23 / Cloud penetration testing
Test what cloud access can become.
Validate attack paths across cloud identities, workloads, storage, and connected services in an authorized environment.
Discuss your requirementsSpecialist delivery and availability are confirmed during scoping.
Cloud testing
A clear scope.
A useful outcome.
Start from an agreed account, workload, or external entry point and examine the access it can reach. Follow relevant identity and service relationships while respecting provider policies and shared infrastructure boundaries. Use the findings to prioritize concrete changes to permissions and architecture.
What we cover
- Cloud identity and privilege-escalation paths
- Workload credentials and service-to-service access
- Storage, secrets, and externally exposed services
- Cross-account trust and hybrid-cloud boundaries
What you take away
- Cloud scope and rules of engagement
- Validated findings with permissions and dependencies
- Hardening priorities for platform and application owners
- Retest evidence and remaining access assumptions
How to engage
A scoped cloud assessment with required account-owner approvals and provider-policy checks.
What progress looks like
Agreed attack paths tested and excessive access removed without breaking legitimate workflows.
The final scope, deliverables, and timing are agreed for your engagement.
Assess
Agree the scope and examine the controls, configurations, and exposures that matter.
Prioritize
Translate findings into clear actions, accountable owners, and realistic next steps.
Improve
Support remediation, review the evidence, and keep the programme moving forward.
