Misconfiguration — not zero-days — is the leading cause of cloud breaches: a public storage bucket, an over-permissive IAM role, a default security group left open. We review your cloud security posture against CIS Benchmarks and provider best practice across AWS, Azure and GCP, then think like an attacker — tracing the privilege-escalation and lateral-movement paths a real adversary would walk from a single weak control.
Our edge is automation. We run scripted, repeatable multi-cloud baselines and write custom checks against your Infrastructure-as-Code — Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep — so the same review reruns consistently across accounts and over time, not as a one-off snapshot. This is engineer-led, attacker-minded posture management, not the resale of an off-the-shelf CSPM tool whose findings nobody triages.
You receive a prioritised fix map: every finding rated by exploitability and business impact, mapped to the CIS control it breaches, with concrete remediation your engineers can apply — and, where it helps, the IaC change to prevent it recurring. It is the named, project-based deliverable that specialises our broader cloud security assessment for teams who need posture clarity fast.

How it works
- 01
Discovery & scoping
Inventory accounts, subscriptions and projects; identify critical workloads, data and the cloud platforms in scope.
- 02
Automated baseline
Run scripted CIS-aligned baselines across the multi-cloud estate and parse Infrastructure-as-Code with custom checks.
- 03
Identity & exposure analysis
Review IAM, public exposure, network and encryption; trace the privilege-escalation paths an attacker would use.
- 04
Prioritisation
Rate each finding by exploitability and business impact and map it to the CIS control and owning team.
- 05
Fix map & reporting
Deliver a prioritised remediation map with concrete fixes and preventive IaC guidance, plus an executive summary.
- 06
Re-assessment
Re-run the scripted baseline after remediation to confirm closure and set a recurring cadence (optional).

Frequently asked questions
How is a Cloud Security Posture Review different from a cloud penetration test?
A posture review systematically assesses configuration, identity and exposure across your AWS, Azure and GCP estate against CIS Benchmarks and provider best practice — it tells you where you are misconfigured at breadth. A penetration test actively exploits a narrower scope to prove depth. The two are complementary: the posture review finds the over-permissive role or open bucket, and our offensive engineers trace where that weakness could lead. For most teams it is the fastest way to close the misconfigurations that cause the majority of cloud breaches.
Which standards and benchmarks do you assess against?
We baseline against the CIS Benchmarks for AWS, Azure and GCP, the provider Well-Architected and security best-practice frameworks, and the relevant control families of frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIS2. We go beyond a benchmark checklist, though — every finding is also evaluated from an attacker’s perspective for real-world exploitability, not just nominal compliance.
Will the review disrupt our cloud environment?
No. The review is read-only configuration analysis: we assess settings, IAM policies, network rules and Infrastructure-as-Code, with no exploitation and no changes to running workloads. We typically work from a least-privilege read-only role you provision, or from exported configuration and IaC, so there is no operational impact on production.
What do we get at the end, and how is it prioritised?
You receive a prioritised fix map: each finding rated by exploitability and business impact, mapped to the CIS control it breaches and the owning team, with concrete remediation steps and — where relevant — the Infrastructure-as-Code change to prevent recurrence. You also get an executive summary. Because our baselines are scripted, we can re-run them after remediation to verify closure.
How often should we review our cloud posture?
Cloud changes daily, so we recommend at least quarterly posture reviews, and continuously for fast-moving or regulated environments. Because we run scripted, repeatable baselines, re-assessment is efficient — many clients run the Essential review as a project first, then move to a recurring cadence so new misconfigurations are caught as they appear rather than at the next annual audit.
