Cloud Penetration Testing
Cloud penetration testing is a manual, expert-led assessment of your AWS, Azure, and GCP environments that finds and safely exploits weaknesses before attackers do. We combine a deep configuration review with targeted exploitation — misconfigurations, IAM and privilege escalation, exposed storage buckets, metadata/SSRF abuse, leaked secrets, and network exposure — and give you a risk-rated report, remediation guidance, and a free retest.
The flaws that lead to cloud breaches
The misconfigurations and identity gaps attackers exploit most.
Misconfigurations
Insecure defaults, public resources, permissive security groups, disabled logging, and unencrypted data across AWS, Azure, and GCP that quietly widen your attack surface.
IAM & privilege escalation
Over-permissioned roles, risky trust policies, and misused managed policies that let a low-privilege foothold escalate to account or subscription takeover.
Exposed storage buckets
Public or misconfigured S3 buckets, Azure Blob containers, and GCS buckets leaking data — plus writable buckets an attacker can poison.
Metadata & SSRF abuse
Server-side request forgery reaching the instance metadata service to steal temporary credentials and pivot deeper into your cloud environment.
Exposed secrets
Keys and tokens in environment variables, functions, build pipelines, storage, and code that hand attackers direct, persistent access.
Network exposure
Internet-facing services, over-broad ingress rules, and weak segmentation between VPCs, subnets, and workloads that enable lateral movement.
Config review meets real exploitation
Scope
We agree the accounts, subscriptions, or projects in scope, the cloud providers, test roles, and rules of engagement in writing — so testing is safe and authorized.
Configuration review
We assess your IAM, network, storage, logging, and workload configuration against provider best practices and CIS Benchmarks to surface the risky defaults.
Identity & access analysis
We map roles, policies, and trust relationships to find privilege-escalation and lateral-movement paths a real attacker would chain.
Targeted exploitation
We safely prove impact — abusing misconfigurations, escalating privilege, and reaching data — to show exactly what an attacker could do, without disrupting production.
Report
A clear report with an executive summary, risk-rated findings, evidence, and step-by-step remediation your cloud and platform engineers can act on.
Retest
After you remediate, we retest and confirm closure — so you can show auditors and customers the issues are resolved.

Deliverables that drive action
Professional report
Every finding documented with proof-of-concept evidence, affected resources, and reproduction steps — plus a plain-language executive summary.
Remediation guidance
Developer- and platform-ready fixes for each finding — IAM tightening, network changes, encryption, and logging — not just a list of problems.
Free retest & attestation
We re-verify remediated findings and provide a letter of attestation you can share with customers, partners, and auditors.
