Step 1
Select Baselines
Select applicable requirements and configuration baselines based on technology type, vendor, version, deployment role, and regulatory obligations.
01
Identify insecure settings and configuration gaps that may weaken the security posture of deployed technologies and infrastructure.
02
Reveal security features that are disabled, partially configured, or not being used effectively.
03
Assess configurations against applicable cybersecurity requirements, security benchmarks, vendor guidance, and industry best practices.
Review security-related settings against applicable baselines and hardening recommendations, including security feature enablement, policies, rules, profiles, and associated parameters. The assessment identifies insecure settings, disabled or partially configured capabilities, and configuration practices that may reduce protection or create unnecessary exposure across security technologies, network devices, servers, and workstations.
Review security-related settings against applicable baselines and hardening recommendations, including security feature enablement, policies, rules, profiles, and associated parameters. The assessment identifies insecure settings, disabled or partially configured capabilities, and configuration practices that may reduce protection or create unnecessary exposure across security technologies, network devices, servers, and workstations.
Assess administrative authentication, authorization, privileged access, account security, and management access restrictions. The review also covers management interfaces, administrative protocols, encryption, certificates, secure communication settings, and deprecated or insecure protocols where applicable, helping identify configuration weaknesses that could affect protected access and secure communication across the technology environment.
Review security logging, audit settings, event forwarding, alerting, time synchronization, and monitoring configurations. Relevant integrations with centralized security capabilities, including SIEM, identity services, and authentication platforms, are reviewed from the perspective of the in-scope technology to identify configuration gaps that may limit visibility, monitoring effectiveness, or security information exchange.
Step 1
Select applicable requirements and configuration baselines based on technology type, vendor, version, deployment role, and regulatory obligations.
Step 2
Assess security settings, hardening, administrative access controls, enabled capabilities, policies, logging, and relevant integrations.
Step 3
Identify misconfigurations, insecure settings, underutilized capabilities, and configuration weaknesses requiring improvement.
Step 4
Develop practical, risk-prioritized recommendations to improve security configurations, strengthen hardening, and make more effective use of existing security capabilities.
Gain a detailed view of security and infrastructure configurations to identify weaknesses, insecure settings, and improvement opportunities.
Assess security technologies, network devices, servers, and workstations across complex enterprise environments.
Receive practical, risk-prioritized recommendations focused on stronger configuration, improved hardening, and more effective use of deployed security capabilities
