Cloud & DevSecOps Security
CLOUD SECURITY ASSESSMENT
Cloud security posture management across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Faltrox maps your entire cloud estate, finds misconfigurations and exposed resources, traces real attack paths, and delivers a prioritized, audit-ready hardening roadmap.
Overview
Posture Hardened
Most cloud breaches start with a misconfiguration, not an exploit. We assess your AWS, Azure, and GCP posture against real-world attack paths and compliance benchmarks.
A single public S3 bucket, an over-permissioned IAM role, or an exposed management port can undo every other control. Our Cloud Security Assessment maps your entire cloud estate, identifies misconfigurations and exposed resources, and traces the attack paths that lead from internet to crown-jewel data.
We benchmark against CIS, the cloud provider's Well-Architected security pillar, and frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, then deliver a prioritized, remediation-ready roadmap your engineers can act on immediately.

Assessment Domains
Comprehensive posture review across the controls that matter most.
Identity & Access (IAM)
Over-permissioned roles, privilege-escalation paths, unused credentials, and missing MFA across your cloud accounts.
Network Exposure
Public-facing resources, open security groups, exposed management ports, and insecure peering.
Data Protection
Unencrypted stores, public buckets, and weak key-management practices across your data services.
Logging & Monitoring
Gaps in CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, and GCP audit logging that blind you to attacks.
Workload Configuration
Insecure compute, storage, and serverless configurations against CIS benchmarks.
Compliance Mapping
Posture mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and provider Well-Architected security baselines.
Process
Assessment Process
From read-only access to a prioritized remediation roadmap.
- 01
SCOPE
Define accounts, subscriptions, and projects in scope and provision read-only assessment access.
- 02
ENUMERATE
Automated and manual discovery of every resource, identity, and configuration across the estate.
- 03
ANALYZE
Benchmark configurations against CIS and provider baselines; identify misconfigurations and exposure.
- 04
ATTACK-PATH
Chain findings into realistic attack paths from external entry to sensitive data.
- 05
PRIORITIZE
Rank issues by exploitability and blast radius, not just raw count.
- 06
ROADMAP
Deliver remediation guidance, IaC fixes, and a phased hardening plan.
Scope
What We Assess
Full coverage across the major cloud platforms.
AWS
IAM, S3, EC2, VPC, Lambda, and account-level controls against the CIS AWS Benchmark.
Azure
Entra ID, storage, networking, and subscription posture against CIS Azure controls.
GCP
IAM, Cloud Storage, VPC, and org-policy configuration against CIS GCP benchmarks.
Multi-Cloud & Hybrid
Cross-account trust, shared identity, and hybrid connectivity exposure.
Outcomes
Key benefits
Know exactly where your cloud is exposed, and how to fix it.
Close the Misconfiguration Gap
We surface the public buckets, over-broad IAM roles, and exposed services that automated CSPM noise buries, and show the exact attack paths they enable, so you fix the issues that actually lead to breach.
Attack-Path Clarity
See how an attacker would chain findings to reach your data, not just an unranked list.
Compliance Alignment
Posture mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and CIS for audit readiness.
Actionable Roadmap
Prioritized fixes with IaC snippets your engineers can apply immediately.
Benchmark Scoring
A clear posture score to baseline today and measure improvement.
Detection Gaps Found
We flag logging and monitoring blind spots before attackers exploit them.

FAQ
Common questions
01How is this different from your Cloud Pentesting?
This assessment is a posture and configuration review: read-only analysis of your cloud control plane against benchmarks to find misconfigurations and exposure. Cloud pentesting is adversarial, actively exploiting weaknesses to prove impact. Many clients do an assessment first to clean up posture, then pentest to validate.
02Do you need access to our cloud accounts?
Yes, but only read-only. We use a scoped security-audit role to enumerate configurations and identities. We never need write access or production credentials.
03Which clouds do you cover?
AWS, Azure, and GCP, including multi-cloud and hybrid setups. We benchmark each against the relevant CIS controls and the provider's own security best practices.
04Isn't this just running a CSPM tool?
Automated tooling is part of it, but tools generate thousands of low-context alerts. Our value is the manual analysis: chaining findings into real attack paths, eliminating false positives, and prioritizing by genuine business risk.
05What do we get at the end?
A prioritized findings report with evidence and attack-path context, infrastructure-as-code remediation snippets, and a compliance scorecard mapped to CIS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
06How long does an assessment take?
A typical single-cloud assessment runs one to two weeks depending on estate size. Larger multi-cloud environments are scoped accordingly.
