Infrastructure Security Mitigation

Infrastructure security should reduce real risk without stopping productivity. We use baselines, evidence, prioritisation, and controlled change to reduce the attack surface.

When this service is needed

• Internet-facing servers or applications lack a security baseline.
• Vulnerability findings have not been prioritised or remediated.
• Patching and hardening are inconsistent across servers.
• The business needs stronger protection for websites, APIs, and access.

Scope

• Asset, exposure, account, service, port, and dependency review.
• OS, SSH, firewall, web-server, TLS, and configuration hardening.
• Vulnerability assessment with risk-based prioritisation.
• Security patching with compatibility checks, backup, and rollback.
• Cloudflare DNS, TLS, WAF, rate limiting, bot, and origin protection.
• Evidence, risk registers, remediation tracking, and runbooks.

Security methodology

1. Scope and baseline: establish assets, access, exposure, and business function.
2. Assessment: collect evidence and validate conditions.
3. Prioritisation: evaluate likelihood, impact, effort, and dependencies.
4. Remediation: introduce change with backup, checkpoints, and rollback.
5. Verification: retest and retain closure evidence.
6. Handover: deliver risk registers, exceptions, and maintenance guidance.

Deliverables

• Baselines and validated findings.
• Risk ratings and a prioritised remediation plan.
• Change, exception, and rollback records.
• Retest evidence and control-maintenance guidance.

Intended outcomes

The attack surface is reduced, findings gain priority and ownership, and security controls can be maintained through documented processes.
