Cloud Penetration Testing Services for AWS, Azure & Google Cloud

Our cloud penetration testing services cover AWS, Azure, and GCP. We test the way a real attacker would: mapping misconfigurations, chaining vulnerabilities, and exposing what's exploitable before someone else does. You get a precise and actionable report on your cloud environment security posture.

What We Test

AWS penetration testing

We test EC2 instances, S3 bucket policies, IAM roles, Lambda functions, and API Gateway endpoints across your cloud systems. Our CCPen-X AWS- and AWS Security Specialty-certified engineers know where AWS environments fail in practice, including overly permissive roles, publicly exposed storage, misconfigured VPC settings, and the most common entry points we find.

Azure penetration testing

We assess Azure Active Directory configurations, Blob Storage access controls, VM exposure, and management endpoint security across all cloud resources in scope. Our Microsoft Certified engineers bring provider-level knowledge to every Azure engagement. The team tests the controls Microsoft recommends, including internal cloud environments that are often assumed safe but routinely overlooked.

GCP penetration testing

We test Google Cloud IAM bindings, Cloud Storage permissions, Compute Engine configurations, and Cloud Functions for input validation and role boundaries. Our cloud security-certified engineers apply the same methodology to GCP that they use across other providers. We map the attack surface, chain misconfigurations, and demonstrate real impact on your cloud environment.

Cloud Pentest Methodologies We Use

001

Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES)

PTES defines the structure of pentest cloud services from scoping through exploitation to reporting, and it reflects industry best practices developed specifically for real-world attack scenarios. Our CCPenX-AWS and Security Specialty certified engineers adapt it to cloud-specific realities: shared responsibility models, provider-native services, and IAM-based attack paths. For Azure environments, our security experts bring the same rigor to Microsoft-specific controls and attack surfaces.

002

CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM)

The CSA Cloud Controls Matrix is a security framework built specifically for cloud environments, structured around industry standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. It covers IAM, encryption, logging, and incident response. Our AWS Security Specialty and eWPTX certified engineers use CCM to identify control gaps alongside technical findings, so your remediation effort covers both security and regulatory compliance. Where AI or ML workloads are in scope, our C-AI/MLPen certified engineers extend CCM coverage to model endpoints and inference APIs — areas and security challenges most frameworks don't yet address.

003

MITRE ATT&CK® Cloud Matrix

MITRE ATT&CK® is a globally recognized knowledge base of real-world attacker tactics and techniques. The Cloud Matrix is its cloud-specific layer that covers IaaS, SaaS, identity providers, and office platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including emerging threats that target cloud-native services specifically. It maps how attackers move through cloud environments: from initial access and privilege escalation through lateral movement, credential theft, and data exfiltration. Our security engineers use the Cloud Matrix to evaluate security controls against documented, real-world threat behavior. Every finding maps back to a specific ATT&CK technique.

Cloud Pen Testing Services We Provide

Cloud security audit

A configuration review that checks your cloud security environment against robust security measures and compliance standards. We examine security systems, network settings, storage configurations, serverless functions, and container workloads across your AWS, Azure, or GCP account. You receive a prioritized remediation roadmap with specific findings, clear risk ratings, and actionable next steps to strengthen your cloud defenses.

Internal penetration testing

We simulate a compromised insider: a stolen employee account or a misconfigured role with excessive permissions. Our engineers walk the same privilege escalation paths an attacker would, helping your security team understand where exposure begins. They abuse IAM misconfigurations, move laterally across services, and identify what a low-privilege identity can actually reach inside your cloud platforms. You see exactly how far an attacker gets once they're inside.

External cloud penetration testing

We test everything exposed beyond the cloud perimeter: cloud-based applications, APIs, storage, and infrastructure. On AWS, that means checking S3 bucket policies, EC2 instance exposure, and Lambda function inputs. On Azure, we assess Blob Storage access controls, VM configurations, and exposed management endpoints. On GCP, we review Compute Engine settings, Cloud Storage permissions, and IAM bindings. We also conduct penetration testing for common web vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, broken authentication across any cloud-hosted application or API in scope.

Common Cloud Vulnerabilities We Uncover

Identity and Access Management (IAM) controls who can do what inside your cloud environment. When IAM is misconfigured with overly permissive roles, unused admin accounts, and missing multi-factor authentication, attackers don't need to break in. They walk in using permissions that should never have existed.

