Cloud Penetration Testing
Configuration and identity review across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud — the over-broad IAM, exposed storage and workload escalation that turn one leaked key into a tenant-wide breach.
What it covers
Cloud breaches rarely come from a vendor vulnerability. They come from configuration and identity — a role with more permission than it needs, a storage bucket readable by the world, a workload that can assume its way to the root of the account. We review your cloud the way an attacker with an initial foothold would explore it, mapping the path from one compromised credential to everything it can reach.
What we test
Every engagement is scoped to your environment, but these are the areas a Cloud test engagement covers.
Identity and access management
Over-privileged roles, dangerous trust relationships, and privilege-escalation paths through IAM itself.
Storage and data exposure
Public or misconfigured buckets, blobs and databases, and the data reachable without the application.
Workload and metadata
Instance-metadata access, container escapes, and role assumption from a compromised workload.
Network and exposure
Security groups, exposed management ports and services reachable that should not be.
Secrets and keys
Hard-coded credentials, exposed keys, and the blast radius when one is leaked.
How the engagement runs
The same defensible sequence every time.
Scoping and a fixed-price quote, reconnaissance and threat modeling, manual exploitation with same-day escalation of critical findings, a report your engineers and auditors can both use, and a free retest once fixes ship.
Cloud test, answered
Do you need our cloud credentials?
We test with scoped, read-oriented access to the accounts in scope, plus an assumed-breach identity to model escalation. Exact access is agreed in scoping and revoked at the end.
Is this a configuration review or a penetration test?
Both. We run a configuration assessment against benchmarks and then actively test the paths that configuration creates — proving impact, not just listing misconfigurations.
