Properly configured boundary and device firewalls protecting every internet connection.

Secure configuration

Hardened devices and software with unnecessary services and default passwords removed.

Patch management

Operating systems and software kept current, with critical updates inside 14 days.

Assessment & submission

We complete the self-assessment with you, evidence each control and submit for certification.
