About Cloud Security Assessment
Why structured, proactive security testing is essential for your organization
Definition & Approach
A cloud security assessment reviews your cloud accounts, identities, networks, workloads and data stores against industry benchmarks such as CIS, NIST and the cloud providers' own best practice.
- Configuration and identity review
- Network and data exposure testing
- Compliance mapping (ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS)
Business Urgency
Misconfigured cloud services are one of the most common causes of data breaches. Regular assessments reduce your risk, support your compliance and keep customers and auditors confident.
Holistic Protection Across Every Attack Surface
Our testing methodologies evaluate entry points, authentication mechanisms, network boundaries, and business logic.
What our cloud security assessment covers
Single cloud or multi-cloud, we review the full environment from identity to workload.
Identity & Access Review
Find over-privileged users, unused keys and weak MFA coverage.
Storage & Data Exposure
Detect public buckets, unencrypted volumes and leaking secrets.
Network & Perimeter Security
Review security groups, firewalls, VPC design and internet-facing services.
Compute & Container Security
Assess virtual machines, containers and Kubernetes clusters for hardening gaps.
Logging, Monitoring & Detection
Check that audit logs, alerts and incident response give you real visibility.
Compliance & Benchmark Mapping
Map findings to CIS, NIST, ISO 27001, GDPR and PCI DSS controls.
