FAQ’s
What is a configuration review?
A configuration review will provide you with detailed insight into the security configuration of your off-the-shelf appliances and software products, ensuring all security features are enabled and correctly configured.
Why do my IT systems need a configuration review?
Many off-the-shelf appliances and software products are not securely configured out-of-the-box. An audit of the system’s configuration will provide recommendations on how to best utilise the product’s security features.
Which systems should I review?
You should conduct configuration reviews of any off-the-shelf appliances and software products such as:
- Windows servers
- Windows desktops
- Linux servers
- Firewalls
- Network devices
- Database servers
- Web servers
We would recommend starting with any systems that contain sensitive information, for example servers or databases or systems that are externally facing such as firewalls. Additionally, any configuration that you plan to implement across multiple devices such as Windows desktop “Gold Builds” should also be reviewed by an independent third-party to validate that everything has been set up correctly and securely.
