Question 1

What does a Cloud Security Assessment cover?

Accepted Answer

We evaluate your entire cloud environment, focusing on its overall posture, identity management, network configurations, and data protection mechanisms. Our goal is to ensure your infrastructure is resilient against cloud-native threats and follows industry best practices like the CIS Benchmarks. We provide a comprehensive view of your cloud risk across all services and regions.

Question 2

Why is IAM (Identity and Access Management) central to cloud security?

Accepted Answer

In the cloud, identity has replaced the traditional network perimeter as the primary security boundary. We deeply audit your IAM policies to identify over-privileged users and service roles, enforcing the principle of least privilege. Strong IAM controls are the most effective way to prevent unauthorized access and limit the impact of a compromised account.

Question 3

How do you assess cloud network architecture?

Accepted Answer

We review your Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), security groups, and routing tables to ensure your internal services are properly isolated. We look for misconfigurations that might expose databases or management ports to the public internet. A well-designed cloud network architecture prevents lateral movement and ensures that only legitimate traffic can reach your critical workloads.

Question 4

What do you check regarding encryption, logging, and monitoring?

Accepted Answer

We verify that your data is encrypted both at rest and in transit using strong, managed keys. We also audit your logging and monitoring configurations to ensure that all administrative actions and security events are tracked and alerted upon. This creates the visibility needed for both real-time threat detection and post-incident forensic analysis.

Question 5

How do you evaluate secrets management in the cloud?

Accepted Answer

We ensure that sensitive credentials, like API keys and database passwords, are not hardcoded or stored in plain text. Instead, we verify they are securely stored, managed, and rotated using native cloud vault services like AWS Secrets Manager or Azure Key Vault. Proper secrets management is a critical defense against credential theft and unauthorized system access.
