Cloud Security
Cloud security assessments that identify misconfigured storage and over-permissioned roles across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and hybrid environments.

Most findings in a cloud environment are not exploits. They are configuration issues: a bucket policy containing a wildcard, a role able to assume another role with broad read access, a security group opened for a debugging session and never closed. We assess AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and hybrid environments from the position of an attacker holding a single leaked credential, and establish what that credential can reach, directly and through chained access. Your provider secures the hardware and the hypervisor. Everything above that layer is your responsibility, and that is where incidents occur.
Where the risk concentrates
Identity comes first. Permissions accumulate over time: a contractor role that outlives the contract, a build service account granted broader access than required and never narrowed. We then examine data at rest and in transit, network exposure, and whether your logging would allow an incident to be reconstructed after the fact. Compliance requirements sit above all of this, and mapping controls to a benchmark is a far shorter exercise once the environment itself is sound.
Our Approach
Architecture Review
We review the environment itself, not only scan output: how workloads are segmented, where trust boundaries sit between accounts and subscriptions, and which paths lead from internet-facing services to your data stores. The deliverable is a map of what an attacker could actually traverse.
Automated Analysis
Tooling enumerates IAM policies, storage permissions, network rules and encryption settings across every enabled region. Analysts then review the output, because a flag on an over-permissive policy becomes a finding only once its actual reach has been established.
DevOps Integration
Remediation arrives as changes your engineers can apply directly: the corrected policy document, the setting to change, the pipeline guardrail that prevents the same issue from shipping again. Findings that exist only in a report tend to be fixed once and later reintroduced.
Continuous Monitoring
Cloud environments drift. New services are enabled and permissions are widened under deadline pressure, so a point-in-time assessment begins to age as soon as it is delivered. We can remain engaged to review changes and re-test the controls that matter across your accounts.
Cloud Platforms & Services
AWS
Identity & Access Management (IAM), S3, EC2, Lambda, RDS, and more.
Azure
Active Directory, Storage, Virtual Machines, App Services, and more.
Google Cloud
IAM, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Kubernetes Engine, and more.
Multi-cloud
Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud security strategies.
Where audit evidence is required, we map findings against CIS, NIST and CSA STAR benchmarks.
Key Threats & Controls
Misconfigurations
Storage readable by anyone with the URL, management ports exposed to the internet, and IAM policies with wildcard access in place of named resources.
Excessive Permissions
Roles able to assume other roles, service accounts holding more access than their function requires, and no record of who granted what.
Data Breaches
Unencrypted volumes, APIs that authenticate callers without enforcing authorization, and third parties holding keys to your data.
Cloud-native Attacks
Container escapes, compromised images pulled into your registry, and serverless functions running with permissions beyond what the code requires.
Controls
Policy enforced through automation rather than manual configuration, encryption applied by default at the account level, and logging designed to withstand tampering, supported by an incident response plan that defines who holds the console access to act.
