TLS & certificate lifecycle
Chain validation, renewal automation hooks, and HSTS rollout staged to avoid lock-out mistakes.
We help business clients tighten the full stack: browser-facing controls for websites and PWAs, sane session and API patterns, and web-server configuration that supports patching, monitoring, and recovery — without drowning your team in buzzwords.
Most breaches exploit predictable gaps: missing headers, weak TLS chains, stale dependencies, permissive cookies, or servers nobody patched because change control was unclear. We prioritise fixes by likelihood and impact for your business, then leave you with documentation your IT partner or internal team can maintain.
We combine secure-by-design web patterns with server and edge configuration that supports them: HTTPS everywhere it should apply, strict transport where appropriate, content policies that do not break legitimate marketing embeds, and service worker / caching rules that do not accidentally cache authenticated responses.
Dynamic pages and installable PWAs amplify classic web risks if caching, storage, and cross-origin calls are not thought through. We review templates, admin routes, API usage, and worker strategies so sensitive data does not leak into long-lived caches or predictable URLs.
TLS versions and ciphers, OCSP stapling, sensible timeouts, rate limits, and separation between admin and public vhosts all matter. We document what changed, why, and how to roll back — so maintenance windows do not become guesswork.
Chain validation, renewal automation hooks, and HSTS rollout staged to avoid lock-out mistakes.
Origin and CDN alignment so security headers are not stripped or duplicated unpredictably.
IP allow lists, VPN integration points, or path isolation where policy allows — with trade-offs spelled out.
OS and runtime updates, Composer/npm audit triage, and sensible SLAs for critical CVEs.
Encrypted off-site copies, RPO/RTO targets, and periodic restore tests — not shelf-ware.
Access and error logs, rotation, and forwarding hooks compatible with your SIEM or MSP.
We align discovery with your hosting model, change windows, and who owns DNS, TLS, and the CMS — so recommendations land in the right runbooks.
We begin by mapping who controls DNS, certificates, the CDN or WAF, the application codebase, and the host OS — because the best CSP in the world fails if an upstream proxy strips it. Findings are tied to routes, environments, and roles so developers, agencies, and infrastructure partners each know their queue.
Remediation is staged to limit blast radius: headers and TLS before invasive app refactors where sensible, with staging verification and documented rollback. After sign-off you receive evidence packs, configuration snippets, and a cadence for re-testing when dependencies or browsers move — so scope, assessment, remediation, verification, and ongoing hygiene stay visible from kick-off through steady-state operations.
Deliverables are tailored to engagement depth; this is a typical baseline for web + server hardening work.
Share your domains, hosting stack, and any compliance drivers. We will propose a proportionate assessment — clear scope, honest trade-offs, and outputs your team can run with.
