Cloud Security & Testing
Cloud Security Reviews
A clear view of your cloud security posture, misconfigurations, and what to fix first.
Cloud environments move fast. New services get added, permissions expand, and settings drift. Nexeris reviews your cloud architecture to identify misconfigurations, prioritize risk, and align your environment with security best practices.

Why Cloud Security Reviews Matter
Most cloud security incidents don’t start with a sophisticated exploit. They start with something simple: overly broad permissions, exposed services, weak identity controls, or missing logging.
A cloud security review helps you catch issues early, understand how your architecture behaves under real-world conditions, and build a prioritized plan to strengthen security without slowing delivery.
Common reasons teams engage us:
- You’ve grown your cloud footprint and want a reality check on security posture
- You’re preparing for an audit or customer review and need stronger cloud evidence
- Leadership wants to reduce cloud risk and improve visibility
- You’ve had incidents, near misses, or recurring misconfiguration concerns
Platform-Specific Reviews
If you want a focused review on a specific platform, these deep-dive options build on the same approach, with checks tailored to each environment.
Secure your Amazon Web Services environment by tightening IAM, network configurations, and resource-level controls.
Strengthen your Microsoft Azure setup with reviews of tenant security, resource groups, and integrated defense tools.
Protect your GCP assets with analysis of project structure, API security, and container environments.
Harden your Microsoft 365 tenant against account takeovers and data leakage across Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams.
Reduce risk in Google Workspace with a review of admin controls, third-party app access, and sharing policies.
Your Cloud Security Review Includes
You’ll get a structured assessment of identity, architecture, configuration, and monitoring, along with a prioritized remediation plan.
Architecture and Network Review
- High-level architecture review and key service dependencies
- Network segmentation and exposure review (public endpoints, ingress/egress paths)
- Review of common risk areas like storage exposure and overly permissive networking
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
- Role design, privilege boundaries, and admin access review
- MFA enforcement and authentication posture
- Service accounts, keys, and access review (rotation, scope, and governance)
Configuration and Security Controls
- Baseline configuration review against best practices
- Misconfiguration findings across core services and common control domains
- Guidance for hardening, secure defaults, and reducing configuration drift
Logging, Monitoring, and Detection
- Audit logging and event visibility review
- Monitoring coverage and alerting sanity checks
- Recommendations to improve detection, response, and forensic readiness
Findings and Remediation Roadmap
- Clear findings with risk context and practical recommendations
- Prioritized remediation plan (quick wins, medium-term, long-term)
- Optional leadership summary for decision-making and funding

Common Questions
Is this the same as a penetration test?
No. A cloud security review focuses on configuration, identity, architecture, and monitoring. Pen testing simulates attacks to find exploitable paths. Many organizations do both.
Which cloud platforms do you support?
We support common cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. We scope the review based on your environment.
Will you need access to production?
We scope access carefully. In many cases, read-only access is sufficient. We align access needs during discovery.
Can this help with SOC 2 or ISO evidence?
Yes. Cloud configuration and logging evidence is often a major part of audits and customer reviews. We help you identify what’s missing and how to prove it.
Do you help remediate findings?
Yes. We can support your team in closing high-priority findings and validating fixes.
