Server Security & Monitoring

Locked Down. Watched Around the Clock.

Hardening, patching and continuous monitoring that stop most attacks, and a clear response plan for the ones that get through.

Fewer Ways In.

Every managed server gets a hardening pass during onboarding, and we keep it that way.

Access

  • SSH keys only, root login off
  • MFA on control panels
  • Brute-force blocking (CSF/LFD, fail2ban)
  • Least-privilege user accounts

System

  • Firewall with default deny
  • Unused services removed
  • Kernel and package patching
  • Secure PHP and web server settings

Monitoring

What We Watch, Every Minute.

  • Availability

    Services, ports, HTTP status and response times.

  • Resources

    CPU, memory, disk, inodes and I/O trends.

  • Logins

    Failed and unusual SSH and panel logins.

  • Malware

    Scheduled scans of web roots and uploads.

  • Network

    Unexpected open ports and outbound spikes.

  • Integrity

    Changes to system binaries and key config files.

Incident response

When Something Gets Through.

A practiced, five-step process, documented in your ticket from start to finish.

  1. 01

    Detect

    An alert or report reaches an engineer, who confirms what is happening.

  2. 02

    Contain

    Affected accounts, IPs or services are isolated to stop the spread.

  3. 03

    Investigate

    Logs and files are reviewed to find the entry point and impact.

  4. 04

    Recover

    Clean files or backups are restored and the hole is closed.

  5. 05

    Report

    You get a written summary of cause, actions and next steps.

Security Questions.

Short answers to what we are asked most. For anything specific, an engineer will reply directly.

Ask an Engineer
Will hardening break my applications?
We test changes and roll them out in stages, starting with the lowest-risk items. Anything that could affect your apps is agreed with you first.
How often are servers patched?
On an agreed schedule, usually weekly. Critical vulnerabilities that are being actively exploited are handled as urgent.
Do you run vulnerability scans?
Yes. Regular scans of packages and exposed services, with findings ranked by severity and fixed in order.
What if my server is already compromised?
Contact us straight away. We contain the incident, find how the attacker got in, clean or rebuild the server and harden it so it does not happen again.
Is this a replacement for a compliance audit?
No. It is ongoing operational security for your servers. We can support audits with evidence of patching, access control and monitoring.
