Cloud Security Assessment

Your Data Is in the Cloud. But Is the Cloud Actually Secure?

What Is Cloud Security Assessment?

Cloud Security Assessment evaluates your entire cloud environment — AWS, Azure, GCP, or multi-cloud — examining architecture, IAM, network configurations, data protection, logging, and compliance.

The cloud is not inherently secure. AWS, Azure, and GCP provide secure infrastructure, but configuration is entirely your responsibility. A misconfigured S3 bucket or an overly permissive IAM role — these are YOUR mistakes that lead to YOUR data breaches.

Unlike a simple configuration review, our Cloud Security Assessment examines the big picture — your architecture design, data flows, workload security, and how all cloud services interact. We evaluate whether your cloud environment is designed to resist attacks, not just whether individual settings match a checklist.

Why Your Business Needs This

Cloud misconfigurations are the number one cause of data breaches globally. In the Indian market, where startups are rapidly adopting cloud services, the misconfiguration problem is acute.

Common issues we find in Indian cloud environments include overly permissive IAM policies granting far more access than needed, public-facing storage buckets containing sensitive customer data, disabled logging that leaves you blind to security events, root account usage without MFA by multiple team members, and unencrypted databases accessible from the internet.

For regulated industries in India, cloud security is not just a best practice — it is a compliance requirement. RBI, CERT-In, and SEBI all have expectations around cloud security controls.

Why Choose Verentix

Our assessments prioritise based on your actual business risk, not generic severity scores. An open S3 bucket with marketing images is very different from one containing customer PII. We make that distinction — and we communicate risk in terms your leadership team understands.

Our cloud security engineers hold AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Security Engineer, and GCP Professional certifications. They do not just identify problems — they provide specific remediation commands, Terraform/CloudFormation templates, and architectural recommendations that your DevOps team can implement immediately.

Our Approach

Architecture Review (Day 1-3): Cloud architecture, workloads, data flows, and service dependencies mapped and analysed.

IAM Deep Dive (Day 3-5): Every user, role, group, policy, and service account analysed for excessive permissions, unused access, and cross-account risks.

Configuration Assessment (Day 5-8): All cloud services evaluated against CIS Benchmarks and vendor-specific best practices — storage, compute, database, networking, and serverless.

Network Security (Day 8-10): VPC architecture, security groups, NACLs, public exposure, peering connections, and transit gateway configurations reviewed.

Data Protection (Day 10-12): Encryption at rest and in transit, key management, backup configuration, and data retention policies evaluated.

Reporting & Remediation (Day 12-15): Business-prioritised findings with specific fix commands — AWS CLI, Azure CLI, gcloud, plus Terraform/CloudFormation templates.

Real Results for Indian Businesses

An Indian SaaS company found 23 publicly accessible S3 buckets — including one containing full customer database backups affecting 8 lakh customers. The bucket had been public since the company's initial AWS setup 3 years earlier. Nobody had checked.

A fintech company discovered developers were using a shared service account with Owner-level access across their entire Azure environment — if compromised, it would give an attacker complete control. Our assessment identified this along with 45 other IAM policy violations.

A healthcare startup in Pune had their MongoDB Atlas cluster accessible from any IP address with default credentials. Our assessment discovered this before any breach occurred, and the configuration was fixed within hours of our report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cloud providers do you assess?expand_more
We assess AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). For multi-cloud environments, we evaluate each provider and provide a unified risk report across your entire cloud footprint.
Do you need admin access?expand_more
No. We require read-only access through a dedicated IAM role — typically SecurityAudit on AWS, Reader on Azure, or Viewer on GCP. We never create, modify, or delete any cloud resources.
How is this different from a Cloud Configuration Review?expand_more
A configuration review checks settings against CIS Benchmarks. A full Cloud Security Assessment also examines architecture design, data flows, workload security, network segmentation, and how services interact. We recommend the full assessment for complex environments.
Can you help fix the issues you find?expand_more
Yes. Every finding comes with specific remediation commands and templates. For complex architectural changes, we provide implementation support and validate fixes after your team implements them.
