Security AuditClose the Easy Doors
Most real-world compromises do not begin with an exotic exploit. They begin with a cookie missing an attribute, a policy that constrains nothing, a backup file left in the web root, or an error page that helpfully names the framework and its version. This audit works through that layer methodically and closes it.

Configuration is the cheapest security work you will ever do and the most expensive to leave undone. A missing Content-Security-Policy directive costs nothing to add today and contains a script injection bug that has not been written yet. A cookie without the Secure attribute is a one-line change now and a finding in every review you face from here on. These controls also compound: they are what stops a small mistake later from turning into an incident.
OurSecurity & Configuration Audit Services
Transport & TLS
Whether HTTP redirects to HTTPS, whether HSTS is sent with a sensible lifetime, which protocol versions and cipher suites the server will actually negotiate, and whether legacy versions are refused at the handshake rather than merely discouraged.
Response Headers & Cookies
Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. Every cookie the application issues is checked for Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite, and any deliberate exception is recorded as deliberate.
Content-Security-Policy Design
A policy is only useful if it is enforced and does not break the page. We design nonce-based policies with strict-dynamic, deploy them in report-only mode first, verify them in a real browser, and only then switch to enforcing.
Exposed Files & Artefacts
Repository and environment files, build configuration, backup and temporary extensions, JavaScript source maps, directory listings, and health endpoints. Anything that should not be reachable from the public internet.
HTTP Methods & Error Behaviour
Whether unsupported methods are refused at the edge rather than handed to application code, and whether error responses leak stack traces, framework internals, or version strings on malformed input.
Disclosure & Contact Routes
A published security.txt to RFC 9116 with a monitored contact address and a maintained expiry date, so a researcher who finds a problem has a documented way to reach you instead of a sales inbox.
Why Partner with NEXHUB
Clients who choose NEXHUB Technology for security & configuration audit consistently see meaningful, measurable advantages for their business.
Get a Free Consultation- Fast to Fix, Fast to VerifyMost of what this audit finds is a configuration change rather than a code change. Many items are closed within the same engagement.
- Fewer Findings in Every Later ReviewThis is the layer that every future auditor, customer questionnaire, and procurement review checks first. Closing it once removes it from all of them.
- Defence That Holds LaterA correct policy today contains a bug introduced next quarter. These controls pay off at the moment something else goes wrong.
- Applied at the Right LayerWhere a fix belongs in shared edge configuration rather than in a single site, we say so, so every environment you run inherits it instead of drifting apart.
Questions,Answered
A penetration test asks what an attacker can do to your application, including its logic and its data. A configuration audit asks whether the layer underneath is set up correctly: transport, headers, cookies, methods, exposed files, and error behaviour. The audit is narrower, faster, and less expensive, and it makes a sensible first engagement. Many clients run the audit first and the penetration test once it is closed.
