Systematically validate every network device, application setting, and infrastructure component against CIS, NIST, and DISA STIG frameworks — powered by AI-assisted benchmark analysis.
Misconfiguration is the leading cause of security breaches in modern organisations — accounting for the majority of cloud incidents and a significant share of on-premise compromises. A single overly permissive firewall rule, a default credential left unchanged, or an unneeded service left running can hand an attacker a foothold inside your network.
Cyber Security Seva's Configuration Review service performs a systematic, AI-assisted audit of your firewalls, routers, switches, web servers, databases, and middleware — benchmarking every rule and parameter against CIS Controls, NIST SP 800-53, and DISA STIGs simultaneously.
The outcome is a prioritised remediation playbook — not a raw dump of scanner output — that your team can execute immediately to close configuration gaps.
Comprehensive coverage across every technology layer where misconfiguration creates risk.
In-depth review of firewall policies across Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Check Point — identifying any-any rules, unused rules, shadow rules, and overly broad network access permissions that expand your attack surface.
Assessment of routing protocols, VLAN segmentation, spanning tree settings, management plane access, and unused interface configurations against CIS and vendor hardening guides.
Security review of Apache, Nginx, and IIS — covering unnecessary modules, default pages, TLS/SSL configuration, HTTP security headers, directory traversal settings, and access control lists.
Audit of MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL configurations — examining default credentials, excessive user privileges, stored procedure risks, audit logging gaps, and encryption enforcement.
Configuration review of application servers (Tomcat, JBoss, WebLogic, IIS) and middleware — checking management consoles, default credentials, deployed sample applications, and TLS settings.
Assessment of VPN concentrators, authentication mechanisms, split tunnelling policies, and remote access configurations to ensure secure and least-privilege remote connectivity.
A structured, non-disruptive methodology that requires only configuration exports — no agent installation or production access required.
We work with your team to define in-scope devices and collect configuration exports via secure, read-only methods — no direct production system access is required for most review scenarios.
Our AI engine parses collected configurations and simultaneously maps every setting against CIS Benchmarks, NIST SP 800-53 controls, and applicable DISA STIGs — producing a gap matrix within hours.
Our security engineers perform manual analysis of complex areas — firewall rule logic, inter-device trust relationships, and context-specific exceptions — that automated tools cannot interpret correctly.
Every finding is rated by severity and business impact. The report includes the exact configuration change required, the security rationale, and the applicable framework control reference — making remediation straightforward.
Beyond the findings report, you receive a prioritised remediation playbook — a step-by-step action plan ordered by risk severity, so your team knows exactly what to fix first and how to fix it.
Every review is mapped to globally recognised security benchmarks so findings are audit-ready.
Our AI maps your configurations against CIS, NIST, and DISA STIGs in a single pass — eliminating the need for separate assessments and giving you a unified compliance picture.
We identify firewall rules that are hidden behind higher-priority rules, creating a false sense of security — a subtle but critical class of misconfiguration that manual reviews frequently miss.
No raw scanner dumps. Every finding is prioritised by risk and accompanied by the exact configuration change needed — making it easy for your team to act without ambiguity.
Configuration reviews are conducted entirely on exported config files — no agents, no direct production system access, and no risk of service disruption during the assessment.
