Our Approach

The Cloud Security Assessment service takes into consideration the operational and business context of the deployment and associated compliance requirements. The CSF ensures controls against vulnerabilities and compliance adherence while being least disruptive to ongoing operations. The service also takes into account the deployment architecture to identify any missing controls or gaps in the deployment that'll lead to a potential compromise. The service covers all aspects of your deployment, from Access Control and Management, Transport Security and monitoring and operations monitoring, Application Control, Logging, and all the up till Data handling strategies employed. The CSF also ensures the secure configuration of individual subscriptions and services employed by your enterprise, providing you with a 360-degree assurance of your cloud deployment. In addition to passive validation using CSF, our service also employs active Penetration Testing against permitted CSP services and configuration settings to test the efficacy of the deployed controls.
