Cloud Security

Cloud Security Assessments
for AWS, Azure & GCP.

Specialized security assessments for your cloud infrastructure. Configuration review, IAM audits, container security evaluation, and cloud penetration testing to ensure proper protection of your cloud assets.

What is a Cloud Security Assessment?

A comprehensive evaluation of your cloud infrastructure, focusing on misconfigurations, access control vulnerabilities, and deployment security.

Cloud environments present unique security challenges. The shift-left model, API-driven architecture, and shared responsibility model mean that misconfigurations—not broken cryptography—are the primary cause of cloud breaches. A cloud security assessment identifies these misconfigurations before they become exploits.

We assess your AWS, Azure, or GCP environment across multiple dimensions: infrastructure configuration, access controls, data protection, logging and monitoring, container security, and serverless function hardening. Our assessment combines automated scanning with manual testing to uncover both common and nuanced vulnerabilities.

Cloud Assessment Scope

Configuration Review

  • Compute instance hardening
  • Storage bucket & database access
  • Network isolation & VPC security
  • Security group & firewall rules
  • Logging & monitoring configuration

IAM & Access Control

  • Identity and access management audit
  • Overprivileged role review
  • Service account security
  • Cross-account access evaluation
  • API key & secret management

Container & Kubernetes Security

  • Container image vulnerability scanning
  • Registry access control
  • Kubernetes cluster hardening
  • Pod security policy review
  • Network policies & RBAC evaluation

Serverless & Functions

  • Function code & dependency review
  • Lambda layer & environment analysis
  • API Gateway configuration assessment
  • Cold start & timing attacks
  • Secrets & credential handling

Data Protection & Encryption

  • Data at rest encryption
  • Data in transit encryption
  • Key management & rotation
  • Secrets storage assessment
  • Backup & disaster recovery

Cloud Penetration Testing

  • API exploitation
  • Instance metadata service attacks
  • Privilege escalation via IRSA/MSI
  • Data exfiltration attempts
  • Lateral movement scenarios

AWS, Azure & GCP Assessment

  • RBAC & Entra ID review
  • Storage account security
  • AKS cluster configuration
  • Azure Functions & Logic Apps

GCP Assessment

  • Compute Engine security
  • IAM & service account audit
  • Cloud Storage & Firestore
  • GKE cluster hardening
  • Cloud Functions evaluation

Cloud Security & Compliance

Cloud security assessments directly support compliance requirements. Regulators and auditors increasingly require evidence that your cloud infrastructure meets security standards. Our cloud security assessment provides:

Compliance Framework Alignment

Detailed mapping to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and other relevant frameworks specific to your cloud platform.

Audit-Ready Documentation

Evidence of configuration review, vulnerability identification, and remediation that auditors can reference.

Risk Quantification

Clear severity ratings and business impact assessments that help prioritize remediation efforts.

Cloud Security Assessment Methodology

01

Scoping & Planning

Understand your cloud architecture, identify priority systems, and define assessment objectives.

02

Configuration Analysis

Automated and manual review of cloud configurations, policies, and security controls.

03

Access Testing

Evaluate IAM policies, role assumptions, service account compromise potential.

04

Penetration Testing

Attempt exploitation of identified misconfigurations to assess real-world impact.

05

Reporting & Remediation

Detailed findings with severity ratings, compliance mapping, and actionable remediation steps.

Why Cloud Security Assessments Matter

Prevent Misconfigurations Before Breach

Cloud misconfigurations are the leading cause of data breaches. A single S3 bucket configured as public can expose millions of records. Our assessment identifies and helps fix these issues before attackers find them.

Reduce Cloud Security Debt

As your cloud environment grows, security debt accumulates. Legacy configurations, unused resources, and overprivileged identities create risk. Our assessment helps you understand and eliminate this debt.

Meet Compliance Requirements

Auditors and regulators require evidence of cloud security controls. Our assessment provides the documentation needed to demonstrate compliance.

Enable Secure Cloud Growth

As your business expands cloud usage, start with a secure foundation. Our assessment establishes baseline security that scales with your growth.
