LinuxGuard Platform Hardening Service

Harden Linux access and enforce least privilege with a repeatable, audit-ready model

Harden Linux access and enforce least privilege with a repeatable, audit-ready model, powered by the LinuxGuard platform.

Overview

Most Linux estates grow organically: local users, ad-hoc sudo rules, SSH keys everywhere, and no single source of truth. Auditors keep raising the same findings, and engineering teams are too busy shipping features to redesign access from scratch. This service delivers a standardized Linux access architecture using your existing directory/IAM stack (e.g. AD/Entra, LDAP, IAM tools), with a hardened baseline for authentication and authorization (PKI, SSSD, sudo/SELinux pattern) aligned with CIS, NIST and NIS2 expectations. Runs on the same platform currently in PoC with enterprise customers. Includes baseline policy, deployment guidance, dashboards, and continuous compliance checks for Linux access.

Typical Timeline: 30 days

Key Benefits

  • Standardized Linux access architecture aligned with compliance frameworks
  • Hardened authentication and authorization baseline
  • Deployment playbook for fleet-wide rollout
  • Continuous visibility into access drift and misconfigurations
  • Runs on proven platform currently in PoC with enterprise customers

Ideal For

  • SaaS, fintech, and life sciences teams running lots of Linux
  • Organizations under PCI-DSS / ISO 27001 pressure
  • Companies with fragmented Linux access models
