Cloud Security & Posture Assessment
Configuration, identity and architecture review for AWS, Azure, GCP and Microsoft 365 – from scripted CIS-baseline and Infrastructure-as-Code posture checks to manual analysis of exposure, excessive permissions and realistic attack paths.
Cloud incidents commonly result from misconfiguration rather than zero-day vulnerabilities: exposed services, over-privileged IAM roles, weak identity controls, a public storage bucket or an overlooked asset. We assess the environment against CIS Benchmarks and provider guidance for AWS, Azure, GCP and Microsoft 365, then analyse how individual weaknesses could be combined.
Automation makes the assessment repeatable. We run scripted multi-cloud baselines and develop custom checks for Infrastructure as Code such as Terraform, CloudFormation and Bicep, so the same review can be applied consistently across accounts and over time – engineering review and attacker-focused analysis, not simply reselling an off-the-shelf CSPM tool.
Coverage can include IAM, network exposure, data storage, encryption, secrets, logging, Microsoft 365, Kubernetes and container workloads. Deliverables include a prioritised remediation register that links each confirmed issue to the affected control, business impact and owning team, with controlled validation of selected attack paths where agreed.

How it works
- 01
Discovery & scoping
Inventory accounts, subscriptions, projects and critical workloads; identify 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
Configuration & identity review
Benchmark IAM, network, storage, encryption, logging and workloads against CIS and provider guidance.
- 04
Attack-path analysis
Model the privilege escalation and lateral movement an attacker would use across the weak controls.
- 05
Prioritisation & reporting
Rate findings by exploitability and business impact, map each to its control and owning team, and deliver a prioritised remediation roadmap.
- 06
Re-assessment
Re-run the scripted baseline after remediation to confirm closure and set a recurring cadence (optional).