We map every identity, role, and policy in scope, then test what each one can access, closing security gaps before they become breach vectors.

S3 buckets on AWS, Blob Storage on Azure, Cloud Storage on GCP — all three are routinely misconfigured and left publicly accessible. A single open bucket can compromise sensitive data: customer data, internal credentials, or backup files.

We check access policies, bucket-level permissions, and encryption settings to identify what's reachable from outside and what critical data is at risk.

Cloud environments are not isolated by default. Without proper segmentation, a foothold in one service can open a path to another — from a public-facing application into a private database, or from one workload into a neighboring container.

We use cloud pen testing tools and manual analysis to test your network controls, security group rules, and service boundaries, identifying security weaknesses that allow lateral movement.

Serverless functions like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions are frequent targets. Attackers exploit them through event injection, over-permissive execution roles, and potential vulnerabilities in environment variable handling.

We run vulnerability testing on every function in scope to check input validation, role boundaries, and what an abused function can reach inside your environment.

Containers are isolated by design, but misconfigured ones aren't. A container escape lets an attacker break out of a workload and access the underlying host, adjacent services, or cluster-wide credentials.

We test your container configurations, Kubernetes RBAC settings, and runtime policies to mitigate vulnerabilities before they provide a path to the host layer. Automated scanning flags known misconfigurations; manual review finds what automation misses.

Cloud environments expose APIs constantly. Misconfigured API Gateway endpoints, unauthenticated routes, and broken object-level authorization are among the most common identified vulnerabilities we see across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

We test every API in scope for authentication weaknesses, excessive data protection failures, and injection vulnerabilities, then document how each finding could affect your cloud resources.

Attackers move carefully when they know no one is watching. Environments without proper AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, or GCP Cloud Audit Logs create compliance gaps and give attackers time to escalate privileges and exfiltrate data undetected.

We assess your logging coverage, alert configurations, and response capabilities so you know exactly where the blind spots are.

Our Cloud Penetration Testing Process

Step 1

Scoping and planning

We begin by mapping your cloud environment: which provider you're on (AWS, Azure, or GCP), what's in scope, what's critical, and what security concerns and compliance requirements apply. This defines the boundaries of the test and ensures we focus our efforts where they matter most, on the cloud architecture and workloads your business depends on.

Step 2

Vulnerability assessment

Our engineers combine manual analysis with targeted tooling to identify weaknesses specific to your cloud setup. That includes misconfigured IAM roles, overly permissive storage buckets, exposed management interfaces, insecure serverless functions, and container workloads with weak isolation. Automated tools flag known issues; manual review finds what they miss.

Step 3

Exploitation

We attempt to exploit confirmed vulnerabilities under controlled conditions, the same way an attacker would. That means chaining misconfigurations, testing lateral movement across services, attempting container escapes, and assessing how far a compromised identity can reach. This phase shows you the real-world impact of each finding.

Step 4

Analysis and reporting

You receive a detailed report that covers every finding: what was discovered, how it was exploited, what an attacker could access, and what to fix. We rate security weaknesses by severity and prioritize them so your team knows what to address first — from quick wins to deeper cloud defenses that require architectural change. We walk you through the results and stay available during remediation.

Benefits Of Cloud Penetration Testing

Enhance security posture

Cloud environments are fast-changing: new services, updated configurations, shifting access controls. Regular penetration testing keeps your security in step with those changes. We identify and remediate exploitable flaws before attackers do, delivering ongoing protection that grows with your environment rather than lagging behind it.

Achieve compliance requirements

GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS all require demonstrable security controls, and cloud penetration testing is one of the most direct ways to evidence them. A test gives you documented proof that your environment has been assessed, your risks and security responsibilities are understood, and your controls are working.

Save costs

A penetration test costs a fraction of what a breach does — in recovery, legal exposure, and reputational damage. Identifying a misconfigured S3 bucket or an over-permissive IAM role before an attacker does is straightforwardly cheaper than explaining it to your customers afterward. It's the core logic of sound risk management: address security concerns early, before they carry a price tag.

Build trust

Regular testing signals to clients, partners, and stakeholders that you take cybersecurity seriously. It demonstrates a concrete, ongoing commitment to protecting sensitive data. That’s how cloud penetration testing services providers become your partners in building trust.
