Cloud Security Assessment & Penetration Testing Services
CIS Benchmark Audits, Cloud IAM Privilege Escalation Remediation, Public S3 Leak Prevention & Kubernetes Posture Hardening.
In-depth architecture review and configuration auditing across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes clusters against CIS Benchmarks, mitigating IAM privilege leaks and exposed assets.
Technical Scope & Deep Architectural Analysis
Standard Operational Verification Checklist
- Provision read-only SecurityAudit IAM role in target cloud accounts
- Run automated baseline scans against CIS Benchmarks for AWS, Azure, or GCP
- Audit IAM users and service accounts with inactive keys or wildcard permissions (*)
- Verify default encryption on all EBS volumes, S3 buckets, and RDS instances
- Inspect Kubernetes API servers for public exposure and verify Pod Security Standards
- Provide DevOps teams with Terraform/CloudFormation code fixes for instant remediation
Key Deliverables Included
- Multi-Cloud Security Gap Analysis Report with CIS Benchmark Compliance Score
- IAM Least-Privilege Optimization Matrix and Role Revocation Scripts
- Terraform / IaC Hardening Playbook for Automated Guardrail Enforcement
- Attestation Letter for Cloud Security Audit
Primary Attack Vectors
- IAM Role Privilege Escalation via PassRole and AssumeRolePolicy Misconfigurations
- Exposed IMDSv1 Endpoints Permitting Cloud Credential Stealing via SSRF
- Publicly Accessible S3 Buckets, RDS Snapshots, and ElasticSearch Clusters
- Privileged Kubernetes Containers with hostPath Mounts Permitting Node Takeover

Request Scoping ConsultationFrequently Asked Questions (Cloud Security Assessment)
Can BlueCiphr conduct a cloud security assessment without administrative write credentials?
Yes. In fact, our standardized methodology strictly mandates read-only access. We provision a scoped SecurityAudit role across your AWS, Azure, or GCP tenancies, ensuring complete read-only posture visibility without any ability to modify resources, terminate virtual machines, or disrupt production workloads.
How do you test for Cloud IAM privilege escalation?
Over 80% of cloud compromises occur through over-privileged IAM roles. We analyze multi-step escalation paths—such as PassRole to EC2/Lambda with AdministratorAccess, CreateAccessKey permissions on service accounts, and cross-account assume-role misconfigurations—providing automated Terraform and CloudFormation least-privilege remediation templates.
Do you audit Kubernetes clusters and container runtimes?
Yes. We audit Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, and self-hosted Kubernetes clusters. Our evaluation covers API server exposure, Pod Security Standards (PSS), RBAC privilege boundaries, container image vulnerability scanning, and hostPath mount risks.
Does the assessment fulfill RBI and SEBI cloud computing mandates?
Yes. Our audit reports directly map findings against RBI Guidelines on Information Security and Cloud Computing, SEBI CSCRF Cloud Guidance, and CIS Cloud Benchmarks v3.0, including signed Attestation Letters accepted by statutory inspectors.
