Cloud Security Assessment

The cloud gives your business speed and scale – but a single misconfigured storage bucket, over-permissive role, or exposed API can undo it all. Persist Security’s cloud security assessment examines your AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments against real-world attack paths and best-practice benchmarks, giving you a clear, prioritized picture of where you are exposed and exactly how to fix it.

Why Assess Your Cloud Security?

Most cloud breaches are not sophisticated – they come from misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and forgotten public assets. Under the shared-responsibility model, your provider secures the cloud, but securing what you put in it is on you. A structured cloud security assessment shows you exactly where that responsibility is slipping, before an attacker or an auditor finds the gap first.

Multi-Cloud Coverage

Assessments across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud – including multi-cloud and hybrid environments – using each provider’s security best practices.

Posture + Expert Review

Automated CSPM scanning combined with hands-on analysis by cloud security experts, so nothing hides behind a green dashboard.

Prioritized, Actionable Report

Findings ranked by severity and business impact, each with a concrete fix – built for engineers and executives alike.

How Our Cloud Assessment Works

1. Scoping & Discovery

We map your cloud accounts, services, and data flows to understand your real attack surface and priorities.

2. Configuration Analysis

Automated posture scanning against CIS Benchmarks and provider best practices across identity, network, storage, and logging.

3. Expert Validation

Our specialists validate findings, chase real attack paths, and eliminate false positives for an accurate risk picture.

4. Report & Roadmap

You receive a prioritized report and a practical remediation roadmap – and, optionally, continuous posture monitoring.

Benefits for Your Organization

Reduced Cloud Risk

Close the misconfigurations and excessive permissions behind most cloud breaches, before attackers exploit them.

Compliance Readiness

Evidence and controls that support ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and cloud-specific regulatory requirements.

Clear Visibility

A single, prioritized view of exposure across every cloud account – no more blind spots.

Continuous Improvement

Optional ongoing posture management keeps your cloud secure as it grows and changes.

What the Assessment Covers

Our assessment combines automated cloud posture analysis (CSPM) with expert manual review across identity and access management, network exposure, data storage, logging, and workload configuration. We map findings to frameworks such as the CIS Benchmarks and the provider’s Well-Architected security pillar, and pair the assessment naturally with our penetration testing, security assessments, and compliance consulting services for full coverage.

From Findings to a Secure Cloud

A cloud assessment is only valuable if it drives action. Every finding is rated by severity and business impact, tied to a concrete remediation step, and – where you want it – built into an ongoing cloud security posture management program so new misconfigurations are caught continuously, not once a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cloud security assessment?

A cloud security assessment is a structured review of your cloud environment – AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud – that identifies misconfigurations, excessive permissions, exposed assets, and weak controls. It combines automated posture scanning with expert analysis and delivers a prioritized report with concrete remediation steps.

Which cloud platforms do you assess?

We assess Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including multi-cloud and hybrid environments. Each assessment is aligned with the security best practices and benchmarks specific to the platform in use.

What is the difference between CSPM and a cloud security assessment?

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is continuous automated monitoring of cloud configuration. A cloud security assessment is a deeper, point-in-time engagement that adds expert validation, real attack-path analysis, and a prioritized remediation roadmap. Many organizations start with an assessment and then adopt ongoing CSPM.

Does a cloud security assessment help with compliance?

Yes. Frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR require you to demonstrate that cloud data and systems are properly secured. A documented cloud security assessment provides the evidence and control validation auditors expect.
