Cloud Security Assessment & Cloud Penetration Testing
Protect what matters with Cloud Security Assessment & Cloud Penetration Testing
The cloud does not fail the way old data centres did — it fails through misconfiguration. A single over-permissive IAM role, a public storage bucket or an exposed management port can undo everything else. Aesparrow’s Cloud Security Assessment reviews your AWS, Azure or GCP environment against the provider’s Well-Architected security guidance and the CIS Benchmarks, finding the configuration, identity and exposure issues that scanners and default settings leave behind.
We assess identity and access management, network configuration, storage and encryption, logging and monitoring, and workload security — then show you exactly what an attacker could reach and how to lock it down. Findings are prioritised by real business impact and mapped to CIS and your compliance obligations, with clear, provider-specific remediation and a free re-test once you have applied the fixes.

Overview
A Cloud Security Assessment is a configuration and architecture review of your cloud environment. We evaluate identity, network, storage, logging and workload security against best practice and the CIS Benchmarks, and demonstrate the real-world impact of any gaps.
What we review
- Identity & access management — over-privilege, roles, keys and MFA
- Network configuration — security groups, NACLs and exposure
- Storage & encryption — public buckets and data protection
- Logging & monitoring — CloudTrail/Activity logs and detection coverage
- Workload & container security — compute, serverless and images
- Secrets & key management — exposed credentials and key handling
Framework mapping
- CIS Benchmarks — AWS, Azure and GCP secure-configuration baselines
- Cloud Well-Architected security pillar — provider best practice
- NIST SP 800-53 / 800-115 — controls and technical testing
