Secure Your ColdFusion Systems Before AI Touches Them

Before AI can access your systems, those systems need to be secure. We audit, harden, and certify ColdFusion infrastructure so you can open data access to AI without opening the door to attackers. OWASP, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA compliance from an Adobe Solution Partner since 1998.

Our Security Audit Process

Comprehensive 5-phase assessment that secures your systems and clears them for AI integration

Discovery

Infrastructure Assessment

Comprehensive review of server configuration, network topology, access controls, and deployment architecture -- mapping every surface AI agents will eventually touch.

Code Review

Static & Dynamic Analysis

Automated and manual code review to identify SQL injection, XSS, CSRF vulnerabilities, and insecure coding patterns that would become attack vectors once AI has data access.

Penetration Testing

Active Security Testing

Ethical hacking techniques to identify exploitable vulnerabilities in authentication, authorization, and data handling before AI integration widens the attack surface.

Compliance Check

Standards Validation

Verify alignment with OWASP Top 10, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and industry-specific security requirements that AI deployments inherit.

Reporting

AI-Readiness Scorecard & Remediation

Comprehensive security report with risk ratings, proof-of-concept exploits, and a prioritized remediation plan that clears the path to safe AI integration.

Vulnerabilities That Block AI Integration

SQL Injection

Critical Risk

Unparameterized database queries allowing attackers to access, modify, or delete sensitive data. Common in legacy ColdFusion code using cfquery without cfqueryparam.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

High Risk

Unsanitized user input reflected in HTML output, allowing JavaScript injection. Exploitable through form submissions, URL parameters, and cookies.

Authentication Weaknesses

Critical Risk

Weak password policies, insufficient session management, missing multi-factor authentication, and improper logout handling.

Outdated ColdFusion Versions

High Risk

Legacy CF versions (11, 2016, 2018) lacking critical security patches. Adobe no longer provides security updates for end-of-life versions.

Insecure Deserialization

High Risk

Improper handling of serialized data (WDDX, JSON, Java objects) allowing remote code execution and privilege escalation.

Insufficient Access Controls

Medium Risk

Missing authorization checks allowing privilege escalation, unprotected admin interfaces, and exposed sensitive functionality.

Security Hardening Checklist

20-point checklist we implement to secure your ColdFusion environment before opening data access to AI

Disable unnecessary ColdFusion services and features
Implement secure session management with HttpOnly and Secure flags
Configure Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
Enable request throttling and rate limiting
Implement input validation and output encoding
Configure secure database connection strings
Enable ColdFusion security sandbox
Implement proper error handling without information disclosure
Configure web server (IIS/Apache) security headers
Disable directory browsing and verbose error messages
Implement file upload restrictions and validation
Configure HTTPS with TLS 1.2+ only
Enable ColdFusion administrator IP restrictions
Implement logging and monitoring for security events
Configure secure cookie attributes
Implement CSRF token validation
Remove default ColdFusion administrator accounts
Configure secure CFM file permissions
Enable SQL query timeouts and connection pooling
Implement API rate limiting and authentication

Compliance & Standards

OWASP Top 10

Address all OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities -- injection flaws, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure -- that become critical once AI agents interact with your application layer.

PCI-DSS

Ensure ColdFusion applications handling payment card data meet PCI-DSS requirements before AI-driven analytics or automation touches transaction flows.

HIPAA

Implement technical safeguards for ColdFusion applications processing Protected Health Information (PHI), a prerequisite for any AI that accesses patient data.

SOC 2

Establish security controls, access management, and monitoring aligned with SOC 2 Type II requirements -- the baseline auditors expect before AI integration.
