Targeted hardening for a secure IT infrastructure
Your IT infrastructure is the heart of your business and your company depends on reliable and secure IT, but without adequate protection you remain vulnerable.
Without hardening, your data is also vulnerable to data theft. Hardening offers you a targeted way of securing your systems so that they are protected against attacks and vulnerabilities.
More security, less stress: why system hardening has your back
With the increasing complexity of the IT world, entrepreneurs often struggle with the chaos of security technologies. We offer you a sound solution that makes IT security more efficient and guarantees a reduction in the attack surface. Security hardening helps you to understand and control security technology - without constant overload or uncertainty about costs.
Vulnerabilities are a danger - don't let it come to that
Without hardening, vulnerabilities often remain undetected and pose a significant risk. The consequences range from financial losses due to cyber attacks to long downtimes.
The current state of IT security is not clearly and transparently assessed.
There are no clear responsibilities for IT security measures.
The security guidelines and configurations are not standardized
Four stages to the security of your IT: an overview of collaboration
Our hardening approach is based on detailed analysis, targeted implementation of security measures and continuous monitoring. In this way, we ensure that your IT meets current and future requirements while remaining efficient and secure.
If you decide to work with us, we will accompany you in clearly structured stages. We take over the management and responsibility so that you can concentrate on your day-to-day business.
Preparation & clarifications
In the first stage, we clarify the basic requirements and framework conditions for your IT security. We determine the current situation and discuss your specific security goals and priorities together so that the system hardening is optimally tailored to your needs.
Planning and catalog of measures
In the second stage, we draw up an individual catalog of measures that contains all the necessary security measures. We place particular emphasis on customized hardening solutions that effectively protect your IT infrastructure.
Implementation & commissioning
In the third stage, we implement the planned measures and put the systems into operation. We ensure that we implement and test all hardening components correctly in order to guarantee smooth operation.
Support and coaching
In the final stage, we offer ongoing support and coaching for your IT team. We support you with maintenance and ensure that your hardening measures are always up to date.
With our support for a stable and secure IT environment
Hardening offers your company a reduced attack surface, increased resilience and clarity about your security measures. Our solutions are traceable and give you back control over your IT security.
Analysis and planning
For your hardening, we start with an IT security audit and a comprehensive inventory. From this, we develop a customized concept that addresses your specific needs and assesses potential risks.
- IT security audit and inventory
- Risk assessment
- Concept development for hardening
Implementation of security measures
Based on the analysis, we implement specific security measures: System and server hardening, network protection, access controls and the application of secure configurations - always following proven best practices. Here are a few examples:
- System Hardening & Server Hardening
- Network hardening
- Secure configurations of applications
- Access controls and access management
- Safety guidelines for devices
- Hardening according to best practices
- Cloud hardening
Inspection and maintenance
To keep your IT secure, we carry out regular patch management, vulnerability scans and penetration tests. We ensure that vulnerabilities are identified and rectified before they can cause any damage.
- Patch management
- Vulnerability scans and penetration tests
- Logging and monitoring configuration
- Regular maintenance and hardening checks
Support and training
Our support is available to you at all times. We train your IT team and provide comprehensive documentation to ensure that your systems remain well protected in the future. Incident response planning and backup strategies give you additional security, while hardening methods secure your base.
- Training for IT teams
- Documentation
- Incident response planning
- Backup and rollback strategies

Frequently asked questions on this topic
What is server hardening?
Server hardening refers to a process in which security measures are taken to improve the resilience and security of a server. This includes securing the operating system, configuring firewalls, updating software and patches, conducting regular security audits and implementing access restrictions. Server hardening can minimize potential vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of cyberattacks.
How do you harden computer systems?
There are various measures to harden computer systems and protect them against cyber attacks. These include regular software updates and patches that close security gaps and protect the system from potential threats.
Equally important is the configuration of firewalls and intrusion detection systems that can monitor data traffic and detect suspicious activity. In addition, strong passwords and encryption technologies should be used to make access to sensitive data more difficult.
Regular security training for employees and the implementation of security guidelines can further reduce the risk of security incidents.
Why is IT hardening necessary?
IT hardening is necessary to protect systems from cyber attacks and minimize vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit. It reduces the attack surface, increases the stability and availability of systems and helps to meet compliance requirements. As a result, data loss, reputational damage and high follow-up costs can be avoided.
