Security Reviews & Hardening
Find and close the gaps before someone else does. We review applications and websites for common weaknesses, harden their configuration, and fix what we find in the code.
Most breaches come from ordinary problems: an unpatched plugin, a missing permission check, a secret in a config file, an admin page anyone can reach. We review for those systematically, fix them, and leave behind the practices that keep them from coming back. When a formal penetration test is required, we work alongside your testing provider and remediate the findings.
What we deliver
- Application security reviews informed by the OWASP Top 10
- Authentication, role-based access control, and least-privilege reviews
- Input validation, output encoding, and secrets handling
- Dependency, framework, and CMS plugin patching
- WordPress and CMS hardening, SSL/TLS, and security headers
- Malware cleanup and recovery for compromised websites
- Audit logging for sensitive records and administrative actions
Outreach case management system
Outreach staff work from a shared record of each client: intake interviews, check-ins, shelter eligibility, encampment locations, and a running history of interactions. Records about vulnerable people and their locations are protected with role-based access.
At a glance
- access to sensitive records
- Role-based
- data restricted to outreach staff
- Location
- of every interaction kept
- History
Our approach
Review the code, not just the perimeter
We read the access checks and data handling, where scanners cannot see.
Least privilege
Every role gets only the access it needs, and sensitive records get an audit trail.
Patch on a schedule
Updates are applied and tested routinely, not after an incident.
Where we have done this
- Role-based access for administrators, agency staff, partners, and the public on a multi-agency transportation program platform.
- Sensitive client records and location data in a case management system funded by a city police department.
- Website hardening, malware cleanup, and repair of compromised sites for clients over many years.
