Cloud Security Assessment

Protecting your cloud infrastructure demands more than default configurations. Our comprehensive cloud security assessment service methodically evaluates your AWS, Azure, or GCP environments to uncover misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and architectural weaknesses that adversaries actively exploit. From identity and access management policies to storage bucket permissions and network segmentation, we deliver actionable intelligence that hardens your cloud posture and aligns it with industry compliance frameworks.

Comprehensive Cloud Security Capabilities

Our cloud security assessments span the full spectrum of cloud-native attack surfaces, from identity federation misconfigurations to serverless function vulnerabilities, ensuring no exploitable gap goes undetected across your multi-cloud environment.

IAM Policy Review

We perform granular analysis of your Identity and Access Management configurations, examining role trust relationships, policy conditions, permission boundaries, and cross-account access patterns. Our review identifies overly permissive policies, dormant credentials, and privilege escalation paths that could allow an attacker to gain administrative control over your entire cloud estate.

S3/Blob Storage Audit

Cloud storage misconfigurations remain one of the most common causes of data breaches. We audit every bucket and container for public access settings, ACL configurations, encryption at rest and in transit, versioning policies, and lifecycle rules. Our assessment ensures sensitive data is not inadvertently exposed to the internet or accessible by unauthorized principals.

Network Security Groups

We evaluate your virtual network architecture including security groups, NACLs, VPC peering, transit gateways, and firewall rules. Our analysis maps ingress and egress traffic flows to identify overly broad rules, unnecessary public-facing services, and insufficient network segmentation that could enable lateral movement within your cloud environment.

Serverless Security

Lambda functions, Azure Functions, and Cloud Functions introduce unique attack surfaces that traditional security tools often miss. We assess function permissions, event source configurations, environment variable handling, execution role policies, and cold-start vulnerabilities to ensure your serverless workloads cannot be weaponized against your infrastructure.

Container Security (K8s)

Kubernetes clusters and container orchestration platforms require specialized security attention. We assess pod security policies, RBAC configurations, network policies, image vulnerability scanning, secrets management, and runtime security controls. Our review covers the entire container lifecycle from build pipelines to production deployment.

Compliance & Governance

We map your cloud configurations against regulatory frameworks including CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA requirements. Our governance review evaluates tagging strategies, resource organization, audit logging, and policy enforcement mechanisms to ensure your cloud operations meet both internal standards and external regulatory obligations.

Assessment Methodology

Our cloud security assessment follows a structured, repeatable methodology designed to provide maximum coverage with minimal disruption to your production workloads. Each phase builds upon the previous, creating a comprehensive security picture of your cloud environment.

01

Cloud Asset Discovery

We begin by enumerating all cloud resources across your accounts and subscriptions, mapping services, regions, and resource relationships. This discovery phase creates a complete inventory of your cloud footprint, including shadow IT resources and forgotten development environments that may have been provisioned outside standard governance processes.

02

Configuration Review

Every resource configuration is analyzed against security best practices and CIS benchmarks. We examine encryption settings, logging configurations, backup policies, and service-specific security controls. Automated scanning is combined with manual expert review to catch nuanced misconfigurations that automated tools alone would miss.

03

Access Control Audit

We conduct a thorough analysis of IAM policies, role assumptions, federation configurations, and service account permissions. This phase identifies privilege escalation paths, excessive cross-account access, and dormant credentials that represent significant risk. We also evaluate MFA enforcement and password policies across all user accounts.

04

Vulnerability Testing

With proper authorization, we perform targeted testing of identified weaknesses to validate their exploitability and assess real-world impact. This includes testing public-facing services, attempting privilege escalation through identified IAM weaknesses, and verifying that security controls function as intended under adversarial conditions.

05

Reporting & Hardening

We deliver a comprehensive report with prioritized findings, risk ratings, and detailed remediation guidance including infrastructure-as-code snippets for immediate implementation. Our hardening recommendations include both quick wins for immediate risk reduction and strategic improvements for long-term security posture enhancement.

Tools & Technologies

We leverage industry-leading open-source and commercial tools purpose-built for cloud security assessment, ensuring thorough coverage across all major cloud providers and services.
