Server Security Testing
Testing whether your servers are hardened, patched and access controlled well enough to resist an attacker.
What is server security testing?
Server security testing checks whether your servers are configured to resist attack in practice. Servers often hold critical data and services, so the goal is to validate that hardening, patching and access controls actually hold up, rather than confirming they are present on paper.
What we test
- Hardening: whether unnecessary features, services and default settings have been removed or locked down.
- Patching: whether operating systems and software are up to date and free of known exploitable flaws.
- Exposed services: whether services are reachable that should not be, and whether they are secured.
- Access control: whether authentication, privilege and account controls limit what an attacker could do.
- Configuration weaknesses: whether misconfigurations could be chained into a compromise.
Who needs it
Organisations running on-premise or cloud-hosted servers, particularly those supporting business-critical applications or holding sensitive data, and any business wanting assurance their server controls work.
What the process looks like
We scope the engagement with you and agree which servers are in scope and how testing will be carried out. We then assess the servers from an attacker’s perspective and confirm how the controls respond. You receive a clear report with findings and prioritised remediation.
