Establish what is really there
Review the hosting estate as it operates: DNS, network exposure, web and runtime configuration, access paths, services, backups and the dependencies between them.
CAPABILITY / INDEPENDENT REVIEW
Audit the environment you depend on
Independent technical review of third-party hosting environments, verifying security, resilience and operational reality rather than relying on a supplier’s assurance.

ENGINEERING POSITION
A hosting environment is only dependable when its real behaviour has been independently examined
Verify the operating assumptions
Check whether access, patching, isolation, recovery, monitoring and security controls behave as documented, not merely whether they exist on paper.
Give decision-makers usable evidence
Translate technical findings into clear risk, consequence and priority, with practical remedial actions and the evidence behind each conclusion.
