Cloud Security Audit

We audit cloud controls, identity, storage and networking to find misconfigurations that expose data, enable lateral movement or break compliance.

// Why this assessment matters

Security context before security testing.

Cloud environments change quickly and distribute trust across identities, resources, networks, pipelines and managed services. Small permission or configuration errors can create public exposure or powerful privilege-escalation paths.

We combine configuration review with attacker-minded privilege analysis. The audit follows identities and data across accounts, subscriptions or projects to identify how an exposed workload or compromised principal could expand access.

Strong reasons to engage
01

Cloud usage has grown faster than centralized governance

02

Multiple accounts, subscriptions or projects share identities and data

03

Kubernetes, serverless or CI/CD systems hold powerful credentials

04

CIS, ISO 27001 or customer assurance evidence is required

// Testing coverage

What our specialists examine.

Coverage is adapted to your architecture and risk profile. These modules form the baseline for a complete cloud security audit.

01

Identity and access management

Users, roles, service principals, policies, trust relationships and privilege-escalation paths.

02

Storage and data exposure

Buckets, blobs, snapshots, databases, backups, public access and encryption configuration.

03

Network and workload posture

Security groups, firewalls, load balancers, public services, metadata access and workload identity.

04

Containers and orchestration

Kubernetes RBAC, cluster exposure, secrets, registries, runtime configuration and node trust.

05

Logging and detection

Audit trails, control-plane logging, alert coverage, retention and security-service configuration.

06

CI/CD and secret paths

Pipeline permissions, deployment identities, repositories, secret stores and artifact trust.

// Preparing for kickoff

What we need to begin efficiently.

Perfect documentation is not required. A clear starting point helps us confirm scope, reduce setup time and spend more of the engagement testing the risks that matter.

Scope01

Assets and boundaries

A current list of the cloud security audit assets, environments and exclusions that should be covered.

Access02

Representative access

Read-only and test roles, plus the roles, accounts or technical context needed to test realistic trust boundaries.

Safety03

Operational contacts

A technical owner, emergency contact, approved testing window and any production constraints we should follow.

Context04

Architecture and priorities

Relevant diagrams, recent changes, high-value workflows and known concerns help us focus effort where failure matters most.

Not sure what is in scope?

Share your architecture or business objective. We will help turn it into a practical assessment boundary and testing plan.

// How the work happens

A controlled assessment with clear checkpoints.

You know what is being tested, what has been proven and what your team needs to do next throughout the engagement.

Testing standardCIS BENCHMARKS · CSA CCM
01

Cloud asset mapping

We inventory cloud identities, services, storage and network exposure before testing.

02

Configuration auditing

We review IAM, storage, compute and orchestration posture for misconfigurations.

03

Remediation and governance

We provide a prioritized cloud security roadmap aligned to CIS and CSA controls.

04

Report, debrief and retest

We explain the attack paths, support remediation and verify submitted fixes with updated evidence.

// What you receive

Evidence your teams can actually use.

The output is designed for remediation, decision-making and assurance, not just for archiving after the test.

01

Cloud posture report

Prioritized configuration and architecture findings with resource-level evidence.

02

Privilege-escalation analysis

Documented identity chains showing how permissions can combine into broader access.

03

Exposure inventory

Public and cross-account resources, sensitive storage and high-risk network paths.

04

Control-framework mapping

Relevant findings mapped to CIS benchmarks, CSA guidance and agreed compliance controls.

05

Cloud hardening roadmap

Sequenced remediation actions for immediate risk reduction and longer-term governance.

// When to engage

Bring us in when the decision carries real risk.

Cloud adoption01

Review a new landing zone

Validate identity, networking, logging and account foundations before workloads scale.

Platform assurance02

Audit a mature multi-account estate

Find accumulated permission, exposure and governance gaps across business units.

Container security03

Assess Kubernetes and CI/CD trust

Review cluster permissions, workload identity, registries and deployment pipelines.

// Built for every stakeholder

One assessment. Clear outcomes for every team involved.

The same technical evidence is translated into the context each audience needs to make decisions, implement fixes and demonstrate assurance.

01
Engineering teams

Reproduce and resolve findings faster.

Receive evidence, root-cause context and practical remediation guidance directly from the specialists who performed the work.

02
Security leaders

Prioritize risk with defensible context.

Understand exploitability, attack paths, systemic control gaps and the fixes that reduce the most meaningful exposure.

03
Leadership and auditors

Use clear evidence for assurance decisions.

Get an executive view, standards mapping and verified closure status that can support governance, customer and audit conversations.

// Engagement safeguards

Security testing conducted with operational discipline.

A strong assessment must protect the systems and information it is intended to secure. These controls apply throughout the engagement.

01

Written authorization

Scope, permitted techniques, excluded assets and responsible contacts are agreed before any assessment activity begins.

02

Controlled execution

Testing follows defined windows, rate limits and production-safe rules with an immediate escalation and stop process.

03

Protected evidence

Engagement data and proof are access-controlled, handled confidentially and retained only for the agreed period.

04

Verified communication

Critical issues are escalated as soon as they are confirmed, with direct access to the specialist for remediation questions.

// Common questions

What teams ask before kickoff.

We finalize scope, access and safety controls before testing. These are the questions we answer most often for this service.

What cloud access do you require?
We normally begin with purpose-built read-only roles and request limited test permissions only where active validation is approved.
Is this only a CIS configuration review?
No. Benchmarks support coverage, but we also analyze architecture, identity chains and realistic attacker paths specific to your environment.
Can you assess multiple cloud providers?
Yes. We can review AWS, Azure and GCP independently or assess trust and data movement across a multi-cloud estate.
