Cloud Configuration Review (AWS, Azure, GCP)

Security through configuration

Cloud Configuration Review evaluates AWS, Azure, and GCP environments to uncover misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and insecure architectural patterns before they lead to data exposure or compromise.

What Cloud Configuration Review covers

Strengthen cloud security posture across AWS, Azure, and GCP without disruptive testing.

Cloud Configuration Review evaluates cloud environments to identify misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and insecure architectural patterns that could lead to unauthorized access, data exposure, or privilege escalation. The assessment focuses on configuration and identity security, rather than active exploitation, helping organizations strengthen their overall cloud security posture.

The review covers core cloud security controls including identity and access management (IAM), network exposure, logging and monitoring, storage permissions, and service-level configurations. Assessments are typically performed using a low-privileged or read-only account, reflecting a realistic access level while ensuring safe and non-intrusive analysis.

The service is aligned with CIS Cloud Benchmarks and relevant cloud provider security best practices, ensuring consistent and defensible coverage across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. Automated posture analysis is combined with manual validation to reduce false positives and highlight misconfigurations that pose real risk, with particular attention to excessive privileges, publicly exposed resources, weak segmentation, and missing security controls.

Flowchart

Our cloud configuration review process

A focused review from discovering in-scope accounts to prioritized remediation guidance.

Engagement stages
From cloud scope definition to actionable hardening recommendations.
Step 01
Cloud Scope & Account Discovery
Identifying in-scope AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts, environments, and critical workloads so the review aligns with business priorities.
Step 02
Automated Scan with Low-Privileged Credentials
Running automated posture and configuration scans using read-only or low-privileged access to safely surface misconfigurations and exposure risks.
Step 03
Manual Validation of High-Risk Findings
Manually reviewing high-risk and sensitive findings to reduce false positives and confirm which misconfigurations pose real-world impact.
Step 04
Reporting & Prioritized Remediation
Delivering a cloud configuration assessment report with risk-ranked findings, IAM and exposure analysis, and prioritized remediation aligned to CIS and cloud provider best practices.
