Service / Assess

Find the identity paths and misconfigurations an attacker could use in your cloud.

Cloud environments change quickly and permissions accumulate quietly. With read-only access to the accounts you choose, we find the identity paths, misconfigurations and exposed services, and rank them by what an attacker could do with them.

Overview

What cloud security assessment is for.

Many cloud incidents trace back to configuration and identity rather than novel exploits: an overly broad role, a storage bucket made public for a test, a forgotten administrative endpoint. These issues are often invisible from outside the account.

The assessment examines how identity, network, storage, logging and key management are configured, and how those settings combine. Findings are ranked by exploitability and impact, each with the configuration evidence behind it.

Suited to

  • Organizations moving significant workloads to the cloud
  • Environments that have grown quickly across many accounts or teams
  • Preparing for an external audit by understanding your current position
  • After an incident or near miss involving cloud resources

Typically in scope

  • Identity and access management, including privilege escalation paths
  • Network exposure and internet-facing services
  • Storage and data exposure settings
  • Logging, monitoring and alerting configuration
  • Key and secret management
  • Account and organization-level guardrails

Approach

How the work is done.

The steps every engagement follows, at the level we share publicly.

  1. 01

    Agree scope and access

    Confirm the accounts in scope and provision a least-privilege, read-only role for the assessment.
  2. 02

    Review configuration

    Examine identity, network, storage, logging and key management settings against good practice and your own policies.
  3. 03

    Analyze combined risk

    Look for chains: how a minor misconfiguration combines with a permission to create a serious path.
  4. 04

    Prioritize and report

    Rate findings by exploitability and impact, with configuration evidence and specific remediation.

Deliverables

What you receive.

Deliverables are confirmed in writing during scoping, so you know exactly what to expect before the work begins.

01Findings by control area
Identity, network, storage, logging and key management, each with evidence from your configuration.
02Risk-ordered remediation
Specific changes, ordered by the risk they reduce and the effort they need.
03Identity path analysis
Where relevant, the privilege paths that most need attention.
04Guardrail recommendations
Preventive controls that stop the same issues from returning.

Before we start

What we need, and what is not included.

What we need from you

  • Written authorization from the owner of each account in scope
  • A read-only assessment role with the permissions agreed during scoping
  • A list of the accounts, subscriptions or projects in scope
  • Confirmation of the cloud platforms involved, so coverage can be agreed in advance

Not included

  • Changes to your environment. The assessment is read-only.
  • A compliance audit or certification against a specific framework.
  • Penetration testing of cloud-hosted applications, which is scoped separately.

Questions

What teams ask before scoping.

Which cloud platforms do you cover?

Platform coverage is confirmed during scoping, before any commitment, so the assessment matches the environments you run.

Do you need write access?

No. The assessment uses a read-only role with the minimum permissions needed, agreed in advance.

Is this the same as a compliance audit?

No. The assessment ranks findings by exploitability and impact. They can support compliance work, but it does not certify compliance with any framework.

Cloud Security Assessment

Start with the cloud accounts that matter most.

Name the accounts, what they run and any deadline. We will propose a scope. The review is read-only and begins only with written authorization.
