Why weeks, not months
AI-assisted evidence review, one client portal
Every Cloud Security engagement runs on the Praxis-Q compliance platform. You upload evidence per control, AI scores it against the requirement, and your auditor reviews in the same workflow — from scoping through to the issued, publicly verifiable certificate.
AI evidence scoring
Every upload is scored against the control before an auditor sees it — gaps surface in minutes, not at the review meeting.
One client portal
Scoping, evidence, auditor queries and status live in one place. No email chains, no spreadsheet trackers.
Auditor sign-off
Praxis-Q auditors review inside the same workflow, so review rounds shrink and the certificate issues sooner.
Why Cloud Security Assessments Matter
Public cloud environments introduce unique attack surfaces: misconfigured IAM roles, exposed storage buckets, and overly-permissive security groups remain among the leading causes of data breaches. A single over-privileged service account or unencrypted database replica can compromise your entire infrastructure. Cloud security assessments provide visibility into these hidden risks before exploitation. Praxis-Q's assessments go beyond automated scanning—our certified consultants perform manual configuration review, privilege path analysis, and compliance mapping. We identify not just what's misconfigured, but why and how to remediate with minimal operational disruption.
Multi-Cloud Assessment Methodology
Our assessment framework covers AWS, Azure, and GCP uniformly while respecting platform-specific security models. We evaluate identity and access management (IAM policies, service principals, managed identities), network security (VPCs, security groups, network ACLs), data protection (encryption at rest/transit, key management), and compliance posture. Read-only access or configuration exports enable non-invasive review—we never require admin credentials. Our AWS Advanced Consulting Partner credential ensures AWS-deep expertise, while our multi-platform certifications guarantee consistent rigor across Azure and GCP environments. Deliverables include CIS Benchmark-aligned reports with risk-prioritized findings and remediation roadmaps.
IAM & Privilege Assessment
Inadequate identity governance is the root cause of most cloud breaches. We perform exhaustive IAM reviews identifying over-permissive policies, unused service accounts, dormant users, and privilege escalation paths. Our assessment maps role hierarchies, external identity federation, and credential exposure risks. We verify principle-of-least-privilege implementation, temporary credential rotation policies, and multi-factor authentication coverage. For organizations managing cross-account access or third-party integrations, we validate trust relationships and boundary enforcement. Documentation of findings includes remediation priorities—from immediate credential rotation to architectural refactoring.
Storage & Data Security Deep Dive
Cloud storage services (S3, Azure Blob, GCS) are prime targets for ransomware and data exfiltration. We identify public or anonymous-readable buckets, missing encryption configuration, disabled versioning, and insufficient lifecycle policies. Assessment includes encryption key management review (KMS, Key Vault, Cloud KMS), backup integrity verification, and data residency compliance. We validate default encryption policies, cross-region replication security, and access logging enablement. Container registry security, database encryption, and API endpoint exposure receive equal scrutiny, ensuring data remains protected across your entire cloud footprint.
Compliance Mapping & Reporting
Assessments align findings with ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and regional requirements (HIPAA, DPDP Act, RBI guidelines). Our CIS Benchmark-aligned reports provide executive summaries, detailed technical findings, and risk-prioritized remediation roadmaps. Each finding includes severity rating, business impact, technical remediation steps, and timeline recommendations. Post-assessment support includes remediation guidance and optional follow-up validation. Praxis-Q's global delivery model and India-based expertise ensure cost-effective, culturally-aware engagement without compromising technical rigor or delivery velocity.
