Secure Configuration Review

In the complex landscape of cyber security, securing system configurations is essential to protecting your organization’s digital assets. Our Secure Configuration Review service delivers a comprehensive assessment of your IT infrastructure’s settings, identifying vulnerabilities and optimizing configurations to enhance your security posture.

What is Secure Configuration Assessment?

Secure configuration review is an evaluation process whereby the safety settings in computer systems, networks, and applications are checked for vulnerabilities that an adversary may exploit. Such a review requires detailed inspection of configuration files, security policies, and other system settings to ascertain conformance with best practices and industry standards.


The processes will reduce risks related to data breaches, unauthorized access, and many other security incidents of an organization when they conduct regular reviews of their secure configurations.


Secure Configuration Review Process:

  • Identify Systems and Applications: Determine the systems and applications that need to be reviewed.
  • Gather Baseline Configurations: Collect the current configuration settings for each system or application.
  • Compare to CIS Benchmarks: Compare the baseline configurations to the relevant CIS benchmarks.
  • Identify Vulnerabilities: Identify any deviations from the recommended security controls.
  • Prioritize Vulnerabilities: Assess the risk associated with each vulnerability and prioritize them for remediation.
  • Implement Remediation Measures: Develop and implement remediation plans to address identified vulnerabilities.
  • Re-assess and Monitor: Conduct regular reassessments to ensure that security controls remain effective and monitor for new vulnerabilities.
Key Challenges Addressed

Organizations often face several challenges related to system configurations, including: 

  • Emerging Threats and Zero-Day Vulnerabilities: New vulnerabilities and attack techniques can surface regularly, potentially exploiting previously unknown weaknesses.
  • Configuration Drift: Over time, intentional or accidental changes can cause configurations to deviate from their secure state, reintroducing risks.
  • Integration Challenges: Introducing new applications or updates can create new vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that were not covered during the initial review.
  • Complexity of Modern Environments: The intricacy of modern IT environments, including cloud and IoT devices, complicates the maintenance of consistently secure configurations.
  • Human Error and Misconfiguration: Manual errors during system administration can introduce security flaws, compromising previously secure configurations.
  • Inadequate Monitoring and Response: Lack of continuous monitoring and response mechanisms can delay the detection and mitigation of new vulnerabilities.
  • Compliance and Regulatory Changes: Evolving regulatory requirements can affect the relevance of established configurations, necessitating ongoing adjustments.
