Cloud assurance

Turn cloud velocity into controlled resilience.

Architecture and configuration reviews that identify excessive access, exposed services, weak guardrails, and high-impact cloud attack paths.

01 / Overview

What is Cloud Security Review?

Architecture and configuration reviews that identify excessive access, exposed services, weak guardrails, and high-impact cloud attack paths.

Hackstack Security delivers it as a scoped, agentic engagement: AI agents on local and client-approved API models expand coverage, our specialists test the logic and attack chains agents miss, and every finding is validated by a human, explained in business terms, and retested after you fix it.

  • AI agents plus manual testers
  • Human-validated findings only
  • Retest and closure status included
No High or Critical finding? No audit fee. Eligible penetration tests only. Read the terms.
02 / Outcomes

What outcomes should you expect?

Every engagement is designed around the risk your team needs to understand and the action it needs to take.

01

Reduced cloud exposure

02

Stronger identity guardrails

03

Prioritized hardening roadmap

03 / Coverage

What does cloud security testing cover?

Proven methodology plus the judgment needed to uncover context-specific risk.

01

AWS, Azure, and GCP review

02

IAM and privilege analysis

03

Network exposure review

04

Logging and detection readiness

05

Container and Kubernetes review

06

Cloud architecture guidance

04 / Timing

When should you run cloud security testing?

Test before a finding turns into a release delay, a customer escalation, or an incident.

01

Before a major launch, migration, or architecture change

02

When enterprise customers or partners request security evidence

03

After meaningful changes to identity, data, integrations, or infrastructure

04

When your team needs an independent view of real-world risk

05 / Technical research

Which questions do we test?

Frameworks support consistent coverage. The assessment remains driven by your architecture, trust boundaries, threat model, and business workflows.

Questions we test
  1. Can identities gain unintended privilege through policies, roles, or trust relationships?
  2. Are public services, storage, or management interfaces exposed without a business need?
  3. Can workload credentials or metadata be reached from a compromised application?
  4. Would logging and alerting reveal high-impact control-plane activity?
Evidence we produce
  • Reproducible request, response, configuration, or workflow evidence
  • Attack-path narrative connecting technical behavior to business impact
  • Control-focused remediation guidance and verification criteria
06 / Methodology

How does Hackstack Security test?

Testing is scoped, evidence-led, and designed to reduce risk without creating unnecessary disruption.

01

Context first

We learn the system, users, trust boundaries, and business objectives before testing begins.

02

Expert-led testing

Automation supports coverage. Human analysis finds the issues that depend on judgment and context.

03

Clear prioritization

Findings are ranked by exploitability, impact, and what matters to your organization.

04

Remediation partnership

We stay engaged through fixes, answer engineering questions, and validate closure.

07 / Deliverables

What will you receive?

Reports are written for the people who need to make decisions, fix issues, and demonstrate improvement.

Executive summary and risk narrative

Detailed technical findings

Risk rating and prioritization

Exploit evidence and reproduction steps

Developer-friendly remediation guidance

Retest status and closure validation

08 / FAQ

Cloud Security questions, answered.

Still unsure? Ask us directly and we will reply with a proposed scope.

What does Cloud Security Review include?

It covers AWS, azure, and GCP review, IAM and privilege analysis, network exposure review, logging and detection readiness, container and kubernetes review, and cloud architecture guidance. Each engagement is scoped to your environment and ends with validated findings, remediation guidance, and a readout.

What will we receive at the end?

You receive an executive summary, detailed technical findings with exploit evidence and reproduction steps, risk ratings, developer-ready remediation guidance, and retest status. The goal is reduced cloud exposure, stronger identity guardrails, prioritized hardening roadmap.

Which frameworks guide the testing?

Coverage is aligned with CIS Benchmarks, NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, MITRE ATT&CK Cloud Matrix, then shaped by your architecture, trust boundaries, and business workflows.

Do you use AI agents or only manual testing?

Both. AI agents running on self-hosted local models, and on API-based models when you approve them, handle reconnaissance, surface mapping, fuzzing, and hypothesis generation, while our specialists test business logic and chained attacks manually. Every result is validated by a practitioner before it is reported.

Can you support remediation and retesting?

Yes. We walk your engineers through findings, answer implementation questions, and retest agreed fixes to document final status for stakeholders and auditors.

What if the test finds no High or Critical vulnerabilities?

This assessment is eligible for our guarantee: if the final report contains no validated High or Critical finding, you are not charged the audit fee, subject to the guarantee terms agreed in your statement of work.
