Hardening Checklist
- Disable/limit unnecessary services and open ports.
- Apply CIS-aligned baseline configuration templates.
- Enforce TLS 1.2+ and modern cipher suites.
- Enable WAF/rate limiting and bot protections for public endpoints.
- Implement immutable baseline and drift detection controls.
Access Control Recommendations
- Mandate MFA for all privileged accounts.
- Use least-privilege RBAC and just-in-time elevation.
- Rotate credentials/keys on policy cadence.
- Separate admin and workload identities.
- Review stale permissions monthly.
Logging and Audit Requirements
- Centralize audit events for admin actions and policy changes.
- Retain auth logs, access logs, and security events per compliance policy.
- Protect log integrity (write-once or immutable log path where feasible).
- Enable detection alerts for privilege escalation and anomalous access patterns.
Backup and Security Recommendations
- Maintain encrypted backups with tested restore runbooks.
- Store one backup copy in isolated account/subscription/project.
- Define ransomware-aware recovery strategy with immutable snapshots.
- Validate backup retention against ISO27001 evidence requirements.
Patching Recommendations
- Automate patching for OS, runtime, and dependency layers.
- Set severity-based patch SLAs (critical within 48 hours).
- Stage patch testing in non-production before production rollout.
- Track exceptions with documented risk acceptance and expiry.
