Cloud Security
Assessment
Comprehensive security review and adversarial testing of AWS, Azure, M365 and GCP environments — identifying misconfigurations, IAM weaknesses, and exploitation paths before attackers do.
Cloud environments introduce a fundamentally different attack surface — one where a single misconfigured IAM policy, public S3 bucket, or overly permissive service principal can expose an entire estate. Our cloud security assessments combine automated configuration review with manual adversarial testing to identify and exploit real attack paths.
We support AWS, Microsoft Azure (including Entra ID / Azure AD), Microsoft 365 and Google Cloud Platform, delivering assessments aligned against industry best practice such as CIS cloud benchmarks, and cloud-provider security frameworks. Our approach goes beyond configuration scanning — we attempt to actually exploit the issues we find, demonstrating realistic business impact.
Cloud and identity misconfigurations are often invisible to traditional security teams. We bring cloud-native attacker tooling and Entra ID expertise to surface the paths that your own teams may not have considered — including hybrid attack paths that bridge on-premises environments into the cloud.
Identity & Access Management Review
Comprehensive analysis of IAM users, roles, policies, and permission boundaries. We identify over-permissive policies, wildcard permissions, unused credentials, privilege escalation paths, and cross-account trust relationships.
Storage & Data Exposure
Enumeration of S3 buckets, Azure Blob storage, and GCS buckets for public access, insecure ACLs, and sensitive data exposure. We test object-level permissions, bucket policy configurations, and data classification in exposed stores. In Microsoft 365 tenants this extends to SharePoint Online and OneDrive — external sharing policy, anonymous link creation and expiry, and site-level permission inheritance.
Compute & Network Security
Review of EC2/VM configurations, security groups, network ACLs, VPC peering, and exposed management ports. We assess metadata service (IMDS) exposure and instance profile permission abuse to escalate privileges.
Serverless & Container Services
Assessment of Lambda functions, ECS/EKS configurations, and cloud-native container services for privilege escalation, environment variable secrets exposure, and over-permissive execution roles.
Logging & Monitoring Gaps
Review of CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, GCP Cloud Audit Logs and the Microsoft 365 Unified Audit Log — identifying gaps in detective controls that would allow an attacker to operate undetected. We confirm audit logging is enabled tenant-wide, assess retention against your investigation requirements, and check alert policy coverage for the administrative actions an attacker needs.
Adversarial Privilege Escalation
Practical exploitation of identified weaknesses to demonstrate privilege escalation from low-privileged access to administrative control, including cross-service and cross-account attack chains.
Entra ID / Azure AD Assessment
Enumeration of Entra ID RBAC assignments, service principal permissions, managed identities, conditional access policy gaps, and OAuth application consent abuse. We identify lateral movement paths from cloud identities into Azure resources and — where hybrid connectivity exists — back into on-premises environments.
Microsoft 365 Tenant & Workload Review
Assessment of the tenant configuration sitting above Entra ID. We review administrative role assignment and Global Administrator sprawl, Privileged Identity Management coverage, and the tenant-level settings that govern self-service app registration, guest invitation, and user consent.
Across the workloads we assess Exchange Online transport rules, mailbox delegation and auto-forwarding, and legacy authentication exposure; Teams external federation and guest access; and Defender for Office 365 and Purview policy — safe links and attachments, anti-phishing controls, DLP rule coverage, and retention. Findings are mapped against the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark.
Reporting & Remediation
Findings delivered with full evidence, risk ratings, and cloud-provider-specific remediation guidance. Terraform/policy snippets and PowerShell remediation commands provided where applicable to accelerate remediation.
We don't just run configuration scanners and hand you the output. Our experienced cloud-certified operators understand cloud IAM deeply and approach each assessment as an attacker — attempting to chain misconfigurations into meaningful access rather than reporting them as isolated findings.
We produce cloud-native remediation guidance, including corrected IAM policies, Terraform snippets, and Service Control Policy examples — so your engineering teams can fix issues quickly without needing to research the solution themselves.
