Cloud breaches almost never come from a sophisticated zero-day.
They come from a misconfigured S3 bucket, an over-permissive IAM role, an exposed KMS key, or a forgotten Kubernetes API. Your cloud security program needs to find those things continuously, not at audit time. We assess your current posture against benchmarks and threat patterns, harden what’s high-leverage, and stand up the continuous monitoring so the posture doesn’t degrade between audits.
What’s included.
Capability · 02
Architecture review
IAM trust paths, network segmentation, encryption posture, logging coverage, control-plane attack surface.

Outcomes.
- A cloud posture report sized for your auditor and your engineering team — same findings, two views.
- A prioritized hardening roadmap with control mappings and effort estimates.
- Continuous-monitoring tooling integrated with your existing alerting, with detections tuned to your environment.
Frequently asked questions.
What clouds do you cover?
AWS, Azure, GCP. OCI, IBM Cloud, and Alibaba on request.
Do you test multi-cloud or only one at a time?
Both. Multi-cloud assessments highlight identity-trust paths between providers — a real risk most single-provider tools miss.
What posture management tools do you use?
Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Lacework, native cloud tools (AWS Security Hub, Defender for Cloud, Security Command Center). Selection is part of the assessment if you're tool-shopping.
Can you support a FedRAMP or GovRAMP authorization?
Yes — coordinated through /cybersecurity/grc-compliance. The cloud-security work feeds the SSP and the SAR.
What about Kubernetes specifically?
Yes — CIS Kubernetes Benchmark assessment, NIST 800-190 mapping, runtime tooling deployment (Falco, Tetragon, etc.), and admission control design.
