Security Baseline
What is Security Baseline?
A security baseline is a set of minimum security configurations and controls that every device and system in your environment must meet. It establishes a consistent standard so there are no weak links across your technology environment.
Why it matters
Attackers look for the easiest path in. A single misconfigured device or a system with weak settings can be enough. A documented, enforced baseline ensures no device falls below an acceptable security threshold.
How we implement it
We assess your current environment against a baseline built from the CIS Benchmarks, the consensus hardening standards published for each platform we manage, and organized under the NIST Cybersecurity Framework so every control has a place in the wider program. The baseline is then tuned to your industry and risk level. Gaps are identified and remediated, and ongoing monitoring ensures new devices and systems meet the standard automatically.
What your organization gets
Consistent Standards
Every device across your organization meets the same security threshold.
Fewer Gaps
Eliminate the weak configurations that attackers look for.
Audit Support
A documented baseline demonstrates security diligence to auditors and insurers.
Scalable
New devices automatically conform to your security standard when they're deployed.
Common questions
Is this your own standard, or an industry one?
Both! It starts from the CIS Benchmarks, the consensus hardening standards for each platform, structured under the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and is then adjusted for your industry, your insurer's requirements, and how your team actually works.
Does every computer end up locked down identically?
The baseline is a floor, not a uniform. Every device meets the same minimum, and roles that genuinely need more latitude, like a designer running heavy software, get it deliberately rather than by accident. The point is that nothing falls below the line, not that everyone works the same way.
Does the baseline ever change?
Continuously. As threats and requirements evolve, we update the standard and roll it out everywhere at once. Your environment tracks current best practice without anyone chasing it manually.
What if our environment does not meet the baseline today?
That is the normal starting point. We document the gaps, close the ones carrying real risk first, and you can watch the distance shrink instead of guessing at it.
