Cloud Security
We review and harden your cloud accounts — identity, network, workloads, and data — and set up the guardrails that keep them that way.
Why cloud environments drift out of shape
Configuration is the attack surface
Cloud incidents rarely involve exotic exploits. They involve an over-permissive role, a storage bucket left open, or a security group opened for a migration and never closed again.
Permissions granted far wider than needed
Cloud identity models are permissive by default and hard to reason about. We analyze effective permissions, cut the roles back to what's actually used, and keep them there with policy.
Speed that outruns review
Teams provision infrastructure in minutes, and review cycles don't move that fast. We put the checks into the pipeline and the account guardrails, so the fast path is also the safe one.
Shared responsibility, unevenly understood
Your provider secures the platform; everything you configure on top of it is yours. We make that boundary explicit for each service you use, so nothing sits in the gap between assumptions.
Multiple accounts, no consistent picture
Environments accumulate across teams, regions, and acquisitions. We bring them under a common structure for logging, identity, and billing, so posture can be assessed once rather than account by account.
We get your cloud environment into a defensible state and put the guardrails in place that keep it there.
Cloud platforms give you strong security controls and no obligation to turn them on. Our work is the turning-on: an assessment against benchmarks, remediation of what it finds, and then guardrails — service control policies, IaC review, and posture monitoring — so the environment doesn't quietly drift back.
Services provided
Cloud security assessment
We assess your accounts against recognized benchmarks and against how you actually use them, then rank the findings by what an attacker could reach rather than by raw count.
Identity and permission tuning
We compare granted permissions against used permissions and reduce roles to fit. Human access moves behind single sign-on with short-lived credentials; workload access moves to instance and service identities.
Network and workload hardening
We tighten security groups, segment your virtual networks, and set baseline configurations for containers and serverless functions, so new workloads inherit the hardening instead of needing it applied later.
Guardrails and infrastructure as code
We encode the rules that shouldn't be breakable — no public data stores, no unencrypted volumes, no root use — as organization policies and pipeline checks that reject a change before it deploys.
Logging and detection
We centralize the audit trails your provider produces, decide which events warrant an alert, and write detections for the cloud-specific behaviors that matter, like new access keys or policy changes.
Cloud incident readiness
We prepare your team for cloud-specific incidents: how to isolate a compromised workload, revoke credentials at speed, and preserve the evidence you'll want afterward. Then we rehearse it.
How we work in your cloud accounts
We work in your accounts and your pipelines, not in a report. Findings arrive as pull requests and policy changes wherever that's possible, so remediation lands rather than sitting in a backlog. Specifically:
- An account assessment ranked by what an attacker could reach
- Roles cut back to the permissions your workloads actually use
- Guardrails that reject unsafe changes before they deploy
- Centralized logging with detections written for cloud-specific attacks
- A rehearsed plan for isolating and recovering compromised workloads
Two of our accounts had roles that could read anything. Watching them get cut down without breaking a single deployment was the part I didn't expect.
