Praxis-Q delivers comprehensive cloud security assessments across AWS, Azure, and GCP, identifying misconfigurations, IAM vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps before attackers do. Our India-headquartered, globally-delivered assessments evaluate identity management, network controls, data encryption, and storage security against CIS Benchmarks and industry best practices. With 15-20 business day fast-track delivery, we combine deep technical expertise with compliance rigor—from read-only IAM reviews to full-stack architectural analysis. Whether you're securing multi-cloud environments or hardening your primary platform, our assessments map your security posture against ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and regulatory frameworks. We uncover hidden risks in S3/Blob/GCS buckets, container orchestration, and privilege escalation paths, delivering actionable findings prioritized by risk and business impact.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need full access to our AWS account?
No. We work with read-only IAM roles or configuration exports. We never require admin credentials.
AWS vs Azure vs GCP?
We assess all three. As an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, we have deepest expertise in AWS but are certified across all major cloud platforms.
Do you need full admin access to our cloud environment?
No. We operate with read-only IAM roles or configuration exports, ensuring zero risk to your production environment. We never require admin credentials or write permissions. Our methodology relies on thorough review of permissions, policies, and configurations rather than invasive testing.
Which cloud platforms do you assess?
We assess AWS, Azure, and GCP comprehensively. As an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, we maintain deepest AWS expertise, but our team holds equivalent certifications across Azure and GCP. Multi-cloud assessments use unified frameworks for consistent security rigor.
How long does a cloud security assessment take?
Most assessments deliver in 5-7 days; complex multi-account environments may require 10-15 days. Praxis-Q's fast-track model prioritizes rapid turnaround without compromising depth. Expedited options are available for urgent compliance requirements or incident response scenarios.
What compliance standards do your reports align with?
Reports map findings to ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, DPDP Act, RBI guidelines, and NIST frameworks. We customize compliance focus based on your regulatory landscape, helping you quantify remediation effort for audit readiness or certification programs.
Can you assess Kubernetes or container environments?
Yes. Our assessments include container registry security, image scanning, RBAC configuration, and runtime security controls within your cloud platform. We evaluate container-specific risks like excessive permissions, exposed APIs, and supply-chain vulnerabilities alongside traditional infrastructure assessments.
What happens after the assessment report?
We provide detailed remediation guidance and risk-prioritized roadmaps. Optional follow-up includes remediation support, architectural consultation, and validation testing post-remediation. Many clients engage Praxis-Q's vCISO or SOC-as-a-Service for ongoing cloud security management.
