Security Configuration Review Singapore — CIS Benchmark Assessment
You cannot fix what you cannot see. A Security Configuration Review is the fastest way to find out, precisely, where your live systems diverge from where your policies — and your certification — say they should be. It is the natural first step in system hardening and compliance enforcement.
What we review
Sage Shield assesses your live estate against CIS Benchmarks and vendor hardening guidance across every domain that matters:
- Identity & access — MFA coverage, privileged accounts, password and conditional-access policy
- Endpoints — protection, disk encryption, patch baseline, removable-media control
- Email — SPF, DKIM, DMARC and anti-phishing posture
- Cloud & SaaS — identity, least-privilege and secure defaults across Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and cloud platforms
- Network — firewall rules, segmentation and remote access
- Logging & backup — centralised logging, retention and tested restore
Read-only, no disruption
The review changes nothing on your systems. We read the configuration, benchmark it, and report — no downtime, no risk to production.
How it differs from a penetration test
A penetration test looks from the outside for what is exploitable today. A configuration review reads your real internal settings and reveals latent misconfiguration a test would miss. Many organisations run both: the review to fix the root state, a test to prove it. For a plain-language starting point, a Compliance Health Check is the lightest first step.
What you receive
- A severity-ranked findings report
- A prioritised remediation roadmap
- An executive summary for management and for your IT team or vendor
From here, the natural next step is Security Compliance Enforcement — turning the findings into enforced controls with audit-ready evidence for your ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials programme.
Frequently asked questions
What does the review cover?
Identity and access, endpoints, email, cloud and SaaS, network, logging and backup — against CIS Benchmarks and vendor hardening guidance.
Is it disruptive?
No. It is read-only, with no downtime or change to production.
How is it different from a penetration test?
A test probes from outside; a configuration review reads your actual internal settings and shows where they diverge from benchmark and policy.
What do we receive?
A severity-ranked findings report, a prioritised remediation roadmap, and an executive summary.
