Hardening

Close what the review opened.

The remediation half. Secrets out of the repository and into a manager, least-privilege roles instead of one admin key everybody shares, sensible session handling, security headers, and a dependency process that does not break a Friday afternoon.

You are probably here because

  • You have a report full of findings and no time allocated to fix them.
  • One admin key is shared by everyone who has ever worked here.
  • Dependency updates are postponed because the last one broke production.

If none of that sounds like you, this probably is not the service you need, and we would rather say so.

What it does for you

Hardening helps you:

  • Reduce risk

    Naming what can go wrong in week one costs far less than finding out in month six.

  • Keep your users' trust

    The breach you avoid is the one nobody writes about.

  • Build with confidence

    Typed, tested code your own engineers can extend without bracing for impact.

  • Keep your engineers

    Hand over a codebase people want to work in, not one they route around.

How it runs

Four phases, no dark period.

each rung holds the one above

Hardening is ordered by exposure. Secrets and access come before configuration, and process comes last, so every layer rests on a floor that already holds.
  1. 01

    Triage

    The backlog put in order of real risk, not report severity. Some criticals are unreachable; some mediums are the way in.

  2. 02

    Secrets and access

    Credentials out of the repository, least-privilege roles, access that can be reviewed and revoked.

  3. 03

    Configuration

    Sessions, headers, transport, storage and the cloud settings underneath, each change reviewed and deployed.

  4. 04

    Process

    A dependency and patch routine your team can keep running without us.

Shape

Deliverables

What actually lands.

Concrete things, in your accounts and your repository, that keep working after we have gone.

  • Secrets out of the repository
  • Least-privilege access, reviewed
  • A dependency process that holds
  • Hardened configuration, documented

Before you commit

The questions we get asked.

Can you fix things without stopping our roadmap?
That is the normal arrangement. We work the backlog alongside your delivery rather than freezing it.
Do we need the review first?
Not necessarily. If you already have findings from anyone, we can start from those.
Will you teach our team?
Yes. Anything we fix once, we write down so it is not fixed again.

Not quite what you need?

These sit closest to it. If none of them fit either, say so and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people.

Next step

Tell us what you're building.

A few lines is enough. What it is, who it's for, when you need it live. Or put half an hour in the calendar and talk it through instead.
