Cloud Security Reviews
AWS Security Review
Tighten IAM, reduce exposure, and harden AWS configurations with a review built for real-world risk.
AWS gives you powerful security capabilities, but small configuration choices can create big exposure. Nexeris reviews identity, network paths, and key services to identify misconfigurations and prioritize what to fix first.

Strategic Value
When an AWS Security Review Is the Right Fit
This is a good fit when you want a clear view of AWS posture and practical hardening guidance without turning the work into a long, generic checklist.
Common triggers:
- You’ve scaled AWS quickly and want to confirm guardrails and permissions
- You’re preparing for an audit or customer review and need stronger AWS evidence
- You’ve had alerts, near misses, or recurring concerns about cloud exposure
- You want to reduce account takeover and misconfiguration risk
What This Engagement Typically Includes
IAM and Privilege Review
We review identity posture, privilege boundaries, admin access, MFA enforcement, and access key hygiene.
Network and Exposure Review
We evaluate VPC design and common exposure points such as security groups, network ACLs, public endpoints, and ingress/egress paths.
Service-Level Security Checks
We review high-impact services (such as storage, compute, and managed databases) for secure configuration, encryption, and access controls.
Logging and Monitoring Readiness
We assess audit logging and visibility, including coverage for account activity, changes, and key security signals.
Expected Outcomes
Structured 4-step methodology
01
- Risk Visibility
Clear visibility into the highest-risk AWS misconfigurations
02
- Privilege Reduction
Reduced IAM and privilege risk through tighter access controls
03
- Audit Readiness
Better cloud evidence and documentation readiness for audits and customers
04
- Remediation Plan
A prioritized remediation plan your team can execute
The Difference
Why We
Stand Out
We focus on practical exposure and the changes that reduce risk fast. You’ll get clear findings, plain-language recommendations, and priorities that engineering teams can actually work through.
Momentum Focus
We clarify priorities to unblock execution.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about vCISO engagements
Do you need access to production?
Often, read-only access is enough. We align on access needs during scoping.
Is this the same as a penetration test?
No. This is a configuration and architecture review. Pen testing simulates attack paths. Many organizations do both.
