Cloud Security

Find what is actually exposed in your cloud, fix the misconfigurations that cause breaches, and keep it that way as you ship.

Cloud Security

Overview

Cloud security is the practice of keeping your AWS, Azure or GCP estate defensible as it changes, which it does daily. The dominant cause of cloud breaches is not an exotic exploit but a misconfiguration: a storage bucket left public, an over-permissive IAM role, a management port open to the internet, logging switched off in the account nobody remembers owning. We combine posture management (finding and fixing those misconfigurations continuously) with cloud penetration testing (proving what an attacker could actually reach and chain together), because a posture score alone tells you what is misconfigured, not what is genuinely exploitable.

Methodology & Standards

Assessments are benchmarked against the CIS Foundations Benchmarks for AWS, Azure and GCP, the cloud provider well-architected security pillars, and the OWASP Cloud-Native Top 10. Testing follows the provider rules of engagement, and identity findings are framed against the principle of least privilege rather than a generic checklist.

What's Included

Cloud security posture assessment against CIS Benchmarks (AWS, Azure, GCP)
IAM and identity review: over-permissive roles, stale keys, privilege escalation paths
Cloud penetration testing to prove real, exploitable attack paths
Kubernetes and container security review
Data exposure review: storage, snapshots, backups and secrets
Logging, monitoring and detection coverage for the cloud control plane
Continuous posture monitoring (CSPM) with drift alerting

Frequently Asked Questions

Only for part of it. Under the shared responsibility model, AWS, Azure and GCP secure the infrastructure the cloud runs on. Everything you put in it, your data, identities, network configuration, access policies and workloads, is yours to secure. Most cloud breaches happen squarely on the customer side of that line, which is exactly where we test.

CSPM continuously scans your configuration and tells you what deviates from a benchmark. A cloud penetration test asks a different question: given these misconfigurations, what could an attacker actually reach? A test chains findings into real attack paths, which is how you learn that a low-severity exposed role is one hop from your production data. You want posture management for continuous hygiene and testing for proof.

No. We agree rules of engagement in advance, respect the cloud provider testing policies, and throttle any activity that could affect availability. Destructive checks are run against a non-production account where one exists, and you have a live contact channel with the testers throughout.

Yes. Multi-cloud is where posture drift is worst, because teams apply a baseline in one provider and never replicate it in the others. We assess AWS, Azure and GCP against the same standard, and cover Kubernetes and container workloads including RBAC, pod security, image provenance and the control plane.

By fixing them where they are created. Point fixes in the console get reverted by the next deployment, so we deliver remediation as infrastructure-as-code changes and guardrails (service control policies, Azure Policy, admission controllers) that prevent the misconfiguration being deployed at all, then add continuous posture monitoring to catch drift.

Primarily the CIS Foundations Benchmarks for AWS, Azure and GCP, alongside the provider well-architected security pillars. Where you have a compliance driver, we map findings to the relevant ISO 27001, SOC 2 or PCI DSS controls so one assessment serves both the security and the audit need.
