Cloud Security Assessment

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.

01

IAM policy review — overprivileged roles, stale accounts, and federation risk

02

Storage security — S3, Azure Blob, and GCS bucket exposure and public access

03

Network security groups, VPC/VNet configuration, and firewall rule analysis

04

Compute hardening — exposed ports, weak credentials, and OS patch status

05

Secrets management — hardcoded credentials, exposed keys, and rotation gaps

06

Cloud database security — access controls, encryption, and public endpoint exposure

07

Serverless function security — environment variables and excessive permissions

08

Container and Kubernetes security — pod security and image configuration

09

Logging, monitoring, and alerting coverage review across all services

10

Cloud-native privilege escalation and lateral movement path analysis

11

Cross-account trust and third-party integration risk review

12

CIS Benchmarks and cloud well-architected framework alignment gaps
