Infrastructure Security Consulting
Cloud security posture review for AWS, Azure and GCP
Most cloud breaches start with configuration, not clever exploits: an over-permissive role, a public bucket, logging that was never switched on. We review how your accounts are set up and give you a prioritised plan to close the gaps.
Who this is for
For teams that need a clear view of their cloud security
Cloud environments grow quickly and settings drift as teams move fast. A posture review gives you an independent, evidence-based picture of where you stand and what to fix first.
Scale-ups whose accounts grew faster than their guardrails
Several teams, several accounts, and no single view of who can do what.
Teams preparing for a customer security review
You need to answer detailed questions about your cloud setup with confidence.
Organisations running across more than one cloud
You want consistent standards across AWS, Azure and GCP rather than three different ones.
What we do
What we review
We use read-only access and a mix of tooling and manual review. Typical areas include:
Identity and access
Root and admin usage, role and policy scope, MFA, long-lived keys, cross-account trust and single sign-on.
Network exposure
Public endpoints, security groups and firewall rules, segmentation and private connectivity.
Data protection
Encryption at rest and in transit, key management, backups and storage that is publicly reachable.
Logging and detection
Audit trails, log retention, threat detection services and whether anyone would notice an incident.
Workload configuration
Compute, containers, Kubernetes and serverless settings, image hygiene and secrets handling.
Baseline comparison
Findings mapped to the CIS Benchmarks and provider well-architected security guidance, used as references.
What you get
Findings you can prioritise
Everything is written for your engineers and kept in a format you can track.
- Prioritised findings. each issue ranked by risk, with affected resources and evidence.
- Remediation plan. fixes grouped into quick wins and planned work, with suggested owners.
- Baseline mapping. how your setup compares with the referenced benchmarks.
- Walkthrough session. a call with your team to agree priorities and answer questions.
How it works
How a posture review works
Step 01
Scope
We agree accounts, subscriptions or projects in scope and set up read-only access.
Step 02
Review
Automated checks and manual review of the areas above, with urgent issues raised straight away.
Step 03
Plan
We deliver findings and a remediation plan, then walk your team through them. [TBD: typical duration]
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Read-only access to the accounts in scope is enough for the review. We do not change anything unless you ask us to help with remediation.
No. A posture review looks at how your cloud is configured; a penetration test actively tries to exploit weaknesses. Many teams run both.
No. We use the CIS Benchmarks and provider guidance as references to measure against. The review shows where you differ and what to change; it is not a certification.
