Cloud Security Assessment
Assessment of AWS, Azure and GCP environments — identity and access, storage exposure, network configuration, secrets, containers and the privilege-escalation paths that connect them.
Why this assessment matters
Cloud environments accumulate permissions, public resources and dormant services quickly. A single over-privileged role, a public bucket or a long-lived credential can chain into broader compromise — often without triggering an obvious alert.
What We Test
Typical coverage for this assessment, tailored to your system during scoping.
- IAM
- Storage
- Network configuration
- Secrets
- Containers
- Serverless
- Logging
- Monitoring
- Misconfiguration
- Privilege escalation paths
How the Assessment Runs
A consistent six-stage process — every stage produces something you can use.
-
Discover
Inventory accounts, projects, subscriptions, resources, identities and trust relationships across the environment.
-
Assess
Review IAM policies and roles, storage and network exposure, secrets handling, logging coverage, container and serverless configuration.
-
Validate
Where safe and authorized, demonstrate the practical impact of a misconfiguration — for example, what an over-privileged role can actually reach.
-
Report
Present findings as attack paths with blast radius, not as isolated checklist items, plus prioritized remediation.
-
Remediate
Support least-privilege rollouts, network tightening and detective-control improvements.
-
Retest
Re-verify remediated paths and confirm new guardrails hold.
Typical Findings
Realistic issue classes commonly discovered during this type of assessment. Your results depend on your system — we do not imply guaranteed findings.
- Over-privileged roles and privilege-escalation paths
- Publicly accessible storage or databases
- Long-lived credentials and secrets in code or CI
- Missing encryption or weak key management
- Overly permissive network exposure
- Gaps in logging, monitoring and alerting
- Insecure container registry or serverless configuration
- Cross-account trust relationships that widen blast radius
Deliverables
Everything needed to understand, prioritize and fix what we find.
- Resource and identity inventory
- Attack-path analysis with blast-radius context
- Misconfiguration findings with evidence and platform references
- Prioritized remediation roadmap
- Retest verification of corrected configurations

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cloud providers do you support?
AWS, Azure and GCP. If you run a multi-cloud or hybrid estate we scope the assessment across environments and prioritize by exposure.
Do you need read-only access?
A read-only role covering configuration and IAM data is usually sufficient for the core assessment. Any action that changes state requires separate explicit approval and is avoided by default.
Is this a compliance audit?
No. We assess real risk and exploitability. We can map findings to common frameworks where useful, but the goal is finding what an attacker could actually use, not passing a checklist.
