Every Cloud Security Audit Has A Silver Lining

Azure & AWS Cloud Security Audits

Cloud platforms offer speed and flexibility, but a single misconfiguration or permissive role can expose data and systems in ways traditional security overlooks.

Our Cloud Security Audits reveal where those risks hide. We assess AWS and Azure environments of any size, checking identity controls, service configurations, access policies, and deployment security. Realistic attack simulations show how threats could move through your cloud and where defences need strengthening.

You receive clear, prioritised actions that raise your security posture and support compliance. The result is a cloud environment that is secure, resilient, and aligned with best practice.

Cloud Security Audits FAQs

What are Cloud Security Audits?

Cloud Security Audits are a security assessment designed to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in cloud environments such as AWS or Azure.

It goes beyond traditional infrastructure testing by focusing on services, roles, permissions and deployments unique to cloud platforms.

Why are Cloud Security Audits important?

Cloud platforms offer powerful capabilities, but a single misconfiguration can expose sensitive data or grant attackers elevated access.

Cloud Security Audits help you uncover these issues before they are exploited, protecting your data, applications and business operations.

Who benefits from Cloud Security Audits?

Any company hosting applications, data, or infrastructure in the cloud can benefit from a cloud security audit.

From start-ups to large enterprises, cloud testing ensures your environments are resilient against common attacks and compliant.

How are Cloud Security Audits different from a standard penetration test?

While standard penetration tests focus on external or internal networks, Cloud Security Audits are tailored to your specific platform and its services.

Cloud Security Audits examine aspects such as identity and access management, storage security, networking rules, monitoring, logging and the way services interact within your cloud environment.

Do you security audit AWS and Azure in the same way?

The methodology and aims are consistent, but the executions are tailored to the platform. AWS and Azure have distinct services, security models and configurations.

We provide Cloud Security Audits specifically for your chosen platform, whether AWS or Azure, ensuring that findings and recommendations are relevant and actionable.

When should a Cloud Security Audit be performed?

Testing is recommended before major deployments, after significant configuration changes, or as part of regular security assurance.

Many companies include it annually or alongside compliance requirements to ensure environments remain secure as they evolve.

How are Cloud Security Audits conducted?

We use a blend of automated tools and manual expertise.

Automated checks identify common weaknesses quickly, while manual testing digs deeper into configurations, permissions, and service-specific risks unique to chosen platforms.

All results are reviewed by an experienced security consultant to remove false positives and ensure that only actionable findings are reported.

What support do I get during the Cloud Security Audit?

You will have direct and dedicated access to our consultants throughout the engagement.

We provide daily progress calls, immediate alerts for any findings above an agreed CVSS severity level, and ongoing communication to minimise disruption to your business operations.

Our team conducts all work with professionalism and discretion, and we are available to answer any questions you may have during (and after) the test.

What do I receive after a Cloud Security Audit?

You will receive a comprehensive, prioritised report detailing all identified vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security risks. Each finding is accompanied by practical remediation guidance to help your technical teams implement fixes effectively.

The report is concise and bloat-free, focusing on the essentials to provide clear, actionable insight for both technical staff and management. To aid understanding, where practical, we supplement the report with video demonstrations of exploits, showing your team exactly how vulnerabilities were identified and exploited.

If required, a debrief session is included to review the results and discuss next steps.

Are Cloud Security Audits cost-effective?

Yes.

Addressing security issues early in your cloud environment reduces the risk of costly breaches and compliance failures. It also helps to ensure that your business can continue operating smoothly and securely in the cloud.

Regular penetration testing also helps avoid costly incidents, supports compliance, and demonstrates due diligence to clients and regulators.
