Cloud penetration testing

Research-led cloud pentest, the path from misconfig to data.

CREST-accredited researchers attack AWS, Azure, and GCP environments the way an adversary would: IAM escalation, metadata abuse, lateral movement, data exfil. Two weeks from kickoff to a report your auditor accepts.

Why this matters

Most cloud pentests stop at the config audit. Attackers chain configs into root.

  • Config-audit reports flag 200 mediums; none prove a path to data. Auditors and execs ask the same question: so what?

  • IAM bugs only become criticals when chained with metadata abuse, lateral pivot, or storage misconfigurations. Checklist firms miss the chain.

  • Multi-cloud bugs (cross-account roles, federation, shared SSO) sit in the seam where single-cloud testers blink.

Here is what we do differently.

Why teams pick us

Path to data, not 200 mediums.

  • Per-cloud bug classes

    AWS (IMDSv1, AssumeRole loops, S3 ACL drift), Azure (Managed Identity, Graph abuse, key-vault leaks), GCP (service-account impersonation, OAuth scope creep).

  • Chained to data, not config

    We don't stop at 'policy is overly permissive.' We prove the path to your bucket.

  • Evidence for the right auditor

    SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and CIS benchmarks. Findings tagged to controls.

How it works

From intro to report in two weeks.

  1. Scope across clouds

    Tell us accounts, regions, and the data surface that matters. Read-only IAM role provisioned on the call.

  2. Pentesters chain paths

    IAM-to-data and metadata-to-lateral chains. Federation and cross-account roles included.

  3. Findings with the path

    Each finding ships with reproducer, AWS, Azure, or GCP CLI commands, and a fix per control.

Common questions

What buyers ask before they sign.

Which clouds?
AWS, Azure, GCP. Hybrid (on-prem plus cloud) and multi-cloud federation covered.
What access do you need?
Read-only IAM role per account, scoped to the engagement. No prod writes without explicit approval.
Will you find IAM escalation?
Yes. AssumeRole loops, condition gaps, managed-identity abuse, service-account impersonation, OAuth scope creep.
Is it safe on production?
Yes. Read-only and recon by default. Destructive actions require explicit per-finding approval.
What about Kubernetes and serverless?
Covered. EKS, AKS, GKE, Lambda, Functions, container escape, secrets in env vars.
