Assess your cloud security: find vulnerabilities before attackers do

How well do you know your cloud? Misconfigurations and missing access controls make cloud infrastructure an easy target. Our cloud security assessment uncovers vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

45% of all data breaches involve the cloud

Over 90% of companies use cloud services today, but few truly have visibility into what's happening there. A forgotten security policy here, a misconfiguration there: for hackers, these are open doors. They systematically search for exactly these gaps in your cloud infrastructure. And they find them – if you don't get there first.

Achieve digital sovereignty with a cloud security assessment

You can only protect what you know. In our cloud security assessment, we systematically review your cloud security against proven security standards and best practices – for AWS including the CIS Benchmarks and the Security Pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework , for Azure the Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark and the Azure Security Best Practices . We assess identities and permissions, network security, encryption, logging, and the configurations of your cloud infrastructure. The result: a concrete report with prioritized actions you can start implementing right away.

The hidden risks in your cloud infrastructure

Even with security-conscious customers, we've seen that roles and permissions are a common source of issues. A role gets created here, a service gets assigned a different one there, and suddenly more permissions are granted than intended. Identifying these problems after the fact isn't straightforward. The overall setup is often difficult to untangle, and that's exactly how gaps emerge that attackers can exploit.

Frequently asked questions about our cloud security assessment

How long does a cloud security assessment take?

The duration of an assessment depends heavily on its scope (number of systems, resources, accounts, etc.), focus areas, and depth of review. We discuss this with you before kick-off in a scoping meeting. The timing of the assessment will also be aligned with you.

What's the difference between a cloud security assessment and an IT infrastructure penetration test?

In an IT infrastructure penetration test, the infrastructure is actively attacked and various attack paths are attempted. The testers don't always have access to the infrastructure or prior knowledge of it.
A Cloud Security Assessment, on the other hand, requires access to the infrastructure and reviews configurations without actively attacking them. The focus is primarily on industry best practices to harden the infrastructure.

Can assessments be performed on production systems, and could the assessment damage the environment?

As part of a Cloud Security Assessment, we only perform passive tests – meaning we analyze the system and review what is possible without making any changes to it. Unlike web or IT infrastructure penetration tests, we do not attempt to actually exploit vulnerabilities or modify the system. The risk of unintended disruptions from an assessment is extremely low, which is why we recommend performing them on production environments.

What do I need to provide as a customer?

Our experts need read-only access to your cloud infrastructure, as well as a point of contact for the duration of the assessment. If your team members are to be involved, they will need adequate time and focus to engage with the topics covered.

Do you offer the assessment for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud?

We currently offer assessments for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.

We assess your cloud security and show you exactly where to take action.
