Test the Effectiveness of Your AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure Security Controls

In today’s business environment, many companies are using cloud-based systems to house critical operational data. The assumption that cloud servers and services are impenetrable because they are provided by tech giants is wrong. Not only do you need to ensure you have a secure business continuity model, you need to understand that the safety and protection of your data is also your responsibility.

The remote nature of cloud systems can leave you vulnerable to hostile attacks, making a cloud security assessment essential to identify any security flaws. We assess the security of cloud infrastructure and applications hosted by a cloud service provider such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure. Our testing gauges the effectiveness of your security controls. We identify, safely exploit and help to remediate vulnerabilities before they are compromised by malicious adversaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Cloud Security Assessment?

A cloud security assessment is an evaluation of the security controls, policies and risks associated with a cloud-based system. By conducting a cloud security assessment, organisations can identify vulnerabilities and receive actionable recommendations to enhance the overall security of their cloud environment.

How Often Should I Conduct a Cloud Security Assessment?

The frequency of your cloud security assessments depends on several factors, including the nature of your business, the sensitivity of your data and any regulatory requirements that you need to adhere to.

However, it is generally recommended to conduct cloud security assessments at least once a year or whenever significant changes are made to your cloud infrastructure.  Additionally, regular monitoring and testing of your cloud security controls should be done to ensure that they protect against new threats and vulnerabilities.

How Long Does a Cloud Security Assessment Take?

Typically, a comprehensive cloud security assessment can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

The process involves identifying and analysing potential vulnerabilities in the cloud environment, evaluating security controls and policies, conducting Penetration Testing and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

It is essential to allocate sufficient time to thoroughly assess and address any security risks, ensuring the protection of data and infrastructure in the cloud.

What Are Some Common Challenges in Cloud Security Assessments?

Some common challenges in cloud security assessments include:

  • Data privacy and protection
  • Ensuring compliance with regulations and standards
  • Securing the cloud infrastructure and platforms
  • Managing access controls and permissions
  • Detecting and responding to security incidents
  • Staying updated with the constantly evolving threat landscape.
What Is Most Important for Cloud Security?

To prepare for a cloud security assessment:

  • Review and align cloud architecture with security policies.
  • Identify critical assets and implement proper access controls.
  • Enable multifactor authentication (MFA) for user accounts.
  • Implement monitoring, logging and vulnerability scanning.
  • Have a clear incident response plan in place.
