Assessment Areas

What We Assess in Your Cloud Posture

Comprehensive posture review from identity and access management to network exposure, data protection, and compliance alignment across all cloud platforms.

IAM Policy and Role Review

Audit IAM policies, roles, and permissions across all accounts for privilege escalation paths, over-permissive policies, and unused credentials.

Secrets and Key Management

Assess KMS, secrets manager, and certificate configurations for weak key policies, unrotated credentials, and hardcoded secrets in repositories.

Service Account and Workload Identity

Review service accounts, workload identity configurations, and machine identities for excessive permissions and credential exposure.

MFA and Authentication Policies

Evaluate multi-factor authentication enforcement, password policies, and conditional access rules across cloud accounts.

Cross-Account and Federation

Assess cross-account access, SAML/OIDC federation configurations, and external identity providers for trust abuse and token manipulation.

Privilege Escalation Paths

Map all paths from low-privileged user to full admin across accounts, roles, and cross-account trust relationships.

Network Architecture and Segmentation

Review VPC, subnet, security group, and firewall configurations for overly permissive rules, public exposure, and inadequate segmentation.

Data Storage Security

Audit S3 buckets, Azure Blob, and GCS for public access, unencrypted data, misconfigured ACLs, and insecure cross-account sharing.

Security Groups and NACLs

Review inbound and outbound rules for overly permissive access, default-allow configurations, and management port exposure to the internet.

Public-Facing Assets

Identify publicly exposed load balancers, API gateways, and services that should be internal-only or restricted by IP.

Encryption at Rest and Transit

Verify that all storage services, databases, and data transfers use encryption with appropriate key management and TLS configurations.

DNS and CDN Configuration

Assess Route 53, Azure DNS, and Cloud DNS configurations for subdomain takeover, zone transfer, and CDN origin exposure vulnerabilities.

Cloud Logging and Audit Trails

Verify CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, and GCP Audit Logs are enabled with adequate retention, and that critical security events generate alerts.

CIS Benchmarks Compliance

Evaluate cloud configurations against CIS Benchmarks for AWS, Azure, and GCP to identify deviations from security best practices.

Alerting and Incident Detection

Assess CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, and GCP Cloud Monitoring alert configurations for coverage gaps and misconfigured thresholds.

NIST CSF and Regulatory Alignment

Map cloud configurations to NIST CSF, RBI, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and DPDP Act requirements to identify compliance gaps and remediation priorities.

Policy and Governance Review

Review AWS Config rules, Azure Policy, and GCP Organization Policies for enforcement gaps, disabled rules, and non-compliant resources.

Configuration Drift Detection

Identify configuration drift from approved baselines across accounts and regions, flagging resources that deviate from secure golden configurations.

Methodology

How We Run a Cloud Security Posture Assessment

A structured, CSPM-driven approach aligned with CIS Benchmarks, from initial scoping through verified remediation.

Phase 01

Scope & Access

Define accounts, subscriptions, or projects in scope and provision read-only access via IAM roles, service principals, or API credentials.

Phase 02

Automated CSPM Scan

Run automated CSPM scanning across all in-scope cloud resources to detect misconfigurations, policy violations, and compliance drift against CIS Benchmarks.

Phase 03

Manual Validation

Validate automated findings with expert manual review to eliminate false positives and uncover complex configuration issues that tools miss.

Phase 04

Risk Prioritisation

Prioritise findings by exploitability, blast radius, and business impact mapped to CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, and your compliance requirements.

Phase 05

Remediation Guidance

CVSS-scored findings with executive summary, per-resource remediation steps, and Infrastructure as Code fix examples for each issue.

Phase 06

Re-Validation

Free re-test of all critical and high-severity findings after your team applies remediations to confirm the fixes are effective and posture has improved.

Who It's For

Who Needs Cloud Security Posture Assessment

Cloud-First Organisations

Businesses built entirely on AWS, Azure, or GCP where a single misconfigured bucket or IAM policy can expose customer data and erode trust.

Regulated Industries

Banking, healthcare, and fintech firms with cloud-specific compliance requirements under RBI, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and DPDP Act that demand continuous posture validation.

Multi-Cloud Enterprises

Organisations running workloads across AWS, Azure, and GCP simultaneously who need unified visibility into misconfigurations and compliance gaps across all platforms.

FAQ

Questions We Get Asked Often

A cloud security posture assessment continuously evaluates your cloud environment against security best practices and compliance frameworks to identify misconfigurations, over-permissive access, unencrypted resources, and logging gaps across AWS, Azure, and GCP. It delivers a prioritised remediation roadmap aligned to CIS Benchmarks and your compliance requirements.

A cloud security assessment is a broader engagement that includes penetration testing and exploitation validation of cloud environments. A cloud security posture assessment focuses specifically on configuration review and compliance alignment using CSPM methodologies, identifying misconfigurations and policy violations without active exploitation. Both are complementary.

Scyverge assesses AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform environments including IAM configurations, storage buckets, network security groups, logging configurations, and cloud-native service settings against CIS Benchmarks and security best practices.

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) continuously monitors cloud environments for misconfigurations such as publicly exposed storage, over-permissive IAM policies, unencrypted data stores, disabled logging, and inadequate network segmentation. CSPM provides automated detection and alerting to maintain a secure cloud posture continuously.

Typical engagements take 3 to 7 business days for initial assessment depending on the number of accounts, subscriptions, or projects in scope. Ongoing CSPM monitoring programmes are also available for continuous posture management with monthly reporting and alerting.
