In his November 2014 Ars Technica guide, Andrew Cunningham described a Yosemite-style interface, Internet reachability checks and an Access tab with network-based access rules. These are features described in his contemporary guide, not an independent security measurement or a guarantee that every service was reachable.

Apple's security documentation for Server 4.0 records fixes in Wiki Server, Xcode Server, mail and Profile Manager. It also describes disabling SSL 3.0 in Web Server, Calendar & Contacts Server and Remote Administration in response to attacks against that protocol. These are changes in that version, not a claim about present-day security.

Apple's archive dates Server 4.1 to April 8, 2015, and 4.1.5 to August 13, 2015. The table preserves only these verified milestones and the 4.0 release. Modern document revision dates are not treated as release dates, and the features Cunningham describes remain attributed to his guide.
