04 / CLOUD
Most breaches don't start with a hack. They start with a setting.
The majority of cloud incidents trace back to a misconfiguration, not a sophisticated attack, an open bucket, an over-permissioned role, a default left on. We find those gaps across your AWS, Azure, and GCP, and help you close them for good.
WHAT THIS IS
The cloud is secure. How you configured it might not be.
Cloud providers secure the infrastructure. What runs on top, your accounts, permissions, storage, and networking, is yours to secure, and that line is where most incidents happen. The provider's security does not cover your configuration of it.
We review how your cloud is actually set up against how it should be, find the gaps between convenient and secure, and give you a prioritised path to close them without breaking what works.
WHAT WE ASSESS
Four places cloud security quietly breaks.
Configuration & posture
Misconfigured storage, exposed services, default settings, and the drift that creeps in over time across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Identity & access (IAM)
Over-permissioned roles, unused credentials, and the access paths an attacker uses to move from a foothold to your crown jewels.
Network & exposure
What is reachable from the internet that should not be, segmentation gaps, and the services exposed by accident.
Containers & Kubernetes
Image vulnerabilities, insecure orchestration, and the misconfigurations specific to containerised workloads.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A prioritised fix list, not a wall of alerts.
Posture report
Where your cloud stands against security best practice and the relevant benchmarks, in plain language for the people who own the risk.
Prioritised findings
Each issue ranked by real exposure, with the actual blast radius if it were exploited, so you fix what matters first.
Remediation guidance
The specific change for each finding, written by engineers who run cloud infrastructure, not a generic "review your IAM policy."
Hardening roadmap
A path beyond the immediate fixes to a cloud that stays secure as it grows, including the guardrails that stop the gaps reopening.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You probably need this if...
- You moved to the cloud fast and have never had the setup independently reviewed.
- Your team owns infrastructure but security is not their specialty.
- You are pursuing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 and cloud configuration is in scope.
- You are not sure who has access to what, or what is exposed to the internet.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you ask on the call.
Isn't the cloud secure by default?
The provider's infrastructure is. Your configuration of it is not automatic. The shared-responsibility model means the settings, permissions, and exposure are yours to get right, and that is where most cloud breaches happen.
Which providers do you cover?
AWS, Azure, and GCP, the configuration, identity, networking, and container layers on each. If you run a mix, we assess across them.
Will this disrupt our running systems?
No. A cloud assessment is largely read and review against your configuration. We agree access and scope up front and work without touching production behaviour.
Do you just assess, or help us fix it?
Both. Because we run cloud infrastructure ourselves across the group, we can implement the hardening, not just recommend it.
How is this different from a penetration test?
A pen test attacks from the outside to see what breaks. A cloud assessment reviews how your environment is built from the inside. They are complementary, and many teams need both.
