Cloud Security Assessment
Identify misconfigurations before attackers do. Comprehensive security assessment of your AWS, Azure, and GCP environments against CIS Benchmarks, IAM best practices, and major compliance frameworks.
Configuration · Identity · Compliance
Three interconnected domains covering the entire cloud security posture from infrastructure to data compliance.
Cloud Misconfiguration Review
Systematic review of your cloud environment against CIS Benchmarks. We identify exposed storage, permissive security groups, disabled logging, and unencrypted data.
- CIS Benchmark audit (AWS/Azure/GCP)
- S3/Blob storage public exposure check
- Network Security Group & firewall rules
- KMS key management and encryption review
IAM & Privilege Review
Comprehensive review of IAM policies, role assignments, service accounts, and MFA enforcement to identify over-privilege, unused credentials, and dangerous policy combinations.
- AWS IAM / Azure RBAC / GCP IAM policy review
- Privilege escalation path identification
- MFA enforcement and conditional access gaps
- Unused key and credential cleanup
Regulatory Compliance Assessment
Mapping cloud security findings to major compliance frameworks. We produce audit-ready evidence packages and compliance gap reports.
- SOC 2 Type II cloud control mapping
- ISO 27001 Annex A cloud control evidence
- PCI-DSS cloud environment scoping
- HIPAA security rule cloud validation
Misconfiguration Is the Leading Cause of Cloud Breaches
Cloud providers secure the infrastructure. You secure everything built on top of it. The shared responsibility model means your IAM policies, storage configurations, and network rules are entirely your responsibility — and attackers know exactly where to look.
Our cloud security assessment closes the gap between what your environment should look like and what it actually looks like — before that gap becomes a breach.
Public Exposure Risk
Identifying all assets publicly accessible without a clear business justification.
Permission Creep
Eliminating accumulated over-permissions that make every account a high-value target.
Encryption Gaps
Ensuring data at rest and in transit is protected across all storage and transit paths.
Blind-Spot Coverage
Reviewing rarely-audited services like Lambda, CloudFront, and Managed Databases.
5-Phase Cloud Security Assessment
From asset discovery and CIS benchmark scanning through manual IAM review to compliance-mapped reporting and IaC remediation.
Discovery & Asset Inventory
We enumerate all cloud accounts, regions, and services to build a complete picture of your cloud footprint. Unmanaged accounts, shadow IT workloads, and orphaned resources are identified.
Configuration Baseline Assessment
Automated scanning with Prowler, ScoutSuite, and Steampipe against CIS Benchmarks for all cloud platforms. Manual verification follows to eliminate false positives.
IAM & Access Control Deep Dive
Manual review of IAM policies, cross-account trust relationships, service account permissions, and privilege escalation paths beyond what automated tools detect.
Logging, Monitoring & Detection Review
Verification that CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, GCP Cloud Audit Logs, and alerting pipelines are correctly configured, retained, and capturing the right security events.
Risk-Rated Report & Remediation Roadmap
Deliverable includes a prioritized finding register, compliance gap report with framework mappings, and remediation guidance with IaC-ready code snippets.
End-to-End Cloud Security Coverage
From public-facing storage and network perimeter through identity and key management to compliance evidence generation.
Storage Security
S3 buckets, Azure Blob containers, and GCP Cloud Storage access control — ensuring no data is publicly exposed or accessible without authentication.
Network Perimeter
Security group rules, NACLs, VPC peering configurations, and firewall policies reviewed for overly permissive rules that expose services to the internet.
Identity & IAM
In-depth review of all IAM user, role, and policy configurations to eliminate unused permissions, detect privilege escalation, and enforce least privilege.
Logging & Visibility
Validation that audit logging is enabled for all control-plane events across all services and regions — CloudTrail, Azure Activity Log, and GCP Audit Logs.
Encryption & Key Management
Reviewing KMS key policies, customer-managed key (CMK) usage, encryption-at-rest and in-transit configurations, and secrets management practices.
Compliance Reporting
Generating compliance evidence mapped to CIS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS frameworks for audit-readiness and regulatory submissions.
Beyond Automated Scanning
Automated tools find known misconfigs. Our security engineers find the ones that require understanding context, architecture, and attacker methodology.
Multi-Cloud Expertise
Deep expertise across AWS, Azure, and GCP — not a single-cloud tool adapted to multi-cloud. We assess each environment against its own native security best practices.
Hybrid + Manual Approach
Automated scanning catches known misconfigs. Our manual review layer catches the edge cases automated tools miss — complex IAM policy interactions, cross-account trust chains.
IaC Remediation Snippets
Findings include Terraform and CloudFormation snippets to fix issues directly in your infrastructure code — not just text descriptions of what needs to change.
Compliance-Ready Output
Reports are structured to serve as audit evidence directly. We understand what auditors look for and format deliverables accordingly.
