Frequently asked questions

From risk assessment to rapid response - we’re with you every step of the way.

What is a configuration review?

A configuration review is a deep-dive assessment of your systems, devices and network setups to identify misconfigurations, outdated settings and other vulnerabilities. It ensures your environment is aligned with security best practices and reduces the risk of breaches caused by human error or default settings.

Why do I need a configuration review if I already have firewalls and antivirus?

Even with firewalls and antivirus in place, misconfigurations can leave critical gaps in your defences. A configuration review examines how your security tools are actually set up and ensures they’re not leaving you exposed through common errors or overlooked settings.

What systems or components are reviewed in a configuration review?

Bastion reviews everything from Active Directory and host configurations to network devices, firewall rule sets, and VPN security. We also assess cloud configurations, segmentation, and monitoring setups to give you a complete picture of your environment.

How often should I perform a configuration review?

Regular reviews are recommended, especially after major system changes, software upgrades or audits. Annual reviews help ensure continued alignment with best practice and reduce the chance of drift or accidental misconfiguration.

What are the outcomes of a configuration review?

You’ll receive a detailed report outlining risks, misconfigurations, and recommended actions. This helps you prioritise fixes, strengthen your security posture and demonstrate proactive risk management to auditors and stakeholders.
