Service — Cloud Security
Cloud Infrastructure Security Assessment
Most cloud breaches don't involve a zero-day exploit — they involve a misconfigured bucket, an over-privileged role, or a secret sitting in a pipeline log. We go looking for exactly that.
Why it matters
Misconfiguration, not malware, is the leading cause of cloud breaches.
As environments grow across multiple accounts, teams, and services, permission sprawl and configuration drift happen quietly — until an attacker (or a researcher) finds the one exposed resource or overly broad IAM role that opens everything up.
Where it applies
Anywhere your infrastructure lives in someone else's data center.
- AWS, Azure, and GCP production environments
- Multi-account and multi-team cloud organizations
- Kubernetes and containerized workloads
- CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
- GPU and model-serving infrastructure
- Cloud migrations and re-architecture projects
- Periodic cloud security posture reviews
Our methodology
We validate attack paths — not just flag misconfigurations.
A configuration scanner will hand you a list of hundreds of findings. We go further: tracing which of those actually chain together into a real path to your data, and which are just noise.
- 01
Cloud Architecture & IAM Review
Mapping accounts, roles, and trust relationships across your cloud environment.
- 02
Configuration & Exposure Review
Manual review of storage, network, and service configurations — going past automated scan output.
- 03
Privilege Escalation Path Mapping
Identifying specific IAM misconfigurations that let a low-privilege identity escalate to broad account control.
- 04
Cross-Service Attack Path Validation
Testing how a weakness in one service can be used to pivot into another — the way a real intruder would.
- 05
Pipeline & Secrets Exposure Review
Checking CI/CD pipelines and deployment tooling for exposed credentials and insecure automation.
- 06
Reporting & Hardening Plan
A prioritized hardening roadmap focused on the paths that actually matter, not a raw configuration dump.
Standards & compliance
Mapped to cloud-specific and enterprise frameworks.
- CIS Cloud Benchmarks
- ISO 27001
- SOC 2
- NIST CSF
- Shared Responsibility Alignment
