Scoped Engagement

Know where the real risks are before an incident happens

Your cloud infrastructure is scaling faster than your security team can keep up. We analyze your AWS, Azure, or GCP environment and deliver a risk-prioritized roadmap.

Why cloud security architecture reviews matter

Cloud environments are complex. Every service, role, and network rule is a potential security gap. Most companies do not discover misconfigurations until they are exploited.

Scaling fast creates blind spots

New workloads, services, and integrations are deployed weekly. Security configurations drift. What was secure 6 months ago may not be today.

Tooling creates false confidence

Security tools flag thousands of findings. Without business context and risk scoring, you do not know what to fix first — or what actually matters.

Auditors ask hard questions

SOC 2, ISO 27001, and customer security reviews all require evidence that your cloud architecture is defensible. Surface-level answers do not pass.

What we review

We analyze your cloud environment across multiple security domains, focusing on areas that actually impact your risk posture:

  • Identity and Access Management (IAM)
    Role policies, service accounts, MFA enforcement, privilege escalation paths, and federated identity configurations.
  • Network Architecture and Segmentation
    VPC design, security groups, network ACLs, transit gateway configurations, and ingress/egress controls.
  • Data Protection and Encryption
    Encryption at rest and in transit, key management, data classification, and backup/recovery configurations.
  • Logging, Monitoring, and Alerting
    CloudTrail/Azure Activity Logs, centralized logging, SIEM integration, and security event alerting coverage.
  • Workload and Container Security
    EC2/VM hardening, container image security, runtime protection, and secrets management.
  • Compliance and Guardrails
    AWS Organizations/Azure Policy, SCPs, config rules, and automated compliance enforcement.

Our approach

1

Discovery

2-3 days

Architecture documentation review, stakeholder interviews, and initial environment assessment. We understand your current state and business context.

2

Analysis

3-4 days

Deep-dive technical review of identity controls, network architecture, data protection, logging, and encryption. We identify gaps and misconfigurations.

3

Risk Assessment

2-3 days

Risk scoring and prioritization based on business impact and exploitability. Not all findings are equal — we help you focus on what actually matters.

4

Roadmap Delivery

1-2 days

Executive summary, technical findings, and prioritized remediation roadmap. We present to your team and answer technical questions.

What you get

  • Cloud architecture diagram with security boundaries
  • Identity and access control assessment findings
  • Data protection and encryption gap analysis
  • Network security and segmentation review
  • Logging and monitoring coverage assessment
  • Risk-prioritized remediation roadmap with effort estimates
  • Executive summary for leadership and board

Common findings we identify

Overprivileged IAM roles and service accounts

Excessive permissions that violate least privilege. One compromised credential becomes a full environment takeover.

Inadequate network segmentation

Flat network architectures where one breach means lateral movement to everything. Defense in depth starts with boundaries.

Unencrypted data at rest and in transit

Data lakes, S3 buckets, and databases without encryption. Compliance frameworks require it, but more importantly, breaches are expensive.
