Cloud Penetration Testing

Assess the Security of Your Cloud Environment

Securebytes provides cloud security testing and configuration review services designed to identify vulnerabilities, insecure configurations, excessive permissions, and identity-related risks across modern cloud platforms including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft 365.


As organisations increasingly rely on cloud infrastructure and SaaS platforms, misconfigurations and identity weaknesses continue to represent one of the most common causes of security incidents. Our assessments help organisations better understand their cloud security posture and identify practical improvements to reduce risk and strengthen resilience.


Assessments align with recognised industry best practices and focus on realistic attack paths, privilege escalation opportunities, exposed services, and identity security weaknesses.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

AWS assessments focus on identifying configuration weaknesses, excessive permissions, exposed services, insecure storage, and identity-related risks across AWS environments.


Typical areas assessed include:

  • IAM permissions and privilege exposure
  • S3 bucket security
  • Publicly exposed services
  • Security group configurations
  • Logging and monitoring configuration
  • Identity and access management
  • Container and serverless security
  • Key management and secrets exposure

Microsoft Azure

Azure assessments evaluate cloud infrastructure, identity controls, networking, and security configurations to identify weaknesses that could allow unauthorised access or privilege escalation.


Typical areas assessed include:

  • Azure AD configuration
  • Conditional Access policies
  • Role assignments and permissions
  • Public service exposure
  • Virtual network security
  • Identity and MFA configuration
  • Logging and monitoring controls
  • Privileged account managemen

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

GCP assessments focus on configuration security, identity management, service exposure, and cloud resource permissions across Google Cloud environments.


Typical areas assessed include:

  • IAM configuration and permissions
  • Storage bucket security
  • Exposed cloud services
  • Logging and monitoring configuration
  • Identity security controls
  • Service account permissions
  • API exposure and access controls
  • Network segmentation and firewall rules

Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 configuration reviews assess the security posture of cloud productivity and identity services including Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, Entra ID, and supporting security controls. Assessments help organisations identify weaknesses affecting account security, email security, access controls, and cloud identity protection.


Typical areas assessed include:

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • Conditional Access configuration
  • Mail flow and email security
  • External sharing controls
  • Privileged account management
  • Legacy authentication exposure
  • Security logging and alerting
  • User and administrative permissions

What’s Included

Every infrastructure assessment is tailored to the environment and objectives of the organisation, however standard engagements typically include:

Scoping and environment review
Cloud configuration assessment
Identity and access review
Privilege analysis
Public exposure assessment
Technical and management reporting
Retest support where required
Access to the Securebytes reporting portal

REAL-TIME REPORTING

Securebytes provides clients with access to a modern reporting portal designed to improve visibility, collaboration, and remediation management throughout the assessment lifecycle. Rather than relying solely on static reports, the portal provides an interactive environment where findings, updates, and remediation activity can be managed in real time.

Real-Time Findings Access

View vulnerabilities and security findings as they are identified during the engagement, allowing remediation activities to begin before the final report is delivered.

Asset-Based Finding Management

Findings can be associated with specific assets, applications, or environments, helping organisations clearly understand where vulnerabilities exist and prioritise remediation effectively.

Integrated Collaboration & Communication

Communicate directly with consultants through built-in finding discussions, enabling efficient clarification, remediation support, and ongoing collaboration throughout the assessment.

Remediation & Retest Tracking

Track remediation progress by marking findings as resolved or risk accepted, creating a clear workflow for remediation validation and formal retesting activities.
