Cloud Security
Misconfigured cloud environments are a top cause of breaches. We assess your AWS, Azure and GCP configuration for exploitable weaknesses, and show you what to fix first.
Who this is for
Engineering and security teams preparing for a release, a customer security review, or a procurement questionnaire — and anyone who needs to know what an attacker could actually reach.
Methodology
What We Test
- IAM roles, policies, and privilege escalation paths
- S3 buckets, storage blobs, and data exposure risks
- Serverless functions (Lambda/Azure Functions) and event triggers
- Kubernetes clusters (EKS/AKS/GKE) and container escape vectors
- VPC peering, security groups, and network segmentation
- CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) flaws
How We Test
We don't just run CSPM scans. We simulate compromised instances to test lateral movement. We attempt to pivot from public assets to internal resources using metadata services and weak permissions. We validate if alerts trigger on critical actions.
What You Receive
- Visual attack graph showing movement across services
- Terraform/CLI scripts to reproduce findings
- Impact analysis on data confidentiality and integrity
- Hardening guides for IAM and orchestration
How an engagement runs
-
Scope & authorisation
We agree exactly what is in scope, what is explicitly out, and the conditions under which we stop. Nothing starts without written authorisation from someone able to give it. NDA first if you want one.
-
Access & prerequisites
We tell you up front what we need — test accounts at each privilege level, a non-production environment where that applies, documentation, and a named technical contact. Missing prerequisites are the usual reason assessments slip.
-
Reconnaissance & threat modelling
We map the real attack surface and decide which paths are worth the time, based on how your system is actually built rather than a generic checklist.
-
Manual testing & validated exploitation
Testing is hands-on. Findings are reproduced before they are written up, so you are not sent unverified scanner output. Critical issues are raised as soon as we confirm them rather than held for the report.
-
Report & walkthrough
You get an executive summary your board can read and technical detail your engineers can act on — including reproduction steps, what we tested that held, and what was out of scope. We walk your team through it.
-
Retest
Once you have fixed the findings we retest them and confirm in writing what is closed. Retest scope and window are agreed in your scope document before the engagement begins.
