Network & Cloud Security Assessment
External and internal network tests and AWS, Azure and Google Cloud configuration reviews.
The perimeter is now an internet-facing estate plus a cloud console. We test both: external and internal network penetration testing to find the paths into and across your infrastructure, and cloud configuration reviews to find the identity, storage and network settings that attackers rely on.
The output is an attack-path map and a prioritised hardening plan, so fixes go where they cut the most risk.
- We chain findings into attack paths so you see how an intrusion would actually unfold.
- Cloud reviews go beyond benchmark checklists to the misconfigurations attackers use.
- Our IT consultants can implement the hardening plan if your team is stretched.
- A bank or airline with a large on-premises estate, several cloud accounts and one identity provider tying them together.
- A manufacturer or logistics group whose operational sites connect to the corporate network.
- A company that has just completed a cloud migration and has never had the result tested.
- Nobody has a full list of internet-facing hosts.
- Cloud accounts were created by project teams outside central control.
- Privileged accounts exist without multi-factor authentication.
- Active Directory has grown for years without a review of paths to domain admin.
What is included.
- 01
External network testing
Internet-facing hosts and services enumerated and tested for exploitable weaknesses.
- 02
Internal network testing
Assumed-breach testing from inside, including Active Directory and lateral movement.
- 03
Cloud configuration review
IAM, storage, networking, logging and workload settings reviewed against benchmarks and real attack paths.
- 04
Microsoft 365 and identity review
Tenant configuration, conditional access, MFA coverage and privileged accounts.
- 05
Hardening plan
Prioritised fixes with effort and impact, reviewed with your team.
Four steps, no surprises.
- 01
Scope
Ranges, accounts, tenants and rules of engagement agreed.
- 02
Map
Enumeration of hosts, services, identities and cloud resources.
- 03
Attack
Exploitation and privilege escalation within agreed limits.
- 04
Harden
Attack-path report, hardening plan and retest.
From first meeting to steady state.
- 01Week 1
Scope and map
Ranges, accounts, tenants and rules agreed, then enumeration of hosts, services, identities and cloud resources.
- 02Weeks 2 to 3
Attack
External and assumed-breach internal testing with exploitation and privilege escalation within agreed limits.
- 03Weeks 4 to 5
Report and harden
Attack-path map, prioritised hardening plan and a review with your team, followed by retest.
- Attack paths to critical assets closed, tracked to retest.
- Misconfigurations by severity across cloud accounts and tenants.
- Privileged accounts brought under multi-factor and conditional access.
- Internet-facing services reduced to those with a known owner.
- Lead infrastructure tester
- Cloud security consultant
- Identity and directory specialist
- Engagement manager
- Attack-path map.
- Misconfiguration and vulnerability list with severity.
- Cloud and identity review report.
- Prioritised hardening plan.
- Retest confirmation.
Assessments are fixed scope based on the number of hosts, accounts and tenants. External tests typically take one week, internal tests one to two weeks and cloud reviews one to two weeks, with reporting following. Quarterly external testing is available on a retainer.
Cloud Migration & Modernisation
Move workloads to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or hybrid and refactor the legacy systems that hold you back.
CybersecurityAttack Surface & Vulnerability Management
Continuous discovery and scanning of exposed assets with fixes prioritised by real risk.
CybersecurityPenetration Testing (Web, API, Mobile)
Manual, adversary-style testing of applications and their business logic, with a retest included.
Network & Cloud Security Assessment, in plain terms.
We start from the position of an attacker who already has a foothold, such as a phished user, and see how far they can get. It is the most realistic view of internal risk.
Yes. AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, plus the identity provider that ties them together.
Testing is planned to avoid disruption, with agreed windows and exclusions. Anything with outage risk is discussed before it is attempted.
External testing at least annually and after significant change. Cloud reviews annually or whenever the architecture changes materially.
