Most cloud breaches are not clever hacks - they are misconfigurations. We review your AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365 configuration and access, show you exactly where you are exposed, and give you a prioritized plan to fix it - in business language, not a scanner export.

Your cloud is assessed by senior engineers who are also certified in offensive security - people who know how an attacker turns one exposed role or public bucket into a full compromise, not just what a benchmark checklist looks like.

Who needs cloud security services

Cloud environments grow faster than anyone documents them. A workload here, an account there, a contractor who still has access, a storage bucket someone made public "just for the demo." For mid-market companies in New York running on AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365, the result is the same: nobody can say with confidence what is exposed and what is not.

Usually a cloud security assessment becomes urgent for a concrete reason - and with it come the questions it exists to answer:

Is anything in our cloud reachable from the internet that should not be?
Who - person or service - has admin over our AWS accounts and Azure subscriptions, and do they all still need it?
If one laptop or one API key is stolen tomorrow, how far does it get?
Would we pass the cloud section of a customer security questionnaire, or are we guessing?

How the cloud security assessment works

A CSPM-style review of your configuration and identity, then a prioritized plan and hands-on guidance to close the gaps - read-only, with no disruption to production.

1. Scoping call (30 minutes, free)

We agree which clouds are in scope - AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions, the Microsoft 365 tenant - what read-only access is needed, and how long it takes. This is also where we tell you honestly whether a full assessment is warranted or whether a handful of fixes would do.

2. Cloud security assessment (CSPM-style)

We review configuration and identity across every account against cloud benchmarks and, more importantly, against how an attacker actually pivots: public storage, over-permissioned roles, exposed management planes, missing logging. Read-only analysis - nothing goes offline.

3. Report and prioritized remediation plan

You get a written cloud security posture report that separates what is exploitable right now from what is hygiene and what is noise. Each item is scored by real risk, with effort estimates, so you can budget - not a raw export of a scanner tool.

4. Remediation guidance and guardrails

We work with your team to close the high-risk misconfigurations in order, then set guardrails - secure landing zone patterns, baseline policies - so new accounts and subscriptions start safe instead of drifting. Your team can apply the fixes, or we go hands-on.

Typical assessment: 2–3 weeks from receiving access, depending on how many accounts are in scope.

The first step is a 30-minute call.

What you get from a cloud security posture review

Cloud security posture report - findings across AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365, scored by real exploitability. One part for management, a technical annex for the people who own the accounts.
Prioritized remediation plan - what is urgent, what can wait, and what is not worth the money, with effort estimates so you can budget.
Identity and access (IAM) review - over-permissioned roles, stale access, missing MFA, and root or global-admin exposure - the failures that turn one mistake into a full compromise.
Misconfiguration remediation guidance - the concrete fixes for each finding, which your team can apply directly. We tell you exactly which ones - we do not tie the report to future services.
Secure landing zone recommendations - baseline guardrails so the next account, subscription, or workload starts from a safe default instead of being cleaned up later.

Never had an outside look at your whole environment - not just the cloud? A cybersecurity audit takes the same approach across everything you run, and its findings feed straight into cloud scoping.

AWS security assessment, Azure security, and Microsoft 365 - reviewed the way attackers see them

AWS security assessment

IAM roles and policies, public S3 buckets, security groups and exposed services, root account usage, CloudTrail coverage, and cross-account trust. We review the account structure against benchmarks and against the paths that turn one key into many.

Azure security

Entra ID roles and conditional access, subscription and resource-group RBAC, network security groups, storage exposure, Key Vault access, and Defender coverage. The goal is a clear picture of who can reach what, and how far a foothold spreads.

Microsoft 365

MFA coverage, admin roles, legacy authentication, conditional access, and external sharing. This is where most identity risk actually lives - the accounts that unlock the rest of your cloud usually sit in the tenant.

Want your defenses actively tested, not just reviewed? A cloud posture assessment finds the misconfigurations; a penetration test proves which of them an attacker can chain together. The two are complementary, and many companies run the assessment first to fix the obvious gaps before paying to have the rest attacked.

What a cloud configuration review is not

On the market, "cloud security" covers everything from a tool that emails you a list of findings to full architecture rebuilds.

So you know exactly what you are buying, we are just as clear about what you do not get:

It is not a scanner dump.

A CSPM tool produces a list of hundreds of findings; a configuration review produces priorities. The difference is that a list of 400 flagged settings does not tell you which 5 an attacker would actually use.

It is not a product we resell.

We do not sell CSPM licenses, cloud tooling, or any vendor’s platform. If a tool you already run helps, we say so; if it is overkill, we say that too. The recommendations depend on your risk, not on a quota.

It is not cloud architecture or migration.

Designing or moving your environment is a different job - that is our network & cloud consulting. This engagement assesses and hardens the security posture of what you already run.

Frequently asked questions

What do cloud security services actually cover?

For mid-market companies our cloud security services are an assessment-and-hardening engagement: we review your AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365 configuration and identity setup, run a CSPM-style posture assessment, and give you a prioritized plan to fix the misconfigurations that matter. We then guide remediation and set guardrails - secure landing zone patterns - so new accounts start safe. It is advisory and hands-on hardening, not a product subscription.

How much does a cloud security assessment cost?

It depends on scope - how many AWS accounts and Azure subscriptions, whether Microsoft 365 is included, and the complexity of your setup. That is why the 30-minute scoping call exists: at the end of it you receive a proposal with a fixed quote scoped to your environment within 24h.

Do you need admin access to our AWS or Azure environment?

No. The assessment is done with read-only access - a security-audit role in AWS, a Reader plus a security-focused role in Azure, and read scopes in Microsoft 365. We agree the exact access on the scoping call, and everything happens under a non-disclosure agreement signed before we start. We only need write access later, and only if you ask us to help apply the fixes.

Will the assessment disrupt our production environment?

No. A cloud configuration review is analysis, not an attack simulation - it reads settings and permissions, it does not change or take anything offline. If you also want your defenses actively tested, that is a separate engagement: see our penetration testing service.

What is the difference between this and your network & cloud consulting?

Network & cloud consulting is about architecture and migration - designing, building, or moving your environment. Cloud security services assess and harden the posture of what you already run: configuration, identity, exposure, and the misconfigurations an attacker would exploit. Many companies do both, in that order, but they answer different questions.

Can you assess Microsoft 365, not just AWS and Azure?

Yes. Microsoft 365 is where most identity risk actually lives for mid-market companies - conditional access, MFA coverage, admin roles, legacy authentication, external sharing. We assess it alongside AWS and Azure so the identity picture is complete, because the accounts that unlock your cloud usually live in the tenant.
