Cloud Security Assessment — Find What Your Cloud Provider Won't Tell You

A thorough review of your Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud, or GCP environment. Misconfigurations found, CIS Benchmarks mapped, and a prioritised remediation roadmap delivered.

Find Hidden Misconfigurations

Most cloud breaches stem from misconfigurations, not sophisticated attacks. We identify overly permissive IAM roles, exposed storage, disabled logging, and weak network controls your team may have missed.

>

CIS Benchmarks Mapped

Every finding is mapped against CIS Benchmarks — the industry-standard security baselines for Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud, and GCP — giving you a clear compliance baseline.

Prioritised Remediation Roadmap

Not just a list of findings — a roadmap ranked by exploitability and business impact so your team knows exactly what to fix first and why.

Why Cloud Security Assessments Matter

The shared responsibility model means your cloud provider secures the infrastructure, but everything you build on top of it — identity and access management, network configuration, storage permissions, encryption settings, logging, and monitoring — is your responsibility. The majority of cloud breaches are not caused by provider failures; they're caused by customer misconfigurations. A cloud security assessment identifies these exposures before attackers do.

Our cloud security assessments cover Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud, and GCP environments against CIS Benchmarks — the industry-standard security configuration baselines. We go beyond automated scanning to provide contextual analysis of your specific architecture, identifying misconfigurations that tools alone miss: overly permissive IAM roles, unencrypted data stores, exposed management interfaces, missing network segmentation, inadequate logging, and weak identity federation configurations.

Cloud misconfigurations are responsible for billions of dollars in breach costs annually. Research consistently shows that misconfigured cloud storage, excessive permissions, and disabled logging are among the top attack vectors in cloud environments. Whether you're running a single-cloud or multi-cloud architecture, our assessment gives you a clear, prioritised view of your actual risk exposure — not just a list of findings, but a roadmap ranked by exploitability and business impact.

Our assessments are led by CISSP-certified professionals with hands-on experience across all major cloud platforms. We combine manual expert review with AI-augmented analysis to deliver comprehensive coverage in 2-3 weeks, including a detailed technical report, executive summary, and a prioritised remediation roadmap your team can action immediately.

Is This Right for Your Organisation?

A cloud security assessment is essential for any organisation running production workloads in Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud, or GCP — especially if you haven't had an independent review of your cloud configuration. If your cloud environment was set up organically over time, inherited from a previous team, or has never been assessed against CIS Benchmarks, there are almost certainly misconfigurations that expose your business to risk.

This assessment is particularly valuable for organisations preparing for compliance audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, Essential Eight), undergoing rapid cloud expansion, migrating between cloud providers, or responding to a security incident. If you're a CTO, Head of Engineering, or IT Manager who needs confidence that your cloud is configured securely, this assessment provides the evidence and action plan you need.

Cloud Security Assessment FAQ

Which cloud platforms do you assess?

We assess Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud, and Google Cloud Platform. We also handle multi-cloud environments where your infrastructure spans multiple providers. Each platform is assessed against its specific CIS Benchmark.

What standards do you assess against?

We assess primarily against CIS Benchmarks for each cloud platform — the industry-standard security configuration baselines. We also map findings to relevant compliance frameworks including ISO 27001, SOC 2, Essential Eight, NIST CSF, and PCI-DSS where applicable to your requirements.

How long does the assessment take?

A standard single-cloud assessment takes 2-3 weeks from access provisioning to final report delivery. Multi-cloud assessments or larger environments may take 3-4 weeks. We provide a clear timeline during the scoping stage.

Do you help with remediation?

Yes. The assessment includes a prioritised remediation roadmap with specific, actionable steps for each finding. If you need hands-on support to implement the remediations, we offer follow-on remediation engagements at a separate rate. Many clients use their existing engineering team to action the roadmap with our guidance.
