Cloud and hybrid security
Cloud and Hybrid Infrastructure Security Audit
Evaluate whether cloud services and their connections to on-premises systems and data centers are configured to resist misuse and reveal suspicious activity.
The business problem
Why this assessment matters.
Cloud platforms make secure capabilities available, but responsibility for configuring them remains with the customer. Rapid delivery can leave public exposure, broad roles, incomplete logging and inconsistent guardrails across accounts or subscriptions.
Hybrid environments add trust paths between cloud services, corporate networks and data centers. Our audit evaluates technical configuration and the operating model across those boundaries, distinguishing isolated misconfigurations from systemic weaknesses in landing zones, connectivity, policy enforcement and ownership.
Audit coverage
What we assess.
Final scope reflects your environment, critical systems, risk profile and assurance objective.
AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions and organization structure
Cloud IAM roles, service principals and keys
Hybrid connectivity to on-premises systems and data centers
Network exposure and segmentation
Storage, database and secrets protection
Logging, alerting and audit-trail retention
Workload, container and serverless security
Guardrails, policy-as-code and exception governance
Assessment process
How the audit works.
Testing is evidence-led, risk-based and designed to protect business operations.
- Confirm cloud, hybrid and data center scope, critical workloads and shared-responsibility boundaries
- Collect configuration evidence through read-only roles and exports
- Analyze exposure, privilege, connectivity and logging coverage
- Validate high-risk paths without changing production resources
- Map corrective actions to platform-native and on-premises controls with accountable owners

Frequently asked questions
Planning your cloud security assessment.
Do you need administrator access?
No. Read-only audit roles and exported configuration evidence are normally sufficient.
Can you assess cloud and on-premises systems together?
Yes. We can trace identities, network paths, logging and control dependencies across AWS, Azure, private cloud, corporate networks and data centers.
Will you change cloud resources?
Not during an audit. Validation is non-destructive unless a separately approved test procedure requires a controlled change.
Can you review infrastructure as code?
Yes. Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep and pipeline controls can be included to identify recurring configuration risk before deployment.
Does the report separate platform and customer responsibility?
Yes. Findings clearly identify the affected responsibility, service configuration and recommended owner.
