Cloud computing has changed the way companies store data, build applications and deliver services. Platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offer advanced security capabilities, but protection of the environment depends directly on how those services are configured and managed.
Most security incidents in cloud environments are not caused by provider failures, but by inadequate configuration, excessive permissions, improperly exposed resources and mistakes in how the infrastructure was implemented.
The goal of a Cloud Pentest is to identify vulnerabilities and insecure configurations before they can be exploited by criminals, allowing fixes to be applied proactively and significantly reducing risk for the organisation.
Depending on the agreed scope, the assessment may include:
The assessment is carried out according to the agreed scope and the permissions made available for the tests.
Most of the analysis is carried out manually by specialists, with automated tools used only to support inventory, reconnaissance and initial checks.
Depending on the authorised scope, we may validate service configuration, identity management, permissions, resource exposure, storage of sensitive information, infrastructure segmentation and controlled exploitation of the vulnerabilities identified.
Tests are executed in a controlled manner, with authorisation from the company, seeking to minimise impact on normal operation of the environment.
At the end of the assessment we deliver a technical report and an executive report containing everything needed to support the remediation of the vulnerabilities identified.
The report includes:
Alongside the technical report we also provide a Penetration Test Attestation Letter, a document that certifies the tests were carried out and can be used as evidence in audits, compliance processes, vendor approval and with clients and business partners.
