The simplest entry point for beginners is cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/, choose a part of your service you want to harden and apply approaches provided by OWASP

In general, OWASP is a set of rules and best practices rather than a framework or toolbox, but there are plenty of tools that ensure owasp best-practices (unfortunately I didn't find anything enterprise-ready, that could be recommended )
