Cloud security assessments and advisory.
Cloud platforms make it easy to build quickly — and just as easy to leave a storage bucket public, an admin role unused but active, or logging switched off. We review how your cloud environment is configured and governed, and explain what to fix first.
Your provider secures the cloud. You secure what you put in it.
Under the shared responsibility model, the provider is responsible for the underlying infrastructure, while you remain responsible for identities, configuration, data, network rules and the workloads you deploy. Most cloud security issues sit on the customer side of that line.
As accounts, subscriptions and teams multiply, it becomes hard to see who can do what, what is exposed to the internet, and whether logs would tell you if something went wrong.
Who it is for
- SaaS teams running on AWS or Azure
- Organizations mid-migration to the cloud
- Hybrid on-premises and cloud estates
- Teams preparing for SOC 2 or ISO/IEC 27001
- Businesses after rapid growth or an acquisition
Assessment and advisory activities.
- Architecture walkthrough with your engineers
- Tool-assisted configuration checks across the agreed scope
- Manual review of identity, privileged access and network exposure
- Validation of findings with your team
- Prioritization against business impact
- Advice during remediation and re-checks, where agreed
Eleven areas, selected to fit your scope.
- Architecture & shared responsibilityHow workloads are structured and who is responsible for what.
- Identity, roles & MFAUsers, roles, privileged access and multi-factor authentication.
- Resource configurationSettings that differ from secure baselines.
- Network exposure & segmentationWhat is reachable from the internet and between environments.
- Storage & database accessWho and what can read or change your data.
- Logging & monitoringWhether key activity is recorded, retained and reviewed.
- Secrets & key managementHow credentials and encryption keys are stored and rotated.
- Backup & recoveryCoverage, isolation and restore testing.
- Vulnerability & patch managementHow weaknesses in images and hosts are found and fixed.
- Deployment pipeline securityPermissions and safeguards in CI/CD that touch the cloud.
- Governance & account structureAccounts, subscriptions, policies and guardrails.

Cloud Security Assessments FAQ
Do you need administrator access?
No. Assessments are normally performed with read-only access agreed during scoping. We do not make changes to your environment unless that is explicitly agreed.
Is this the same as a penetration test?
No. A cloud assessment reviews configuration and governance. A penetration test actively attempts to exploit weaknesses within an authorized scope. The two can be combined.
Which cloud platforms do you review?
AWS and Microsoft Azure are examples of platforms that may be reviewed. [Owner to confirm other supported platforms]
Can you help fix the findings?
Yes, where agreed. We can advise your engineers during remediation and re-check fixed items.
