Cloud Security Assessment

Cloud Security Assessment

Clear insight and control over your cloud security

As more organisations move parts of their IT infrastructure to the cloud, they gain flexibility and scalability. At the same time, the threat landscape changes. Misconfigurations, weak identity controls, or compliance gaps can expose sensitive data and critical services.

With our Cloud Security Assessment, you gain a clear and reliable view of the actual security of your cloud environment – whether it runs on Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

When do you need a Cloud Security Assessment?

• You want to confirm that your cloud configuration is secure and resilient to modern threats.

• You need to validate that Identity & Access Management (IAM) is properly applied.

• You must meet compliance and governance requirements such as ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, or DORA.

• You want clarity on the shared responsibility model and your specific obligations.

Our approach

Our certified specialists perform a hands-on, in-depth review of your cloud environment. This goes beyond automated scans, focusing on context, configuration, and business relevance.

The assessment includes:

• Technical kick-off to map services, use cases, and risks

• Manual configuration review by a cloud security consultant

• Tailored report with concrete, actionable recommendations

• Results session to discuss findings and next steps with your team

What you gain

• Comprehensive review covering IAM, networking, storage, web services, monitoring, and compliance

• Actionable advice aligned with your specific cloud setup and priorities

• Management-ready reporting with clear risk prioritisation

• Compliance validation for ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, and DORA

• Repeatable methodology suited for recurring audits

• Retest option to confirm that improvements are implemented correctly
