Windows Server environments often accumulate years of incremental change. Permissions expand, services are enabled for convenience, and legacy roles remain active long after their purpose has passed.
Our hardening process begins with understanding how a server is actually used. From there we reduce attack surface by tightening permissions, disabling unnecessary services, reviewing scheduled tasks, and enforcing sensible account controls.
The goal is not to lock systems down blindly, but to make them predictable, auditable, and resilient to misuse if credentials are compromised.
