Linux Server Audit & Security Hardening Report

I will audit your Linux server and deliver a comprehensive security and configuration report covering open ports, running services, user accounts and SSH configuration, file permissions, installed packages and outdated software, firewall rules, sudo configuration, PAM settings, log rotation, and compliance with CIS Linux Benchmark recommendations — with prioritised remediation guidance for every finding. A Linux server connected to the internet with default configuration is under active automated attack within minutes of provisioning; the specific hardening steps that prevent the vast majority of successful intrusions are consistently not applied on servers set up without security-specific expertise.

The audit report categorises findings as Critical, High, Medium, and Informational — giving your team a clear, prioritised action list rather than an overwhelming catalogue of every possible improvement. Each finding includes the specific command or configuration change required to remediate it. A hardened configuration script is provided for any automated remediation steps that can be safely scripted.

This service is ideal for businesses running production Linux servers that have never had a formal security audit, teams preparing for ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials certification, and developers who set up their own servers and want expert verification that the security baseline meets production standards.
