Cloud security
Cloud Infrastructure Penetration Testing
Manual, identity-focused cloud penetration testing that validates real attacker paths across your environment - and confirms closure with retest evidence.
- Identity and permission abuse, not surface scans
- Real attacker paths across cloud services
- Retests included for verified closure
What you get on day one
Concise scope, test plan, and outcomes your team can execute.
3–5 days
Start-to-test window
Once access is approved.
IAM & access
Primary risk focus
Where most cloud breaches begin.
Replayable
Evidence format
Commands, logs, and traces.
72 hours
Retest turnaround
Per confirmed fix.
Why cloud pentesting
Most cloud breaches start with access, not exploits
Cloud security failures are usually permission problems, not software vulnerabilities.
Identity is the perimeter
Cloud breaches rarely start with a network exploit. They start with stolen keys, over-privileged roles, and weak trust boundaries.
Misconfigurations compound
Small permission mistakes chain together across services, accounts, and regions - often without triggering alerts.
Blast radius is unclear
Teams don’t know what an attacker can actually reach until access paths are tested end-to-end.
What we test
Cloud access paths and trust boundaries
Focused on how attackers move once inside a cloud environment.
IAM users, roles, and policies
Privilege escalation paths, trust relationships, wildcard permissions, and cross-account access.
Service-to-service access
How compute, storage, and managed services trust each other - and where that trust can be abused.
Secrets and credentials
Access keys, instance metadata, environment secrets, and unsafe storage patterns.
Storage and data exposure
Object storage permissions, snapshots, backups, and unintended public or cross-account access.
Network and isolation boundaries
Security groups, firewall rules, private endpoints, and assumptions about network trust.
Logging and detection gaps
Whether attacker activity would be visible, delayed, or silently missed.
How we work
A clear path from access to verified closure
Simple steps, clear ownership, and evidence at every stage.
Scope and access alignment
Confirm accounts, subscriptions, projects, roles, and change windows before testing begins.
Identity and permission mapping
Model how identities, roles, and services interact across the environment.
Exploit path validation
Safely attempt real privilege escalation and lateral movement paths.
Evidence and impact capture
Document what was possible, how it was achieved, and what data or services were reachable.
Retest and verified closure
Validate fixes and attach updated evidence so closure is confirmed, not assumed.
Deliverables
Evidence your engineers can act on
Clear proof, practical guidance, and confirmed closure.
Exploit-backed findings
Clear descriptions of confirmed access paths, privilege escalation, and reachability.
Evidence and reproduction steps
Commands, logs, and traces engineers can replay in a controlled manner.
Remediation guidance
Practical IAM, configuration, and architectural fixes aligned to cloud best practices.
Retest results
Updated proof confirming whether each fix successfully closed the access path.

FAQ
Before we start
Which cloud providers do you test?
We test AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, including hybrid and multi-account setups.
Is this automated scanning?
No. We use manual, adversary-driven testing to validate real access paths rather than relying on scan output.
Will this impact production?
Testing is performed with guardrails and approved access to avoid service disruption.
Do you provide evidence for audits?
Yes. Findings and retest results include evidence suitable for internal review and external audits.
