CLOUD PENETRATION TESTING

One leaked key should not cost you the account.

IAM roles, exposed storage and leaked secrets across AWS, Azure and GCP. We test the paths that turn a single key into the whole environment.

Most cloud breaches start with a misconfiguration, not a zero-day.

What a cloud pentest covers

Every item below is tested by hand, not just scanned. Nothing here is a checkbox exercise.

Tested againstCIS Benchmarks + cloud provider best practice
  • IAM roles & privilege-escalation paths
  • Public storage & data exposure (S3 / Blob / GCS)
  • Secrets management & key exposure
  • Network security groups & exposure
  • Serverless & container security
  • Logging & monitoring gaps
  • Multi-account / tenant boundaries

WHY IT MATTERS

What this stops before it happens.

These are the outcomes we are actually testing for. Not theory, these are the paths we take on real engagements.

  1. Account-wide compromise

    An over-privileged role turns one leaked key into control of the environment.

  2. Public data leak

    A misconfigured storage bucket exposes sensitive data to the internet.

  3. Key-based escalation

    A leaked credential escalates through IAM to reach far more than intended.

Over-privileged role → account compromise

An IAM escalation chain let a low-privilege role reach administrative access.

FAQ

Questions we get about cloud pentest

Do you actively exploit or just review configuration?

Both. We review configuration against CIS benchmarks and safely demonstrate real privilege-escalation and exposure paths.

Is cloud testing allowed by the provider?

Yes. Most providers permit customer-authorized testing of your own resources; we work within their terms and any required notification.

What do we need to provide to get started?

Read access to the environment (or a scoped test account), an architecture overview, and rules of engagement.

What standards do you follow?

CIS Benchmarks and provider best practice within a PTES-aligned process.

What happens after the report?

You get a prioritized remediation roadmap and a free re-test of fixed findings.
