Even the most secure architecture can be weakened by improper or inconsistent configurations. The Configuration Review service assesses the setup of your systems, servers, containers, and databases against recognised hardening standards. It identifies insecure defaults, weak parameters, and deviations from best practices that could be leveraged by attackers. The objective is to ensure that each component of your infrastructure is configured securely and consistently.

Configuration data can be collected either through our extraction scripts or via read-only access for manual verification.
Comparison of configurations against CIS, NIST, and vendor benchmarks, combined with manual contextual validation.
Comprehensive report with findings, risk ratings, and remediation recommendations presented during a restitution meeting.
Ensure that all identified vulnerabilities are properly fixed without introducing new risks.
The duration depends on the scope. A small review (2–3 systems) typically takes 3–5 days, medium (up to 5 systems) 5–7 days, and large or complex environments 7–10 days including analysis, validation, and reporting.
Because most breaches start with misconfigurations, not zero-days. A configuration review identifies weak system parameters and insecure defaults, ensuring your environment is hardened and resistant to privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exposure.
We provide secure extraction scripts your administrators can run, or we can perform manual verification via read-only access, both methods preserve integrity and minimize impact.
The architecture audit focuses on design choices and systemic risks, while the configuration audit examines actual deployed parameters and system-level security.
