Cloud Security Audit
Overview: Cloud Security Audit
The audit assesses security measures in place to secure data and other resources within a cloud environment. Usually performed by an independent auditor, the process includes reviewing policies, examining security controls, and collecting evidence based on the findings.
Cloud security audits thoroughly assess the security measures implemented by cloud service providers (CSPs), including evaluating the effectiveness of their security policies and technical defenses. Auditors work to uncover vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, or regulatory deficiencies.
Why do organizations need it?
Cloud security audit helps businesses maintain compliance with industry regulations, protect sensitive data, and mitigate risks associated with cloud computing. These audits help identify security gaps, strengthen defenses, and enhance customer trust. Here’s how cloud security audits impact organizations:
- Identifies vulnerabilities and gaps in the existing security controls
- Offers recommendations for security improvements.
- Assesses data storage, transmission, and access protocols.
- Helps organizations address potential threats before exploitation.
- Strengthens confidence by demonstrating robust security practices

Information Gathering
Upon initiating the project, scoping information is collected from the client. This information includes the IP address of the in-scope system or server. Additionally, read-only administrator-level credentials are required to allow visibility of all configuration settings without the ability to modify them. Any required access information, such as VPN credentials for internal network access, is also included. This applies to Windows, Linux, or other types of server configuration reviews.
Security Configuration Review
We initiate the configuration review by examining the current setup and identifying issues or vulnerabilities from both best practice and realistic risk perspectives. As with all our assessments, the identified issues will be ranked and prioritized based on the risk they pose to your organization. This process can also help reveal strategic issues in your device hardening process, misconfigurations in your hardening standards, unauthorized changes to your security devices, or simply overlooked configuration settings that need to be addressed.
