Security baseline checklist

We document the security baseline before server launch: VPN, firewall, DDoS, SIEM logging, access policy, network segmentation, incident response, backup and ownership.

VPN firewall SIEM logging access policy DDoS

Which search requests this page answers

We cover commercial and engineering scenarios for server infrastructure choice: TCO, checklist, migration, SLA/SLO, RPO/RTO and ownership.

What the security baseline captures

The checklist separates the mandatory protection baseline from optional wishes: access, network, logs, monitoring, backup and incident response flow.

What the security baseline captures

Access policy

Roles, VPN entry points, privileged access, MFA expectations and emergency access rules.

VPN MFA privileged access
What the security baseline captures

Firewall and network segmentation

Firewall rules, allow lists, service boundaries, DDoS assumptions and private network zones.

firewall segmentation DDoS
What the security baseline captures

SIEM logging and monitoring

System logs, security events, audit trail, SIEM handoff, alert routing and retention rules.

SIEM logging alerts
What the security baseline captures

Incident response ownership

Who reacts, escalation contacts, maintenance window, rollback, backup checks and evidence after the event.

When a dedicated security baseline is needed

A dedicated baseline is needed for public services, VPN access, personal data, ERP, Bitrix, integrations and any systems with SLA/SLO.

When a dedicated security baseline is needed

Public services

Firewall, DDoS assumptions, TLS, logging, vulnerability response and traffic monitoring.

DDoS TLS monitoring

Private access contour

VPN, bastion, MFA, role boundaries and audit trail for operators and contractors.

Regulated or sensitive data

Access policy, SIEM logging, backup retention, restore tests and incident response ownership.

What the team receives

The output is a security readiness record: access rules, firewall, network segments, SIEM/logging, backup, RACI and response plan.

What the team receives

Security readiness record

Baseline controls, owners, acceptance criteria and evidence needed before launch.

baseline owners evidence
What the team receives

Response runbook

Alert routing, escalation, rollback, communication rules and post-incident evidence collection.

FAQ

Is security baseline the same as a full security audit?

No. The baseline defines mandatory controls before launch. A full audit goes deeper into implementation, vulnerabilities, evidence and remediation backlog.

Can the checklist be used for existing infrastructure?

Yes. It helps compare the current server infrastructure against required VPN, firewall, SIEM logging, access policy, backup and incident response controls.

Build a security baseline

Describe servers, access, VPN/firewall, logs and SLA/SLO: we will prepare a security baseline checklist and security readiness record.

Send a request or contact us about the project: a SO-TECH engineer will estimate TCO, compare SLA/SLO, backup, RPO/RTO and help choose the server model for your budget, workload and launch timeline.
