Configuration assessment
Storage exposure, network paths, encryption posture, and logging gaps across your accounts, benchmarked and prioritized by what's actually reachable.

The postmortem won't blame your cloud provider
Cloud breaches almost never exploit the provider. They exploit what customers configured: a public bucket, an over-privileged role, a forgotten access key, a flat network. All of it sits on your side of the shared-responsibility line, and that side is what we test: configuration, identity, and workloads, chained together the way an intruder would chain them.
Independent quality engineering & cybersecurity since 2020, with 100+ security & quality engineers, delivering on platforms we build and run ourselves.
Misconfigurations are enumerable at internet scale, so automated attackers find a public bucket in hours. One leaked key can be the whole dataset, and the audit that now covers your cloud estate will ask who checked.
What we do
Identity & access review
IAM roles, policies, trust relationships, and key hygiene: the privilege-escalation paths that turn one foothold into full control.
Workload testing
Containers, functions, and instances assessed for image vulnerabilities, metadata-service abuse, and runtime exposure, so a single compromised workload stays a single compromised workload.
Attack-path validation
Findings chained the way an attacker would ('this bucket plus this role equals your database'), so the priority order argues for itself.
How it’s delivered

Inventory
Accounts, services, and data flows mapped.
02
Assess
Configuration, identity, and workload testing with read-only credentials plus agreed active tests.
03
Chain
Attack-path analysis across the findings.
04
Verify
Remediation retest and a posture baseline.

Evidence
The public S3 bucket
In one assessment, a world-readable S3 bucket sat beside a JWT validation flaw: two moderate findings apart, a complete data-access path together. The client fixed both, the retest confirmed it, and that chain is why we test configuration and application in the same engagement.
Customer success →Engagement
Ways to engage the same senior bench
Buy it as a scoped project, embed it in your team, or run it as a managed service. The engineers and the governance stay the same, whichever shape fits.
Point-in-time assessment
One scoped assessment with a full report and one retest: for a release gate, a customer or audit requirement, or an annual baseline.
Standing program
Recurring cycles matched to your release cadence, each closed by a retest, so the newest report is never far behind the newest release.
On-demand scope additions
A new application, API, or environment joins the existing program without re-contracting; scoping starts in days.
Who this is for
- Teams that migrated fast and audited never
- Companies whose SOC 2 or ISO 27001 scope now includes their cloud infrastructure
- Engineering orgs with multi-account sprawl and no single security view
Common questions
Which clouds do you cover?
AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle Cloud: configuration, identity, and workload assessment of the half of shared responsibility that's yours, which is where nearly all cloud incidents begin.
Will you touch production?
Assessment runs with read-only credentials plus a set of active tests agreed in advance. Attack-path analysis chains findings the way an attacker would, without disrupting workloads.
Is retesting included?
Remediation of reported findings is verified and the report updated to 'remediated and retested', the wording auditors expect. Retest scope and window are set in the engagement agreement.
One practice, one loop
This is one stage of a single assurance loop: findings become regression tests, and their indicators become live detections, so a problem, once fixed, can’t quietly come back. A stack of separate vendors has no way to close that loop. See how the loop connects →
Test your side of shared responsibility
Read-only credentials and an agreed test plan are enough to begin. You finish with your misconfigurations chained, ranked, and ready to fix in order.
