Cloud Security Audits
Know exactly where your cloud is exposed, and fix it in priority order.
Who it is for
Companies preparing for SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001; leaders who inherited a cloud environment; and teams that want an independent check before a launch, acquisition, or enterprise deal.
Cloud environments drift. Permissions widen, buckets open, logging gets switched off, and nobody notices until an incident or an auditor asks. We review your environment against industry benchmarks and leave you with a plan ranked by risk and effort.
Deliverables
Configuration review
Automated and manual review against CIS Benchmarks and the provider well-architected security pillars.
IAM and privilege review
Service accounts, keys, roles, and access paths, with recommendations for least privilege.
Network and perimeter
Firewall rules, exposure of public endpoints, private connectivity, and segmentation.
Secrets, keys, and data protection
Key management, encryption settings, secret storage, and backup and recovery posture.
Logging and detection coverage
Audit log configuration, alerting, and gaps in what you would see during an incident.
Prioritized remediation plan
Findings ranked by severity and effort, mapped to compliance controls, with hands-on remediation support.
Engagement approach
Kickoff
Read-only access granted, scope and compliance targets agreed.
Review
One to three weeks of automated scanning and expert review.
Report
Executive summary, detailed findings, and remediation roadmap.
Remediate
Fix critical items with your team; optional re-audit to confirm.

Common questions
Is the audit disruptive?
No. We work with read-only access and never change configuration without approval. Most audits require a few hours of your team's time in total.
Does this replace a SOC 2 auditor?
No. It prepares you for one. Auditors verify controls; we help you build and evidence them so the audit goes smoothly.
How often should we audit?
Annually at minimum, and after major changes such as a migration, an acquisition, or a new product launch. Continuous monitoring can fill the gaps between audits.
