What We Assess in OS Environments
User and Access Management
Privilege escalation and Superuser Do/Switch User misconfigurations, orphaned accounts, inactive users, group policy issues, credential storage weaknesses, and password policies.
System Hardening
Insecure default configurations and open ports, unnecessary services and daemons, and security baselines.
Patch and Package Management
Detection of unpatched OS components, vulnerable libraries, outdated packages, dependencies, auto-update, and rollback policies review.
Log & Audit Policies
Syslog or Event Viewer configuration audit, audit policy enforcement, log rotation, log tampering, and anomaly detection controls.
