Our Cloud Security Assessment Services
Whether you’re embarking on a cloud transformation journey or seeking to strengthen your existing cloud security controls, our cloud security assessment services make sure your organization stays resilient in all circumstances.
-
Cloud Configuration and Architecture Review
We evaluate virtual networks, storage, compute resources, encryption, and key management against CIS benchmarks, and review network segmentation, resilience, and security controls across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
-
Compliance Assessment and Gap Analysis
Our specialists assist with DORA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and other standards. We pinpoint where your security posture falls short of compliance and build a customized roadmap to achieve and maintain it.
-
We combine automated scanning and manual penetration testing of your cloud-native applications, APIs, and serverless functions against the OWASP Top 10, with severity ratings and specific remediation guidance.
-
We review authentication mechanisms, SSO configurations, access controls, and privilege management, then recommend a custom IAM architecture built on least-privilege and zero trust principles.
-
Data Security Assessment
We evaluate how you protect sensitive information across your cloud infrastructure, including encryption of data at rest and in transit, data handling procedures, backup strategies, and disaster recovery.
-
Incident Response Readiness

Strengthen your cloud security with Beetroot!
Why is cloud security assessment important?
As organizations migrate their operations to the cloud, they face complex security challenges. A cloud security assessment helps you identify and mitigate potential threats, support compliance, and protect your organization’s valuable assets.
-
Risk Identification
A thorough assessment helps you find potential vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security gaps across your cloud infrastructure.
-
Compliance Verification and Governance
Security assessments confirm that your company meets regulatory requirements and industry standards, and show where governance needs to tighten.
-
Cost-Effective Security Planning
By identifying weaknesses before they can be exploited, you can prioritize security investments and allocate resources more effectively.
-
Cloud Architecture Optimization
Assessments provide insights into your cloud architecture and strengthen system resilience against potential threats and outages.
Cloud Security Assessment: Challenges and Solutions
Cloud security assessments are vital for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and applications in cloud environments. However, they come with their own set of challenges.
Challenge: Cloud providers secure the physical infrastructure and network, while you are responsible for security in the cloud: data, applications, and operating systems.
Solution: We help you track and manage security responsibilities across teams, for example with a shared responsibility matrix or a dedicated tool, and train employees on the shared responsibility model.
Challenge: Cloud environments can be more opaque than on-premises infrastructure, making it hard to see configurations, access controls, and data flows.
Solution: We help you adopt provider-specific tools such as Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPPs), and implement SIEM and SOAR capabilities.
Challenge: The wide array of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services and their diverse configurations make assessments complex, as each requires specialized expertise.
Solution: We help you create and adopt consistent security policies and procedures across all cloud environments, reducing complexity and improving consistency in security management.
