Cloud Security Assessment
Most cloud breaches come down to misconfiguration, not exotic exploits — an over-permissioned role, a public storage bucket, an exposed management port. I review your AWS or Azure environment against established benchmarks to find these issues, explain the blast radius of each, and give you concrete, least-privilege remediation steps.
What this assessment covers
A focused, manual-led engagement scoped to your environment. Every finding is validated and documented with clear remediation guidance.
- AWS, Azure & cloud configuration reviews
- Identity & access management
- Storage security
- Network exposure
- Cloud misconfigurations
- Security posture assessment
Identity & Access
- IAM users, roles & policy review
- Privilege-escalation paths
- MFA & root/break-glass account hygiene
Data & Storage
- Public bucket & blob exposure
- Encryption at rest & in transit
- Snapshot & backup access
Network
- Security groups & NSG review
- Exposed management ports
- VPC/VNet segmentation
Posture
- Logging & monitoring coverage
- Secrets management
- Benchmark alignment (CIS-style)
What you get out of it
The point of a test isn't a long list of issues — it's a clearer, safer, more defensible product.
Right-size identity and access
IAM roles, policies, and trust relationships are reviewed to eliminate over-privilege and risky escalation paths.
Close public exposure
Storage, databases, and network controls are checked so nothing sensitive is reachable from the public internet by mistake.
Benchmark your posture
Findings are mapped to recognised best practices, giving you a clear baseline and a prioritised path to improvement.
Common questions
What access do you need?
A scoped, read-only audit role is typically sufficient for a configuration review. The exact permissions are agreed in advance and revoked on completion.
Do you cover more than one cloud?
Yes. AWS and Azure are covered, and multi-cloud estates can be assessed together for a consolidated view.
Is this a penetration test or a review?
It is primarily a configuration and posture review. Targeted exploitation of identified issues can be added where authorised.
