific audit or customer questionnaire — SOC 2, ISO 27001, a due-diligence pack? Mapping findings onto a named framework is materially more work than a plain review.

How an engagement starts

Teams often combine it with:

• Architecture design review
• Networking design review
• Security hardening implementation
