Infrastructure Security Audit

A full infrastructure security audit examines every layer of your hosting and operations stack — from server configuration and control panels to billing systems, email authentication and backup strategy. The goal is to identify misconfigurations, exposed services and operational gaps before they become incidents.

What Is Covered

We audit the complete infrastructure that supports your hosting business or web operations:

• Server configuration — OS hardening, SSH access, firewall rules, kernel parameters, running services
• Control panels — cPanel/WHM, Plesk or custom panels: configuration, isolation, exposed interfaces
• Billing and automation — WHMCS or equivalent: file permissions, database exposure, admin access, payment config
• Email infrastructure — Mail server configuration, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, open relay checks, reputation
• DNS — Zone configuration, nameserver security, DNSSEC status, record hygiene
• Backup strategy — Schedule, storage isolation, retention, encryption, restore readiness
• WordPress and web stack — PHP version and handler config, web server tuning, application-level exposure
• Exposed services — Port scans, unnecessary listeners, publicly reachable management interfaces
• Operational security — Admin access patterns, two-factor authentication, credential management, update status

Why You Need It

Infrastructure grows organically. Servers get provisioned, panels get configured, billing systems get installed — and over time, the configuration drifts from what is secure. An infrastructure audit gives you a clear, prioritized view of where your exposure is and what to fix first.

Common findings include:

• Default configurations left unchanged after initial setup
• Services listening on public interfaces that should be internal-only
• Missing or misconfigured email authentication records
• Backup systems that have never been tested for restore
• Outdated software with known vulnerabilities
• Weak access controls on admin panels and billing systems

What We Deliver

You receive a detailed audit report containing:

• Executive summary — high-level risk overview suitable for management or stakeholders
• Detailed findings — each issue documented with evidence, severity rating and remediation steps
• Prioritized action plan — ordered by risk and effort so you can address the most critical items first
• Configuration recommendations — specific, actionable guidance for each component reviewed
