How the Engagement Works

Every engagement follows a structured delivery model - ensuring clarity, accountability, and measurable outcomes at every stage.

01

Scoping & Access

Define review scope, read-only credentials for the cloud environment, interviews with cloud architects

02

Automated Analysis

Automated configuration scanning across all cloud services, IAM, network, and storage

03

Manual Review

Manual validation of findings, false-positive elimination, and quantification of business risk

04

Risk Prioritisation

Findings ranked by severity and business impact - Critical, High, Medium, Low

05

Reporting & Handoff

Detailed findings report, remediation roadmap, and findings briefing for the technical team and executives

What You Receive

Tangible, actionable outputs designed for both technical leaders and executive leadership.

Findings Report

Detailed report of every review finding with CVSS severity ratings, step-by-step reproduction, and remediation documentation.

Remediation Roadmap

Prioritised remediation actions with specific configuration guidance and proposed timelines.

Executive Summary

Board-ready executive summary with the most critical findings and action priorities.

Compliance Mapping

Findings mapped against CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001, GDPR, and NIS2 across the relevant domains.

Findings Briefing

Findings presentation for the technical team and senior leadership with clear recommendations and next steps.

Multi-Cloud Security Across Every Major Provider.

Whatever cloud you run - public, private, or hybrid - we assess the same way and deliver consistent findings.

AWS

IAM design, S3 exposure, GuardDuty/Security Hub coverage, multi-account governance.

Microsoft Azure

Entra ID risk, Defender for Cloud posture, Key Vault hygiene, subscription guardrails.

Google Cloud

Org policies, IAM bindings, Security Command Center, workload identity reviews.

Multi-Cloud Environments

Cross-cloud identity, network paths, unified posture management, governance consistency.

Private Cloud

VMware/OpenStack hardening, segmentation, hypervisor controls, hybrid connectivity.

What We Assess.

Six assessment domains that cover the full cloud security surface.

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

Misconfiguration identification across all cloud services and regions.

Identity & Access Management (IAM)

Overprivileged accounts, role sprawl, external access paths.

Container & Kubernetes Security

Image vulnerabilities, cluster configuration, runtime security.

Data Security & Classification

Sensitive data exposure, storage permissions, encryption gaps.

Network Segmentation

VPC/VNET design, security group rules, east-west traffic controls.

Compliance Posture

CIS Benchmark and NIST CSF alignment across cloud environment.

What you get

You receive a prioritized list of cloud misconfigurations - overprivileged IAM roles, exposed storage, weak network controls, insecure container configurations - with remediation steps your cloud team can action immediately. Your cloud posture is measurable against CIS Benchmark and NIST CSF.

Scope boundary

A cloud security review assesses configuration and posture - not applications running on the cloud. Application-layer vulnerabilities require a Web Application PT. This is not a continuous monitoring service; for ongoing posture management, integrate with CISOaaS and CISOteria.

How a Cloud Security Review Works.

Four predictable phases from kickoff to closure.

1

Discovery

We map your full cloud footprint - accounts, regions, services, and data flows. This typically takes 1-2 days remotely.

2

Assessment

We evaluate your configuration against CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, and service-specific best practices across IAM, network, data, and compute layers.

3

Findings & Prioritisation

We deliver an executive report ranking findings by business risk - not just by CVSS score - with clear remediation owners and timelines.

4

Remediation Support

Optional follow-on advisory to help your team implement the priority fixes and validate that controls are working.

// Scope Clarity

What a Cloud Security Review Does Not Include

Being explicit about scope means no surprises mid-engagement and no expectation gaps with your team or your board.

Application security testing

We assess cloud configuration and IAM - not the business logic of applications running on the cloud. Web Application PT covers the application layer.

Remediation execution

We provide remediation guidance and prioritisation. Reconfiguring cloud services, updating IAM policies, and patching containers is your cloud team's responsibility.

Continuous monitoring

A cloud review is a point-in-time assessment. For ongoing posture management and drift detection, the CISOteria platform within a CISOaaS retainer provides continuous visibility.

Certification on its own

A cloud review contributes to ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIS2 evidence but does not certify compliance with any framework independently.
