Cloud penetration testing services
Cloud penetration testing. For AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.
A misconfigured role or an exposed bucket is rarely the whole story. We test how those small gaps chain into real access across your cloud, then hand you the fixes and the evidence your auditor needs.
Four providers
AWS · Azure · GCP · Kubernetes, one method, four control planes.
Evidence
Working proof-of-exploit and code-level fix guidance on every finding.
Re-test included
We verify your fixes at no extra cost. One engagement, closed loop.
The window from vulnerability discovery to exploitation has gone from weeks to hours.

On record
Cloud depth.
One misconfiguration is never just one finding. It's the first step into your account.
A single over-permissive role or an exposed key is rarely the whole risk. We chain those small gaps the way an attacker would, from one weak setting to real access across your account, and show you exactly where the path breaks. For Amazon-specific depth, see AWS penetration testing.
What we test
Four cloud surfaces. One engagement.
Each provider gets a manual, threat-modelled review against its real attack surface, control plane, identity, network, and workload. Intensity tunes per scope.
Amazon AWS
IMDSv1 SSRF, IAM role chaining, public S3 enumeration, Lambda over-privilege, EKS cluster-role abuse, KMS key-policy misuse, Cognito user-pool misconfig, Secrets Manager exposure.
Microsoft Azure
Managed identity over-scope, Storage Account SAS leak, Function App env exposure, AKS pod-identity abuse, Key Vault access policy bypass, Azure AD application consent, Logic App secret reuse.
Google Cloud Platform
Workload-identity confusion, service-account impersonation, Cloud Run scope abuse, GKE node pool escape, Secret Manager IAM gaps, Cloud Storage bucket policy bypass, Cloud Functions trigger replay.
Kubernetes
Pod escape via privileged container, RBAC bypass, etcd exposure, kubelet API abuse, sidecar/init container attack paths, NetworkPolicy gaps, admission-controller bypass, ServiceAccount token theft.
CLOUD PENTEST METHODOLOGY.

Cloud testing, UK answers.
Do you cover all 14 NCSC Cloud Principles?
Yes. Each principle gets a section — data in transit, supply chain, identity, secure development. Findings link to the principle paragraph.
How does the test align to FCA FG16/5?
Cloud outsourcing controls in FG16/5 paragraphs 4 through 7 map to specific tenancy and exit-strategy findings. PRA SS2/21 covered too.
Are the operators based in the UK?
Engagement lead UK-based. Senior reviewers in Austin and Pune; UK-cleared operators where the scope requires.
Where do logs and screenshots live?
UK-region tenancy by default. EEA fallback only with explicit written consent under the UK Adequacy Decision.
Delivery in United Kingdom
Cloud pentest. NCSC 14 Principles evidence.
Findings map to the NCSC Cloud Security 14 Principles and FCA FG16/5 outsourcing controls. Tenant data stays UK-resident through the engagement.
