Cloud accounts drift into risky states — over-permissive IAM, open ports, public buckets, no guardrails — and teams lack the time or specialist eyes to catch it.
A prioritized list of real, exploitable weaknesses with clear fixes, plus hands-on hardening of the highest-risk issues.
What it is
The Cloud Security Assessment & Hardening service is a fixed-scope engagement that answers a direct question with evidence: where is your cloud actually exposed, and what should you fix first?
We review the environment the way an attacker and an auditor both would — looking at how identities are granted access, what is reachable from the internet, how data is protected, and whether you would even see an incident if one happened. Then we don’t just hand you a report: we roll up our sleeves and help harden the highest-risk issues.
What we look at
- Identity and access — IAM users, roles, policies, and permissions, checked against least-privilege principles.
- Exposure — internet-facing services, open ports, public storage buckets, and unsecured endpoints.
- Data protection — encryption at rest and in transit, secrets handling, and key management.
- Detection and guardrails — logging, monitoring, alerting, and preventative controls so problems surface early.
How it works
- Scoping — we agree on the accounts, workloads, and cloud providers in scope.
- Assessment — we run a structured review across identity, network, data, and monitoring, using both tooling and manual analysis.
- Report — you get findings ranked by severity, each with a concrete remediation step.
- Hardening — we work alongside your team to fix the top-severity issues, not just describe them.
We validate that a control is genuinely enforced, not merely enabled — a permission boundary or firewall rule is only real if it holds up when tested.
Who it’s for
SMB and mid-market teams running production workloads on AWS or across multiple clouds who want specialist eyes on their security posture without hiring a full-time cloud security team.
