Do you need admin access?
Read-only security review access is usually sufficient for assessment. Any active validation is agreed separately.
Cloud Security Assessment
Assess AWS, Azure, and cloud environments for misconfigurations, exposure, identity risks, storage security, and compliance gaps.
Assessment Overview
PentestHint reviews cloud environments for the misconfigurations attackers exploit most: exposed storage, overprivileged identities, weak network boundaries, and poor monitoring.
What We Assess
- IAM roles, users, policies, and privilege paths
- Public storage and data exposure
- Network security groups, firewalls, and segmentation
- Secrets, keys, and encryption controls
- Logging, monitoring, and incident readiness
- Cloud workload and container exposure
Methodology
- Confirm cloud accounts, subscriptions, regions, and read-only access model.
- Review identity, storage, network, compute, and logging posture.
- Identify privilege escalation and exposure paths.
- Validate findings with safe evidence and configuration context.
- Prioritize remediation by blast radius and operational impact.
Evidence-Based Deliverables
- Executive summary with business impact and risk narrative
- Technical findings with reproducible evidence and affected assets
- Prioritized remediation roadmap with ownership-friendly guidance
- Retest notes validating closure or residual exposure
Standards and Frameworks
- CIS Benchmarks
- AWS Well-Architected
- Azure Security Benchmark
- NIST CSF
- ISO 27001
Business and Technical Context
Cloud Security Assessment helps organizations connect technical observations with business impact, remediation ownership, and security program priorities. PentestHint focuses on clear evidence, practical severity ratings, and recommendations that engineering, IT, risk, and leadership teams can use during remediation planning.
The engagement output is designed to support decision-making, not just list issues. Findings are explained with affected areas, likely impact, validation notes, and next steps so teams can prioritize meaningful security improvements and prepare for retesting or control review.
Scoping considers business criticality, asset ownership, access level, assessment window, operational constraints, compliance needs, and reporting expectations. This keeps the work aligned with the actual environment while still giving teams enough technical detail to fix issues confidently.
Related controls, architecture assumptions, user roles, authentication paths, network exposure, logging visibility, and operational ownership are considered where relevant, so the final guidance supports both immediate remediation and longer-term security posture improvement.
Why PentestHint
We explain cloud findings in terms of blast radius, affected workloads, and remediation owners.
