Cloud Security Assessment

The short version

What is a cloud security assessment?

Cloud platforms operate on a shared responsibility model: the provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) secures the underlying infrastructure, but you’re responsible for how you configure identity, access, storage, and networking within it.

A cloud security assessment reviews your side of that responsibility — checking for the misconfigurations, over-permissioned accounts, and exposed resources that are consistently the root cause of publicized cloud breaches. It’s distinct from a general network penetration test: cloud environments have their own configuration surface — IAM policies, storage bucket permissions, security groups, serverless function permissions — that requires cloud-specific expertise to review properly.

A generic vulnerability scan

Five slices, tested in isolation.

One team with visibility across the full scope.

  • IAM policies
  • S3 bucket permissions
  • security groups
  • service configurations against the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark
  • Azure AD
  • resource permissions
  • network security groups
  • storage configuration against the CIS Azure Benchmark
  • IAM
  • storage
  • network configuration against the CIS GCP Benchmark
  • Checking for overly broad permissions
  • unused privileged accounts
  • missing MFA enforcement
  • Checking for publicly exposed buckets
  • blobs
  • storage accounts — one of the most common causes of cloud data leaks
  • Mapping your cloud configuration against relevant compliance frameworks

From scoping workshop to retest, on one timeline.

Compliance needs business context, not a generic checklist. Every engagement starts by understanding yours.

Our assessment process

Mapping your cloud accounts, resources, and services in scope.

Configuration Review

Reviewing configuration against CIS Benchmarks and provider-specific security best practices

IAM & Access Analysis

Manually reviewing identity and access policies for overly broad or unused permissions.

Storage & Network Exposure

Check Checking for publicly accessible storage, exposed services, and unnecessary network exposure.

Reporting

Documenting findings with severity scoring and specific configuration-level remediation steps.

Retest

Verifying misconfigurations are corrected once remediation is applied.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

From a single website scan to a full enterprise-wide assessment, PS INFOSEC covers every layer of your security posture — technical testing, cloud, compliance, and everything in between.

PS Infosec offers vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, cloud security, web application and API testing, compliance and governance services, and a full enterprise assessment that bundles all of these into one engagement.

We start by finding out where you’re actually exposed — through vulnerability assessment and penetration testing — then provide a prioritized remediation roadmap so your team can close the highest-risk gaps first.

A security assessment is a structured review of your systems to identify exploitable weaknesses before an attacker does. It’s important because most breaches exploit known, fixable issues — not sophisticated zero-day attacks.

Both. Our SOC (Security Operations Center) service provides 24×7 ongoing monitoring, while services like Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment are typically scoped as periodic or one-time engagements.
