Server Hardening
& Cloud Security.

Services

Default configurations are the first attack vector. At Primitive, we harden your servers and systems by applying industry best practices and security benchmarks (CIS, NIST) to drastically reduce your exposure surface.

Process

Phase _ 01

Current Diagnosis

Evaluation of the current configuration status against security standards (CIS Benchmarks).

Phase _ 02

Hardening Plan

Design of a secure configuration adapted to your business functionality to avoid affecting operability.

Phase _ 03

Implementation

Application of controls: port closing, minimum permissions, encryption, and disabling unnecessary services.

Phase _ 04

Monitoring

Verification that the system remains operational and secure. Delivery of documentation for the new configuration.

Hardening Process

Security is not a product, it's a configuration.

Most successful attacks exploit simple configuration flaws or unnecessary services enabled by default. Our hardening service transforms your systems into digital fortresses, eliminating attack vectors and ensuring that every component complies with the principle of "least privilege".

Key Benefits

Radically minimizes the available attack surface for hackers.

Compliance with robust standards like CIS Benchmarks and NIST.

FAQ

Server Hardening FAQs

Patching corrects known software errors. Hardening goes further: it changes the default configuration to make the system more resistant, even if the software has unknown vulnerabilities (0-days). Both are necessary.

If applied without control, yes. That's why at Primitive we first perform a diagnosis and apply changes in a testing environment (staging) before moving to production, ensuring that functionality is not affected.

You receive an optimized and secure environment, along with a technical report of the changes made ('before & after') and a maintenance guide to maintain the security level in the future.

Hardening should be reviewed whenever new infrastructure or significant architectural changes are introduced. Additionally, we recommend an annual periodic review to adapt to new threats.
