Cloud Security
Evaluate and harden the security posture of your cloud environments
What it is
Cloud security services evaluate and strengthen the security posture of your cloud environments across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or multi-cloud deployments. Assessments review identity and access management configurations, network security groups, encryption settings, logging and monitoring, data storage permissions, and compliance controls. The shared responsibility model means the cloud provider secures the infrastructure, but your organization is responsible for how it is configured and who can access it. Misconfiguration, not sophisticated attacks, is consistently ranked as the top cloud security threat by organizations like the Cloud Security Alliance.
Why it matters
Moving to the cloud does not automatically make your data more or less secure. It shifts the risk from physical infrastructure to configuration and access control. The Cloud Security Alliance ranks misconfiguration as the top cloud security threat, and a single misconfigured storage bucket or overly permissive IAM role can expose sensitive data to the entire internet.
What to expect
An initial assessment typically takes one to two weeks depending on environment complexity. Deliverables include a prioritized findings report, remediation guidance, and optionally ongoing posture monitoring that alerts on configuration drift.

Common questions
Is the cloud less secure than on-premises?
Not inherently. Major cloud providers invest billions in security infrastructure. The risk shifts to configuration and access management, which is where most cloud security incidents originate.
Do we need cloud security if we only use Microsoft 365?
Yes. Microsoft 365 is a cloud environment with its own security configurations: sharing policies, conditional access rules, data loss prevention settings, and audit logging. Default configurations are not optimized for security.
