    Config audit

    Security Configuration Audit

    We check how your servers, cloud accounts and network devices are set up, and list the settings that leave you exposed.

    Who it is for

    • Businesses that moved to the cloud quickly and have not reviewed the settings since
    • IT teams that want an outside check of their hardening work
    • Companies preparing for a customer security review or an audit

    Each one explained, with where it is and why it matters.

    Comparison with accepted guidance

    We use CIS Benchmarks and NIST guidance as reference points.

    A prioritised fix list

    What to change first, and what can wait.

    Frequently asked questions

    How long does a configuration audit take?

    It depends on the size of what we are looking at. We give you dates in the written quote before you commit.

    How much does it cost?

    Contact us for a quote. We price each engagement from its scope, and the quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

    Will you disrupt our systems or staff?

    We agree the rules of the engagement with you first, including when testing may happen and what must not be touched.

    Do you need admin access?

    Usually read-only access is enough. We agree the access and how it is removed afterwards.
