Cloud Security Audit (AWS, Azure, GCP)
About This Service
Cloud Security Audit for AWS, Azure and GCP — UAE Workloads
Most cloud breaches are not exotic attacks — they are misconfigurations: a public S3 bucket, an over-privileged IAM role, a database reachable from the internet. I audit AWS, Azure, and GCP environments against the CIS Benchmarks for each platform, using read-only credentials granted under a formal engagement agreement, so nothing in your environment is changed during the audit.
The audit covers IAM least-privilege analysis (users, roles, service accounts, and access keys), detection of public buckets and exposed services, network security group review, encryption posture, and logging and monitoring gaps — including whether CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Azure Monitor, or Cloud Audit Logs are actually configured to catch an intrusion. Dubai and Abu Dhabi companies running production workloads in the AWS Middle East (UAE) region or Azure UAE regions get the same depth of review as any global deployment.
Deliverable: a remediation roadmap ordered by severity, with each item costed in effort so free-zone and mainland SMEs can plan fixes in sprints rather than facing a wall of red flags. A re-audit option is available to verify the environment after your team works through the roadmap — useful evidence when an enterprise customer in the UAE asks how your cloud is secured.
What's included
- CIS Benchmark review — Configuration checked against the official CIS Benchmarks for AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- IAM least-privilege analysis — Every user, role, and service account reviewed for excess permissions and stale access keys.
- Exposure detection — Public buckets, open security groups, and internet-exposed services identified and ranked.
- Logging & monitoring gap check — CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and equivalent Azure/GCP telemetry assessed for blind spots.
- Severity-ordered remediation roadmap — Prioritized fixes with effort estimates your team can schedule into sprints.
- Re-audit option — Follow-up verification pass after remediation to confirm the environment is clean.
How it works
- 1Engagement & read-only access
We sign the audit agreement and you grant scoped read-only credentials — no write access ever requested.
- 2Automated + manual audit
I run benchmark tooling across the account, then manually review IAM, network paths, and logging configuration.
- 3Roadmap delivery
You receive the severity-ordered remediation roadmap and a findings walkthrough with your engineers.
- 4Optional re-audit
Once fixes land, I re-verify the environment and issue an updated posture summary.
