Cloud Security Configuration Reviews
A detailed review of your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud settings against recognised benchmarks, finding misconfigurations such as public storage, excessive permissions and missing logging.
Overview
Why it matters
for your business.
Cloud providers secure their infrastructure, but how you configure your account is your responsibility. Many cloud incidents stem from simple misconfigurations: a public storage bucket, an over-permissive IAM role, a database open to the internet or disabled audit logging. We review your cloud accounts systematically against CIS Benchmarks and provider security guidance.
Using read-only access, we combine automated posture scanning with manual review of identity policies, network design, encryption, logging, backup and key management. Findings are ranked by real-world exposure, not just tool severity. We provide fix steps, infrastructure-as-code changes where you use Terraform, and guardrails that help prevent the same issues recurring.
What's included
- CIS Benchmark assessment for your cloud accounts
- IAM policy and privilege analysis
- Network exposure and public resource review
- Logging, encryption and key management checks
- Prioritised findings with remediation steps
- Preventive guardrails and policy recommendations
Outcomes
What changes
for your business.
Ideal for
- Startups that built cloud infrastructure quickly
- Organisations running multiple AWS or Azure accounts
- Regulated firms preparing for cloud audits
Exposed resources found
Public buckets, open ports and forgotten resources are identified before someone else discovers them.
Tighter cloud permissions
Over-broad IAM roles and keys are reduced, limiting what a compromised identity could do.
Fewer repeat mistakes
Guardrails and policies help catch risky configurations automatically as your environment changes.

FAQ
Common
questions.
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.
What access do you need to review our cloud?
Read-only access is sufficient, such as the AWS SecurityAudit policy or Azure Reader and Security Reader roles, granted to named accounts with MFA. We do not need permission to change resources. Access can be removed as soon as the review ends.
Can you review infrastructure-as-code before deployment?
Yes. Scanning Terraform, CloudFormation or Bicep templates with tools like Checkov catches misconfigurations before they reach your cloud. We can add these checks to your pipeline so every infrastructure change is reviewed automatically.
