Find misconfigurations and exposure risks across your cloud environment
NeedSec reviews AWS, Azure, and GCP environments to identify overprivileged identities, exposed storage, insecure network controls, and misconfigured services that could lead to data breach or system compromise. We map realistic attack paths specific to your cloud setup.
Manual-led testing
Every assessment is led by a qualified security engineer — human judgment, not just automated scanning.
Evidence-backed findings
Each vulnerability includes proof of concept, reproduction steps, and a business-impact risk rating.
Actionable fix guidance
Reports are structured for developers and decision makers so remediation can start immediately.
What We Test
Focused testing against realistic attack paths
NeedSec combines manual testing, structured methodology, and business-focused reporting to identify issues that matter — not just scanner noise.
IAM policy review — overprivileged roles, stale accounts, and federation risk
Storage security — S3, Azure Blob, and GCS bucket exposure and public access
Network security groups, VPC/VNet configuration, and firewall rule analysis
Compute hardening — exposed ports, weak credentials, and OS patch status
Secrets management — hardcoded credentials, exposed keys, and rotation gaps
Cloud database security — access controls, encryption, and public endpoint exposure
Serverless function security — environment variables and excessive permissions
Container and Kubernetes security — pod security and image configuration
Logging, monitoring, and alerting coverage review across all services
Cloud-native privilege escalation and lateral movement path analysis
Cross-account trust and third-party integration risk review
CIS Benchmarks and cloud well-architected framework alignment gaps
