Security Configuration Review

Security Configuration Review Services

Misconfigurations are a top contributor to today’s cyber compromises. At Paralok, our Security Configuration Review Services assist organizations in identifying and remedying insecure system, network, cloud, and application configurations before they become issues. We bring your IT infrastructure into alignment with best practices, regulatory guidelines, and worldwide hardening standards like CIS Benchmarks, NIST, and ISO 27001.

Our security engineers, auditors, and compliance experts offer a holistic evaluation of your entire ecosystem—from servers and endpoints to Active Directory, cloud, databases, and containers.

Our Core Configuration Review Services

Operating System Hardening: We review your Linux, Windows, and macOS environments for secure settings, unused services, incorrect file permissions, and default credentials. Hardened OS builds minimize the risk of malware, privilege escalation, and unauthorized access.

Network Device Configuration Review: Our specialists audit routers, switches, and VPN devices to confirm secure configurations. We check ACLs, routing protocols, SNMP settings, firmware levels, and disable insecure access protocols such as Telnet.

Firewall & Perimeter Security Review: We review firewall policies, NAT settings, security zones, and DMZ segmentation. Our audit discovers excessively permissive policies, redundant access, and logging gaps that can leave your perimeter vulnerable to attackers.

Cloud Security Configuration Assessment: Cloud misconfigurations can result in data exposure and compliance failure. We examine your AWS, Azure, and GCP settings—IAM policies, S3 bucket permissions, security groups, encryption, and audit logs—to ensure they are CIS Cloud Benchmarks compliant.

Database Security Configuration Audit: Our experts check SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other databases for secure access controls, user roles, default settings, and encryption. We also examine backup policies, logging, and patching to safeguard key data.

Application & Web Server Configuration Audit: We conduct thorough audits of IIS, Apache, NGINX, Tomcat, and other web servers. Our scans cover HTTP headers, SSL/TLS settings, file directory exposure, session security, and server fingerprinting prevention.

Active Directory & Domain Controller Audit: We analyze your AD environment for weak GPOs, password policies, account lockout policy settings, privileged user administration, and trust relationships. Securely configured domain controllers block lateral movement and identity-based attacks.

Endpoint Security Configuration Review: Endpoints are a main attack vector. We review endpoint protection configurations, antivirus/EDR policies, USB controls, disk encryption (e.g., BitLocker), local admin rights, and patching policies to reduce exploitation risks.

SIEM & Logging Infrastructure Review: Accurate logging is most critical to timely threat detection. We test your SIEM settings, log source integration, retention policy, alert rules, and time synchronization across mission-critical assets. We ensure secure storage of logs and indexing for compliance.

Virtualization & Container Security Configuration: We examine hypervisor platforms (VMware, Hyper-V), Docker containers, and Kubernetes clusters for secure defaults, access policy, image security, secrets management, and namespace isolation. We also measure runtime protection and adherence to container hardening benchmarks.
