What does the assessment include?

Identity, network, data protection, logging/monitoring, resource configuration, and governance/compliance mapping — with a prioritized remediation plan.

How long does it take?

Most assessments complete in 2–4 weeks, depending on scope and account count.

Will it disrupt operations?

No. We use read-only access and do not change configurations during the assessment.

Do you help with remediation?

Yes. The Program and Managed tiers include hands-on guidance, templates, and working sessions to accelerate fixes.

How often should we reassess?

At least annually; quarterly for regulated or rapidly changing environments. Managed covers this cadence.

Can you map to SOC 2/HIPAA/PCI/ISO?

Yes. Findings and evidence are mapped to your frameworks; auditors get exactly what they need.

Do you cover containers/serverless?

Yes — EKS/AKS/GKE, Lambda/Functions/Cloud Functions, registries, images, and runtime considerations.

Can we get a sample report?

Yes — request a redacted sample to review structure, scoring, and recommended fixes.

80% of Cloud Breaches Are Misconfigurations — Not Zero-Day Exploits

Shared responsibility means your provider secures the platform; you must secure configurations, identities, and data. Over-permissive IAM, public buckets, flat networks, and missing logs are the real breach paths. We find them, rank them, and give you a clear plan to fix them — fast.

80%

of cloud breaches trace to misconfiguration

IAM

sprawl & privilege escalation are top cloud risks

Log Gaps

delay incident detection and response

Deep Coverage Across Identity, Network, Data, and Operations

Identity & Access (IAM/RBAC)

Excessive permissions, admin sprawl, unused roles/users, service accounts
MFA/conditional access, key rotation, secrets hygiene
Privilege escalation paths, cross-account trust policies

Network Security & Segmentation

VPC/VNet design, peering, routing, private endpoints
Security groups/NSGs, NACLs, inbound/outbound egress control
Public exposure checks, lateral movement risk

Data Protection & Encryption

At-rest & in-transit encryption, KMS/Key Vault/Cloud KMS usage & rotation
Storage buckets/blob containers, DB hardening, backup & restore posture
DLP & sensitive data locations

Logging, Monitoring & Detection

CloudTrail/Activity Logs, Defender/Sentinel/Security Command Center
Log retention, integrity, alerting, and response coverage
Coverage gaps (regions, accounts, projects, subscriptions)

Resource Configuration & Posture

Compute (EC2/VMSS/GCE), containers (EKS/AKS/GKE), serverless (Lambda/Functions/Cloud Functions)
Image baselines, patch posture, runtime security controls
IaC drift (if applicable)

Governance & Compliance

CIS Benchmarks per platform, tagging/ownership, guardrails
Mapping to NIST CSF, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS (as applicable)
