Protect your cloud infrastructure, data, and applications

Cloud Security Audit & Posture Assessment

Comprehensive assessment of cloud configurations across AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM), Azure (VMs, App Services, Storage, Entra ID), and GCP (Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery). We map findings to CIS Cloud Computing Foundations Benchmark, CSA Cloud Controls Matrix, and cloud-native security best practices. Identifies misconfigurations, exposed credentials, over-permissive IAM roles, and unmonitored assets.

Identity Governance & Zero-Trust Architecture

Design and implement zero-trust for cloud: (1) Identity Layer - enforce MFA, conditional access, privileged access management (PAM), service account auditing; (2) Network Layer - network segmentation, micro-segmentation, network security groups (NSGs) / security groups, VPC isolation; (3) Data Layer - encryption, data classification, DLP rules, audit logging; (4) Application Layer - least-privilege IAM roles, workload identity, secrets rotation. Integration with cloud-native services (AWS IAM, Azure Entra ID, GCP Workload Identity).

Cloud Compliance & Continuous Monitoring

Establish compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, Bill 25, HIPAA) in cloud environments. Deploy continuous monitoring (AWS Config, Azure Policy, GCP Security Command Center) to detect non-compliance. Automated remediation for policy violations. Monthly compliance reports with evidence collection for audits. Integration with security information and event management (SIEM) for threat detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your questions

How long does a cloud security audit take?

Timeline depends on scope: (1) Express Audit (24-48h) - scan for critical vulnerabilities (exposed credentials, public buckets, over-permissive IAM roles), identify quick wins for immediate remediation; (2) Standard Audit (1-2 weeks) - comprehensive configuration review against CIS Benchmarks, network assessment, access control validation, compliance mapping; (3) Deep Assessment (3-4 weeks) - includes vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, data sensitivity classification, continuous monitoring baseline, security roadmap development. We prioritize findings by severity (critical/high/medium/low) and business impact. Interim reports provided throughout with final comprehensive report and remediation roadmap.

Do you handle multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments?

Yes. We specialize in multi-cloud and hybrid scenarios: (1) AWS + Azure - normalize IAM roles across platforms, unified network segmentation, consistent encryption standards; (2) AWS + GCP - federated identity management, centralized logging across clouds, compliance reporting from single pane of glass; (3) On-Premise + Cloud Hybrid - site-to-site VPN hardening, ExpressRoute/Direct Connect optimization, data residency compliance for hybrid data stores; (4) Multi-cloud Data Governance - classify data across platforms, implement consistent DLP rules, unified backup and recovery. Unified monitoring (SIEM) with cloud-native services (Security Hub, Azure Sentinel, GCP SCC) for visibility across all clouds.

Can you help with cloud compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, Bill 25)?

Absolutely. We map cloud configurations to compliance requirements: (1) SOC 2 Type 2 - implement controls across 5 Trust Service Categories, prepare evidence for auditors (logs, policy documents, test results); (2) ISO 27001 - align cloud architecture to 14 control objectives and 93 controls from ISO 27001:2022; (3) PCI-DSS - if processing payment cards in cloud (RDS, Fargate, ECS), implement network segmentation, encryption, audit logging, and access controls per PCI requirements; (4) Bill 25 - ensure cloud infrastructure meets Quebec privacy law data processing and security requirements; (5) HIPAA (if healthcare) - encrypt healthcare data, implement audit logging, establish Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with cloud providers. We provide compliance roadmaps, control implementation, evidence collection, and audit support.

What is zero-trust architecture and how does it apply to cloud?

Zero-trust assumes no entity (user, device, service, IP) is inherently trusted. Every access request requires verification. Cloud zero-trust implementation: (1) Identity Layer - MFA for all users, conditional access policies verifying device posture (encryption, antivirus status), step-up authentication for sensitive operations; (2) Network Layer - no default trust between resources; microsegmentation with least-privilege network rules; API authentication required; (3) Data Layer - encryption in-transit and at-rest, data classification, DLP rules preventing exfiltration; (4) Application Layer - workload identity (service accounts with minimal permissions), secrets rotation, code signing; (5) Monitoring - comprehensive audit logging, anomaly detection, continuous compliance validation. We design and implement zero-trust architectures on AWS, Azure, and GCP with modern tools (ZTNA, SASE, cloud-native identity) and governance frameworks.

Key risks

Top Cloud Security Risks & Mitigation

IAM Misconfiguration (Over-Permissive Roles)

Overly broad IAM roles grant unnecessary permissions. Example: Developer role with S3 list access across all buckets instead of specific project bucket. Attacker with compromised developer credentials accesses sensitive customer data (PII, financial records). Impact: data breach, regulatory fines (Bill 25), reputational damage. Mitigation: least-privilege role design, regular IAM audits, permission boundary policies, just-in-time (JIT) access elevation.

Network Exposure & Unmonitored Ingress

Security groups/NSGs allow inbound traffic from 0.0.0.0/0 (anywhere) to sensitive ports (SSH, RDP, database). Flat network architecture with no segmentation. Untracked API Gateway endpoints. Attacker scans for open ports and compromises instances. Impact: unauthorized access, lateral movement, data exfiltration. Mitigation: restrict inbound rules to known IPs, implement network segmentation, deploy WAF (Web Application Firewall), enable VPC Flow Logs with alerting.

Data Leakage & Misconfigured Storage

S3 buckets (AWS), blob storage (Azure), or cloud storage (GCP) left public by accident. Database snapshots accessible without authentication. Backup data stored without encryption. Attacker discovers publicly readable bucket containing millions of customer records. Regulatory breach notification required. Impact: GDPR/Bill 25 fines up to CAD $25M+, criminal liability. Mitigation: Block Public Access (BPA) policies, versioning with encryption, bucket logging, inventory across all regions, automated checks.

Shadow IT & Unmanaged Cloud Resources

Developers provision resources outside IT governance (unapproved AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions, GCP projects). No central visibility, compliance, or cost control. Resources created with default insecure settings. Attacker discovers unmonitored database with customer data. Impact: unmanaged risk, compliance violations, security blind spot. Mitigation: Cloud asset inventory, cross-account role federation, cloud governance policies (AWS Control Tower, Azure Blueprints, GCP Organization Policies), budget alerts, automated enforcement.
