Security Hardening

Security hardening for your applications, servers and SaaS

Most incidents come from ordinary mistakes, not exotic attacks. I review and harden the parts that matter, from application code to server configuration, so your systems are harder to attack and quicker to recover if something goes wrong.

What security hardening covers

Application security aligned with the OWASP Top 10: input validation, protection against injection and cross-site scripting, sensible session handling, secure headers and a content security policy, plus rate limiting to blunt abuse and spam.

Server hardening: least-privilege access, key-based authentication, a tightened reverse proxy, closed-off admin surfaces, and configuration that does not leak more than it should.

Reduce risk, and prove you did

A review that produces prioritised findings, from critical to low, each with the problem, the business risk and a concrete fix. Remediation first, not a scary report you cannot act on.

Changes are documented, so you know what was hardened and why. Security you can show a client or an auditor, not security theatre.

Resilience and recovery

Security is not only about keeping people out. Encrypted backups and tested restore procedures mean that if the worst happens, whether an attack, a mistake or a hardware failure, you can get back to a known-good state.

Who this is for

Businesses handling customer data, SaaS products heading to production, and anyone who inherited a system and is not sure it is safe.

Frequently asked questions

What does a security review include?

A review of application and server configuration against common risks such as the OWASP Top 10, with prioritised findings from critical to low, each with a concrete fix.

How long does it take?

A focused review is usually days, not weeks. Remediation depends on what is found and is prioritised so the important issues are fixed first.

Can you guarantee we will not be breached?

No one honestly can. The goal is to reduce risk meaningfully and make recovery reliable, not to promise perfect security.

Do you also fix what you find?

Yes. This is remediation-first: findings come with fixes, and changes are documented so you can show a client or an auditor.
