PLAIN-LANGUAGE EXPLANATION

PLAIN-LANGUAGE EXPLANATION

Cloud penetration testing - what it actually is

Cloud penetration testing is a structured security exercise where certified ethical hackers test your cloud infrastructure — AWS, Azure, or GCP – to find security weaknesses before real attackers do. It goes beyond automated CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) scanning to find the misconfigurations, IAM privilege escalation paths, and container escape vulnerabilities that real cloud breaches exploit.

Cloud security follows a shared responsibility model: the cloud provider secures the infrastructure (datacenter, hypervisor, hardware); you secure everything you put on top (IAM, security groups, S3 buckets, applications, data). 99% of cloud breaches happen on the customer side – misconfigured S3 buckets, over-privileged IAM roles, exposed Kubernetes APIs, weak secrets management. Cloud penetration testing focuses on YOUR side of the responsibility line – the part you actually control.

If your business runs in the cloud – and most modern businesses do – your cloud environment is your most valuable and most attacked asset. Indian regulators (RBI Cloud Adoption Policy, SEBI cybersecurity framework, DPDP Act) require demonstrable cloud security testing. Enterprise buyers demand cloud audit evidence. And one misconfigured S3 bucket or over-privileged IAM role can expose your entire customer database overnight. Cloud penetration testing isn’t optional – it’s how serious cloud-first businesses prove they take security seriously.

OUR APPROACH

OUR APPROACH

Our proven 6-step cloud penetration testing methodology

We follow CIS Benchmarks, NIST SP 800-204, MITRE ATT&CK Cloud Matrix, and provider-specific frameworks (AWS Well-Architected, Azure Security Benchmark, GCP CIS). Every cloud engagement runs through these six steps.

Cloud Reconnaissance & Inventory

Cloud Reconnaissance & Inventory

We catalog every cloud account, region, subscription, and service in scope — building a complete inventory of compute, storage, networking, IAM, and data services across AWS, Azure, GCP.

IAM & Identity Review

IAM & Identity Review

We map every IAM user, role, service principal, group, and policy – identifying over-privileged identities, unused access keys, weak MFA, and privilege escalation paths.

Misconfiguration Hunting

Misconfiguration Hunting

Industry tools (Prowler, ScoutSuite, CloudSploit, Pacu) plus manual review against CIS Benchmarks identify S3/Blob exposures, weak security groups, KMS gaps, and logging deficiencies.

Privilege Escalation & Lateral Movement

Privilege Escalation & Lateral Movement

Senior consultants exploit IAM chain attacks, container escape vulnerabilities, instance metadata service abuse, and lateral movement opportunities specific to cloud environments.

Audit-Grade Reporting

Audit-Grade Reporting

Every finding documented with CSP-specific reproduction steps, CIS Benchmark mapping, CVSS scoring, business impact, and remediation IaC snippets (Terraform/CloudFormation).

Free Retest

Free Retest

Once your team patches the findings (typically via IaC), we verify the fixes at no extra cost. Engagement only closes when every critical and high finding is actually fixed.

We work with companies that take cybersecurity seriously - from 20-person startups to 2,000-person enterprises - across BFSI, fintech, healthcare, government, and SaaS.

CLOUD TESTING SCOPE

CLOUD TESTING SCOPE

What we test in a cloud penetration testing engagement

Click any area to expand. Most engagements cover 3-5 of these — scope is finalized during the free scoping call.

IAM is the #1 attack vector in cloud environments. We map every IAM user, role, group, and service principal in your AWS / Azure / GCP environment. We test for over-privileged identities, unused or stale access keys, missing MFA on privileged accounts, weak password policies, IAM role chaining vulnerabilities, cross-account trust misconfigurations, and AssumeRole abuse paths. We also test Azure Active Directory privileged identity management and GCP IAM service account impersonation.
