What you get

Server hardening deliverables tailored to your environment

Every organisation in the US has a different mix of technologies, compliance needs and risk appetite. Our Server Hardening package is modular, so you receive exactly what your infrastructure requires – no unnecessary noise, and no critical gaps across your web and ecommerce platforms.

Core server hardening deliverables

OS‑level hardening for Linux and Windows servers following CIS and vendor best practices, tuned for web and application workloads.
Secure configuration of SSH, RDP and remote access, including key management and MFA integration where supported, reducing admin‑level risk.
Firewall and network rules review to limit exposure while preserving application performance and a smooth user experience on your websites.
User, group and role review with least‑privilege access policies and removal of unused accounts, including old vendor or agency logins.
Patch and update strategy for operating systems, runtimes and key services, aligned with maintenance windows and uptime expectations.
Logging, monitoring and alerting configuration to detect anomalies and suspicious activity before they impact customers or revenue.
Backup, restore and disaster‑recovery checks aligned with your RPO/RTO objectives so you can recover quickly from incidents.
Comprehensive hardening report and baseline documentation for future audits, client security reviews and internal teams.

Optional add‑ons for higher security maturity

Continuous configuration drift detection and remediation to keep servers aligned with your hardened baseline over time.
Vulnerability scanning and prioritised remediation plans, focused on issues that directly affect your web applications and data.
Hardening of container hosts, Kubernetes nodes and cluster control planes that support your modern web or ecommerce stacks.
Zero‑trust access patterns for administrators and third‑party vendors, tightening control over who can reach your servers and how.
Security reviews for deployment pipelines (CI/CD) and infrastructure‑as‑code templates to reduce misconfigurations before they reach production.
Periodic security posture reviews and executive‑level reporting for leadership teams in the US, tying technical hardening work to business risk and compliance.
All deliverables are adapted to your current maturity level. Whether you need a first secure baseline or want to evolve towards advanced, automated hardening across multiple environments, Stralya builds a roadmap that fits your reality, your pace and your digital growth plans.

Key benefits of Stralya’s Server Hardening for US organisations

Reduced attack surface
By disabling unnecessary services, tightening access and enforcing secure defaults, we significantly reduce the number of ways attackers can target your servers and web applications, including business‑critical ecommerce sites.
Improved stability and performance
Clean, well‑configured servers are easier to operate, monitor and scale. Many clients experience fewer incidents, smoother deployments and more predictable performance after hardening.
Audit‑ready documentation
You receive clear, structured documentation of applied controls and baselines, helping you respond to internal audits, client due‑diligence requests and US‑specific compliance requirements.
Trusted partnership, not one‑off fixes
We aim to become your long‑term web and infrastructure partner, maintaining and evolving your security posture as your digital projects, ecommerce operations and development roadmap grow.

How we secure your servers

A structured, auditable hardening process

Stralya follows a rigorous, repeatable process to harden your servers without disrupting your business. Every step is documented, tested and aligned with recognised security benchmarks such as CIS, NIST and cloud provider best practices, adapted to the realities of US‑based organisations running serious web and ecommerce platforms.

We start with an inventory of your servers, workloads and environments (cloud, hybrid or on‑premise). Together with your technical and business stakeholders, we identify critical assets, data sensitivity, uptime requirements and existing security controls. This allows us to define a fixed‑price scope focused on the areas that truly matter for your web applications and ecommerce stores.
We review current configurations, access control, patch levels, network exposure and logging. Using automated scans and manual reviews, we compare your servers against relevant benchmarks and compile a clear gap analysis highlighting misconfigurations, unnecessary services and priority risks that could impact your website performance or data protection.
We design a hardening blueprint for your environment: OS settings, firewall rules, IAM policies, encryption, backup and monitoring. For production systems, we prepare a detailed change plan with rollback procedures, maintenance windows and impact analysis so stakeholders know exactly what will change and when, including any risks to live web traffic or online revenue.
Our engineers apply the hardening measures in staged environments, starting with non‑production where possible. We validate that your applications remain fully functional, run security tests, and then roll out to production with strict change control. All changes are logged and traceable, giving you a clear audit trail for your server and web platform security posture.
You receive complete documentation: hardened baselines, applied controls, access policies and operational procedures. Where needed, we train your internal teams, external agencies or existing vendors to maintain the new standards and manage servers securely going forward.
For organisations that want a long‑term partner, we provide SLAs for continuous patching, configuration drift detection, vulnerability management and periodic hardening reviews – ensuring your servers, web applications and ecommerce platforms stay secure as your business evolves.

Server hardening is the process of reducing your attack surface by securely configuring operating systems, services, network access and permissions. In the US’s highly connected, cloud‑driven ecosystem, many organisations expose web applications, ecommerce sites and APIs to global traffic. A single misconfigured server can lead to data breaches, downtime and regulatory issues. Hardening ensures that only what is necessary is enabled, correctly configured and monitored, significantly lowering your risk.
We work across cloud‑native and traditional infrastructures: AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes clusters, container hosts, as well as on‑premise or hosted Linux and Windows servers. Many of our US clients operate hybrid environments that power everything from marketing websites to Shopify web development services; our approach is designed to bring consistency and control across all of them.
Where possible, we design the hardening plan to avoid or minimise downtime. For critical production systems, we schedule changes in maintenance windows, stage them through non‑production environments first, and include clear rollback procedures. Any expected impact on your websites or online stores is discussed and approved with you before implementation.
In line with Stralya’s project‑first model, we work on a fixed‑price basis for clearly defined scopes. After discovery and assessment, we estimate effort based on number and type of servers, environments, risk profile and required documentation. This gives you full visibility and avoids open‑ended “time and material” surprises while you invest in securing your web infrastructure.
Yes. A significant part of our work in the US involves “project rescue” – stabilising and securing infrastructures that were previously misconfigured or left incomplete. We start with a thorough audit, prioritise urgent risks, then progressively bring your servers under a hardened, documented baseline that better supports your digital, ecommerce and web development initiatives.
