Cloud security assessment

Most cloud breaches start with a setting, not a hack.

A review of identity, storage, network and logging settings across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

Why teams call us

Problems this solves

  • 01

    Storage open to the internet

    A public bucket or blob container can expose customer data without any attack at all.

  • 02

    Too many people with admin rights

    Broad permissions and unused access keys turn one leaked credential into full access.

  • 03

    No logs when something goes wrong

    Without audit logging, you cannot tell what happened or prove what did not.

  • 04

    Accounts grew without a plan

    Projects, regions and environments added over time without a security baseline.

Our approach

Cloud providers secure the platform; you are responsible for how you configure it. We review your accounts against the CIS Benchmarks and the provider's own security best practices, and focus on the findings that most often lead to real incidents: identity, storage exposure, network rules and logging.

You receive a prioritised list with the exact setting, why it matters and how to fix it, and we can implement the fixes and set up guardrails so the same issues do not come back.

Industries

How an engagement runs

Every engagement starts with a signed agreement and an advance payment as set out in your proposal. Work begins once both are complete.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Accounts, subscriptions, projects and read-only access agreed.

  2. 02

    Assess

    Automated checks plus manual review of high-risk areas.

  3. 03

    Report

    Findings with priority, impact and exact fixes.

  4. 04

    Remediate

    Optional fixes and guardrails, then a re-check.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Ask us

What access do you need?
Read-only access through a dedicated role that you create and can remove at any time.
Do you cover Kubernetes?
Yes, managed Kubernetes services (EKS, AKS, GKE) can be included in scope.
Is this a penetration test?
It is a configuration review. It can be combined with a penetration test of the applications running in the cloud.
