Cloud Security Assessment
Safeguard your cloud infrastructure with a thorough test of your security controls with a cloud security assessment from CyberOne.
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, but you also 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 cloud service providers 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 malicious adversaries compromise them.

Your Questions, Answered.
What is cloud security posture management?
CSPM is the continuous assessment of cloud configurations against security best practice and policy.
What is the difference between cloud-native security tools and using a managed security provider for cloud?
Cloud-native tools give you the controls and telemetry. A managed provider gives you the people, tuning, interpretation and response needed to turn that capability into a working security outcome.
Does CyberOne provide cloud security monitoring and protection for Azure environments?
Yes, CyberOne provides Azure and Microsoft cloud security as a core part of its service portfolio and also offers cloud security assessment services covering Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. Its wider managed Microsoft security model also links cloud, identity, data and SOC operations together.
How does a CyberOne help secure cloud infrastructure and SaaS applications?
Cyberone helps by assessing configuration risk, deploying controls, monitoring activity and responding to suspicious behaviour across cloud platforms and SaaS tools. We simply close the gap between cloud capability and day-to-day secure operation.
How do I identify misconfigurations and security gaps in my cloud environment?
Use posture assessments, continuous monitoring, identity reviews and workload-focused testing. The aim is to find risky defaults, excessive permissions and exposed services before an attacker does.
How do I build a cloud security strategy that covers identity, workloads, and data in one programme?
Start with identity as the control plane, then layer workload protection, configuration governance, data controls and continuous monitoring around it. The strategy works best when it is operated as one programme rather than split across disconnected teams.

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.
