Cloud Security

Your cloud is only as secure as your configuration.

Misconfigured cloud environments are the leading cause of data breaches. We audit your AWS, GCP, and Azure infrastructure for identity misconfigurations, exposed services, insecure storage, and lateral movement paths — then help you harden them before attackers find them first.

Cloud Security Assessment Process

  1. Asset Discovery & Inventory

    Comprehensive mapping of your cloud footprint — compute, storage, networking, databases, serverless functions, managed services, and all accounts and subscriptions.

  2. Configuration & Compliance Review

    Systematic review of resource configurations against CIS Benchmarks, NIST, and provider security best practices — identifying misconfigurations before attackers do.

  3. Identity & Access Management (IAM) Audit

    Deep analysis of user, role, and service principal permissions. Identifying overprivileged accounts, unused roles, cross-account risks, and privilege escalation paths.

  4. Network & Perimeter Assessment

    Reviewing VPC/VNet configurations, security groups, firewall rules, publicly exposed services, and network segmentation to identify unintended exposure.

  5. Cloud Penetration Testing

    Active testing of your cloud environment — attempting real exploitation of misconfigurations, IAM weaknesses, and exposed services to demonstrate actual impact.

  6. Hardening Roadmap & Re-Validation

    A prioritized remediation plan with specific commands and configuration changes. We validate the fixes and help you integrate CSPM tooling for ongoing monitoring.

Built for Organizations That Take Security Seriously.

  • Companies running production workloads on AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Engineering teams who have grown their cloud footprint quickly without dedicated security review
  • Organizations preparing for SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 cloud control audits
  • Startups migrating from on-premise to cloud-first infrastructure
  • Enterprises with multi-cloud or hybrid environments and complex IAM structures
  • DevOps and platform teams who want to automate cloud security controls
