Cloud Security Assessment & IAM Audit Services
Configuration, identity, and access architecture reviews across AWS, GCP, and Azure aligned with CIS Benchmarks. We eliminate IAM privilege creep, unauthenticated storage buckets, and infrastructure exposure.
Cloud-native SaaS, FinTech, and enterprise development teams.
IAM least privilege, storage bucket exposure, CIS Benchmarks & K8s RBAC.
IAM permission matrix, IaC remediation snippets & 30-day verified retest.
Who We Help
AWS / GCP Native SaaS
Startups scaling multi-account AWS Organizations or GCP Projects needing strict least-privilege IAM and CIS benchmark compliance.
FinTech & Banking Infrastructure
Financial workloads requiring strict network isolation, KMS envelope encryption, audit trail integrity, and RBI baseline alignment.
Kubernetes & Container Platforms
Teams running Amazon EKS, Google GKE, or self-hosted Docker clusters with microservice networking.
Startups Prepping for SOC 2
Engineering organizations needing technical cloud evidence, access control validation, and asset inventories for auditors.
What We Test in Cloud Infrastructure
IAM Least-Privilege & Credential Audit
Eliminating wildcard (*) permissions, reviewing over-privileged service roles, dormant access keys, and cross-account assume-role policies.
Cloud Storage & Database Exposure
Auditing AWS S3, GCP Cloud Storage, RDS, and Cloud SQL configurations for public read/write policies, default encryption, and snapshot backups.
CIS Cloud Benchmark Conformance
Benchmarking configurations against CIS AWS Foundations, CIS Google Cloud, and CIS Microsoft Azure benchmarks.
VPC Networking & Perimeter Security
Evaluating security groups, NACLs, public IP exposures, open database ports (3306, 5432), and API gateway TLS configurations.
KMS & Secrets Storage Review
Verifying that API keys, database credentials, and certificates are managed via AWS Secrets Manager / GCP Secret Manager rather than plaintext environment variables.
CloudTrail & Audit Logging Integrity
Validating multi-region CloudTrail/CloudWatch logging, S3 object-level logging, log file validation, and retention policies.
EKS / GKE & Container Security
Reviewing Pod Security Standards, RBAC bindings, container image vulnerability scanning, and host namespace isolation.
Terraform & CloudFormation SAST
Auditing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) repositories to catch security misconfigurations prior to staging/production deployment.

Q:How do you access our cloud environment to perform the audit?
We use read-only IAM cross-account roles or temporary audit credentials with least-privilege security audit policies (e.g., SecurityAudit on AWS or Viewer on GCP). We never require write or administrative access to your live infrastructure, ensuring zero disruption to production workloads.
Q:How long does a cloud security assessment take?
A standard cloud architecture and IAM assessment takes 4 to 6 business days depending on account count and architectural breadth.
Q:Can this assessment satisfy SOC 2 or ISO 27001 technical cloud control requirements?
Yes. Our cloud assessment deliverables map directly to SOC 2 CC6.1–CC6.8 controls and ISO 27001 Annex A.9–A.13 technical requirements, providing audit-ready evidence for external compliance reviewers.
Q:Is retesting included after our DevOps engineers apply the fixes?
Yes. Retesting within 30 days is included to verify that all highlighted IAM, storage, and networking misconfigurations have been completely resolved.
