Cloud Security Assessment
Cloud environments don't stay secure on their own.
Configuration drift, IAM sprawl, and misconfigured storage are behind most cloud breaches. None of them announce themselves. We conduct a read-only audit of your AWS, Azure, or GCP environment and tell you exactly where you are exposed before someone else does.
Why Cloud Posture Degrades
The cloud moves faster than your governance does.
New accounts get spun up. Services get enabled without security review. IAM permissions expand and never get pruned. Manual changes bypass infrastructure-as-code. What was a secure baseline in Q1 has drifted significantly by Q4 and no one has a current picture of what that drift looks like.
Cloud misconfigurations don't announce themselves. They sit quietly until a misconfigured S3 bucket becomes a breach disclosure or an overly permissive service account becomes an attacker's persistence mechanism. The gap between your assumed posture and your actual posture is where incidents happen.
No Current Cloud Security Baseline
You've never had an independent audit of your cloud environment, or your last one was conducted before significant infrastructure changes.
Rapid Cloud Growth
New accounts, new services, new regions, and new teams have expanded your cloud footprint faster than your governance and security controls have kept pace.
Compliance Requirements
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or FedRAMP requirements include cloud configuration controls that need independent validation and documented evidence.
Post-Incident Review
A security incident involved cloud resources and you need to understand whether the misconfiguration was isolated or symptomatic of broader posture issues.
What Makes This Different
Audit Built Around Your Actual Cloud Environment
01
Read-Only, Non-Invasive Assessment
Non-invasive read-only assessment using native cloud provider APIs. No disruption to production workloads. Automated scanning combined with manual configuration review for comprehensive coverage that automated tools alone can't provide.
02
CIS Benchmark Compliance Evaluation
Assessment against CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark, CIS Azure Foundations Benchmark, or CIS GCP Foundations Benchmark the industry-standard configuration baselines for IAM, logging, monitoring, networking, and encryption.
03
Misconfiguration Detection & Remediation Guidance
Identification of common cloud security misconfigurations: overly permissive IAM policies, unencrypted storage, public-facing databases, disabled logging, and insecure network configurations with IaC-ready remediation templates your engineering team can deploy.
Not sure what your cloud posture actually looks like?
The free consultation is a direct conversation about your cloud environment, your compliance requirements, and what an independent audit would surface.
Program Deliverables
What the Engagement Delivers
Every cloud security assessment delivers actionable findings with remediation templates your engineering team can implement directly.
Cloud Security Posture Report
Comprehensive findings report with CIS Benchmark compliance scoring, prioritized misconfiguration findings by severity, and account-by-account or subscription-by-subscription coverage.
IAM & Privilege Analysis
Detailed review of IAM policies, service accounts, role assignments, and privilege escalation paths with specific findings and least-privilege remediation recommendations.
Network Exposure Assessment
Analysis of security groups, network ACLs, VPC configurations, and public-facing resources with identification of unintended exposure and segmentation gaps.
Encryption & Data Protection Review
Assessment of encryption implementation at rest and in transit, key management practices, and storage configuration across cloud-native services.
Remediation Templates
Infrastructure-as-Code remediation templates (Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM) and CLI commands for automated remediation of identified findings ready for your engineering team to implement.
Ongoing Monitoring Recommendations
Configuration for cloud-native security monitoring tools (AWS Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, GCP Security Command Center) to detect future configuration drift.
Ideal For
Who This Engagement Serves.
Cloud-Native Organizations
SaaS platforms, technology companies, and startups built entirely on AWS, Azure, or GCP who need independent validation of cloud security posture and compliance baseline.
Cloud Migration Projects
Organizations migrating workloads to the cloud who need security architecture review before deployment or post-migration validation to confirm secure configuration.
Multi-Cloud Environments
Companies operating across AWS, Azure, and GCP who need consistent security baseline assessment, unified findings reporting, and cross-cloud architecture review.
What Happens After You Reach Out
From Consultation to Remediation Ready Findings
Typical timeline: 3–4 weeks from kickoff to final deliverable. The free consultation is step one.
Initial Consultation
We talk through your cloud environment, your compliance requirements, and what a read-only audit would cover. No commitment required.
Scoping, Access Provisioning and Architecture Review
Kickoff to define assessment scope across accounts and regions. Review of cloud architecture diagrams and IaC repositories. Read-only IAM role provisioning.
Automated Scanning, Manual Review and Configuration Analysis
Automated CIS Benchmark scanning using cloud-native security tools. Manual review of IAM policies, network architecture, encryption, and security monitoring. Public exposure detection.
Risk Prioritization, Remediation Planning and Draft Report
Severity scoring and risk prioritization by exploitability and business impact. IaC remediation template development. Preliminary findings review with cloud engineering and DevOps teams.
Final Report, Remediation Templates and Technical Walkthrough
Final security posture report with prioritized findings and remediation templates. Technical walkthrough with cloud engineering and platform teams.
