The cloud offers enormous flexibility – but also new attack surfaces. Misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and lack of visibility are among the most common causes of security incidents in cloud environments. Our Cloud Security Audit identifies weaknesses in your configuration before attackers exploit them.
With migration to the cloud, security responsibility shifts – but it doesn't disappear. The Shared Responsibility Model means: the cloud provider secures the infrastructure, but you are responsible for correct configuration and protecting your data. In practice, we consistently see the same issues: publicly accessible storage buckets, over-privileged service accounts, missing multi-factor authentication, and insufficient logging.
On top of that, there are regulatory requirements: whether DSG, GDPR, FINMA, or industry-specific standards – compliance requirements for cloud environments are constantly growing. A Cloud Security Audit helps you systematically identify and close both technical risks and compliance gaps.
Review of user roles, permissions, MFA configuration, service accounts, and conditional access policies. We identify over-privileged accounts and insecure authentication mechanisms.
Analysis of virtual networks, security groups, firewalls, VPN configurations, and network segmentation. We verify whether your cloud networks are configured according to the least-privilege principle.
Review of storage permissions, encryption at rest and in transit, key management, and backup configurations. We ensure your data is not exposed without protection.
Assessment of audit logs, alerting rules, SIEM integration, and incident response capabilities. We verify whether security-relevant events are detected and logged.
Our Cloud Security Audit covers the most common cloud platforms. We tailor our review to the specific security features and best practices of each platform:
Entra ID, Azure AD, network security, storage accounts, Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud
IAM, VPC, S3, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub, KMS
Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, DLP policies, conditional access, audit logging
IAM, VPC, Cloud Storage, Cloud Audit Logs, Security Command Center, KMS
Inventory of your cloud environment: which services, resources, and configurations are in use?
Systematic review of all configurations against CIS Benchmarks and platform-specific best practices.
In-depth analysis of identities, roles, permissions, and authentication mechanisms.
Detailed report with prioritized findings, compliance mapping, and concrete remediation plan.
Anonymized engagement example
A Swiss technology company. AWS. 3 S3 buckets with customer data publicly readable.
S3 buckets locked down within 24 hours. IAM overhaul and logging setup implemented in a four-week roadmap. Result: no publicly exposed resources remaining.
A Swiss technology company wants its AWS environment reviewed after a security incident at a competitor put cloud security on the management agenda. The infrastructure has grown organically over two years.
Upon completion of the Cloud Security Audit, you will receive:
Comprehensive assessment of your current cloud security posture, including risk score and executive summary.
Detailed listing of all identified misconfigurations with severity, description, and reproduction steps.
Mapping of findings to relevant standards and regulations (CIS Benchmarks, DSG, GDPR, FINMA, ISO 27001).
Prioritized action plan with concrete recommendations and quick wins for immediate implementation.
