Security review & simplification

Remove the attack surface before buying more security.

We review the exposed services, software, dependencies, access points and hosting architecture, then reduce what is exposed. Fewer moving parts is a security measure, and it is usually the cheapest one available.

Security through simplification

If something does not need to be publicly accessible, it should not be. If a service is no longer required, removing it can reduce both maintenance and exposure.

The review begins with operational controls that can be verified directly: exposed administration surfaces, unsupported dependencies, unused integrations, dormant accounts and the recovery path if a component fails.

What gets looked at

  • What is exposed

    Which services answer from the public internet, and which of them need to.

  • Software and dependencies

    What is installed, what version it is on, and what is no longer maintained upstream.

  • Access and accounts

    Who can reach what, which credentials are shared, and what still works for people who left.

  • Hosting architecture

    How the pieces are separated, and what one compromised component would reach.

  • Backups you have tested

    An untested backup is a belief, not a control.

  • What to remove first

    Ranked by exposure removed against effort — not a list of products to buy.

What this is, and what it isn't

This is an architecture and exposure review with portable written findings. We can scope remediation separately, or you can give the plan to another supplier.

  • A review and a plan

    Each finding records the affected system, observed condition, consequence, recommendation and priority.

  • Not a penetration test

    The review does not claim exploit testing or certification. Where that is required, the plan says so explicitly.

  • Not incident response

    This is planned review work, not a 24-hour emergency service for an active compromise.

Scope and handover

Do you need administrator access?

Some findings can be established externally. Configuration, account, dependency and backup checks require agreed read-only or administrative access, recorded before the review begins.

Will you attempt to break into the site?

No. This service does not include exploitation, social engineering or denial-of-service testing. Those require a separately authorised specialist scope.

Can our existing developer use the findings?

Yes. The report is written for handover and does not depend on Netcraft performing the remediation.

What happens to urgent findings?

A finding that presents immediate material exposure is reported when confirmed rather than held until the final report. Remediation still requires your approval and an agreed scope.
