If you manage your own servers, n8n, Baserow or other self-hosted apps, you don’t need a full SOC — you need practical, automated protection. FRAI sets up and runs a managed security layer: hardening, encrypted backups, login and intrusion monitoring, alerts and basic self-healing. No dashboards to learn, no extra work: you just get fewer incidents and more sleep.
Problems We Solve
We apply proven hardening practices to your Linux-based infrastructure: firewall configuration, SSH protection, basic intrusion detection (e.g. fail2ban-style rules), secure defaults and system services tuned for your stack. No magic, just good hygiene implemented correctly and maintained by FRAI.
We design and implement automated, encrypted backups for your core assets: databases, volumes, configuration and critical files. Backups go to a safe, off-site location (S3-compatible storage, secondary servers or similar) with clear retention rules and documented, tested restore procedures.
We deploy small, efficient agents that watch for logins and access events on SSH, admin panels, VPNs and selected web apps. You receive notifications when someone logs in from a new IP or at unusual times, so you always know who is inside and when.
The system tracks key resources such as CPU, RAM, disk usage and service health. When thresholds are exceeded or a process fails, you receive a clear alert via your preferred channel (email, Slack, Telegram…). For selected services, we can also implement automatic restarts or self-healing logic.
We configure and monitor TLS certificates and basic reverse proxy rules (e.g. via Nginx or Traefik). This includes automatic certificate renewal, HTTP to HTTPS redirects and safe defaults for common web threats. You avoid the classic “site is down because the certificate expired” situation.
FRAI designs, installs and maintains all scripts, agents and jobs. Everything is transparent, documented and aligned with your automation stack: n8n, Baserow, webhooks, internal tools or custom apps. You don’t manage security tooling — you just receive value and alerts when it matters.
Kickoff process
6 clear steps: you start with one click, one key call, and we handle the rest.
You tell us which servers, services and self-hosted tools you rely on (providers, IPs, domains, main applications and where critical data lives).
We review access methods, backup status, surface-level configuration and obvious risks. The goal is to understand what needs basic protection, monitoring and automation first.
You receive a concise plan: what we harden, where we add monitoring, how backups will work, what will trigger alerts, and a cost estimate for set-up and ongoing management.
FRAI configures firewall rules, SSH security, encrypted backups, login watchers and resource monitoring. Where needed, we implement small self-healing scripts for critical services.
We run controlled tests with you: trigger logins, simulate resource problems, perform a test restore and validate that you receive the right alerts and that recovery is realistic.
The system runs in the background. FRAI keeps scripts and configurations updated, adapts to changes in your stack and periodically reviews backup and security status.
Time spent manually checking servers and dashboards
-50% to -80% thanks to automated monitoring and alerts
Risk of losing critical data
Strongly reduced through encrypted, tested backups and documented restore processes
Visibility into who is accessing your systems
From almost none to clear, timely alerts for logins and suspicious attempts
Protect client projects hosted on low-cost VPS: login monitoring, backups and SSL management without turning into a full DevOps team.
Secure staging and production environments for early-stage SaaS with automatic backups and alerts when services fail or logins look unusual.
Law, accounting or advisory firms that run self-hosted portals, dashboards or document tools and need basic security and auditability.
Monitoring and backup of small custom services around the main store (price sync tools, feed generators, reporting dashboards).
Small internal teams that rely on a few key servers and want an external partner to maintain hardening, backups and alerts.
Businesses already using n8n, RPA or custom automation who want the underlying servers and services to be more resilient and observable.
Comparisons
Staying manual: you only notice problems when something is down.
Autopilot: alerts before or as issues appear.
Staying manual: backups are unclear and rarely tested.
Autopilot: explicit, encrypted backups with real restore tests.
Staying manual: you hope nobody is accessing systems unexpectedly.
Autopilot: concrete login and access visibility.
Generic hosting: one-size-fits-all plans with little understanding of your automations.
FRAI: tailored to your specific stack (n8n, Baserow, custom bots).
Generic hosting: you adapt to their tools and dashboards.
FRAI: we adapt to your workflows and preferred notification channels.
Generic hosting: limited flexibility over scripts and configuration.
FRAI: transparent scripts and configurations you can inspect or extend.
Full SOC: powerful but complex and expensive.
Lightweight layer: pragmatic protection for small teams.
Full SOC: designed for large organisations with many endpoints.
Lightweight layer: focused on a few critical servers and apps.
Full SOC: heavy onboarding and long contracts.
Lightweight layer: faster set-up with clear, limited scope and direct value.
No. This is a purely defensive service. We work only on servers and services you own or manage, and we focus on configuration, monitoring, backups and alerts. No offensive security testing or unauthorised access attempts are involved.
No. This is a lightweight security and infrastructure autopilot tailored to small teams and self-hosted stacks. We provide practical hardening, backups, login monitoring and alerts — not a full enterprise SOC with large teams and complex tooling.
We typically work with common VPS and cloud providers (such as Hetzner, OVH, DigitalOcean and similar) and standard Linux distributions. On top, we integrate easily with tools like n8n, Baserow, reverse proxies (Nginx, Traefik) and other self-hosted services.
We usually require SSH access to the servers and, where relevant, access to panel or DNS to manage certificates and domains. Access is kept to the minimum needed, and everything we implement is documented and auditable.
The goal of the system is to reduce that risk and provide earlier signals. If an incident occurs, we can help you interpret logs, verify backups and support initial recovery within the scope of our agreement, but we do not replace specialised incident response teams.
There is usually an initial implementation fee based on the number of servers and services, followed by a monthly fee for monitoring, maintenance and adjustments. You always receive a clear proposal before we start.
No. You do not have to manage security tools or dashboards. FRAI handles the technical work. You receive simple alerts, periodic summaries and clear instructions if you need to take action.
For a small infrastructure (one to three servers and a few key services), the initial implementation typically takes between 1 and 3 weeks, depending on complexity and your availability to test and validate.
You focus on building products and automations. FRAI designs, implements and maintains a practical security and infrastructure layer: hardening, backups, monitoring and alerts for your real-world stack.
