# Cloud Security Assessment

> AWS, Azure & GCP configuration and architecture review.

Most cloud breaches are misconfigurations, not zero-days. We review your AWS, Azure or GCP environment - IAM, network, storage, logging and workload posture - against CIS Benchmarks and well-architected security principles.

## Outcomes

- IAM and least-privilege review
- Network, storage and encryption posture
- Logging, monitoring and detection gaps
- CIS Benchmark conformance scoring

## Process

01. **Discovery** - Read-only access and asset inventory across accounts/subscriptions.
02. **Configuration review** - IAM, network, data and workload posture against CIS Benchmarks.
03. **Threat modeling** - Identify exploitable paths and privilege-escalation routes.
04. **Roadmap** - Prioritized hardening roadmap with quick wins.

## Deliverables

- Cloud posture report with CIS scoring
- Prioritized hardening roadmap
- IaC / policy recommendations

## Standards

CIS Benchmarks, AWS/Azure/GCP Well-Architected, ISO 27001


## Overview

The vast majority of cloud breaches are a result of misconfigurations, overly permissive identity roles, and exposed data buckets, not zero-day exploits. Securing a modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) requires a deep understanding of cloud-native control planes, IAM relationships, and ephemeral workloads.

We perform highly comprehensive cloud security assessments combining automated posture analysis with manual configuration reviews. We audit your identity policies, network security groups, database encryption settings, and Kubernetes clusters against CIS Benchmarks to shut down attack paths before they can be exploited.


## What we cover

### IAM & Privilege Escalation
Analyzing IAM roles, policies, and trust relationships to detect privilege escalation paths.

### Storage & Databases
Reviewing S3, Blob Storage, RDS, and DynamoDB configurations for public exposure and encryption gaps.

### Network & Firewalls
Auditing Security Groups, VPC peering, load balancers, and ingress control points for unauthorized exposure.

### Container & K8s Posture
Assessing EKS/AKS/GKE cluster configurations, pod security policies, and container registry settings.

### Logging & Threat Detection
Ensuring CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and security center logging are active and configured with alerts.

### IaC & Drift Analysis
Reviewing Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible code templates for security best practices.


## FAQ

**Do you need admin access?**
Read-only security-auditor access is sufficient for most reviews; we scope precisely with your team.
