Scope and Threat Modeling
Human-led
We define your attack surface, trust boundaries, and the most likely attacker goals before testing begins.
Cloud Security
Cloud penetration testing that finds the IAM misconfigurations and privilege escalation paths that put your entire environment at risk
Cloud breaches rarely start with a zero-day — they start with an over-permissioned role, a misconfigured service account, or a storage bucket left public. We find those paths before an attacker does and show you exactly how far they lead.
Engagement Duration
5-9 business days
Primary Outcome
A validated privilege escalation map and hardening roadmap — showing which misconfigurations represent real attacker paths to full environment compromise, and how to close them.
Human-led
We define your attack surface, trust boundaries, and the most likely attacker goals before testing begins.
AI-assisted
Automation expands coverage and surfaces anomalous patterns worth manual attention — no finding ships without human review.
Human-led
Every finding is manually reproduced and confirmed by a senior analyst before it appears in your report.
Collaborative
We provide developer-ready fix guidance and retest at no additional cost after your patch window closes.
IAM policies that chain together to grant admin access from a low-privilege starting point
Service accounts with cross-project permissions attackers can weaponize after compromising one service
Publicly exposed storage, compute, or databases that were never meant to be internet-facing
Logging and alerting gaps that let attackers operate in your environment undetected
IAM is where cloud breaches begin. We map every privilege escalation path — role assumptions, trust policies, and permission boundaries — to find what an attacker could do with any foothold in your environment.
IAM policy and boundary effectiveness review
Role chaining and practical escalation path validation
Service identity over-permissioning analysis
Cross-account and federation trust misconfiguration testing
Misconfigurations compound — a public bucket, a permissive role, and a weak network policy can chain together into full environment compromise. We test those combinations manually to confirm real impact.
Public exposure paths in storage, compute, and managed services
Container/orchestration posture under attacker workflows
Serverless permission and event-trigger abuse testing
Logging, alerting, and forensic visibility gap assessment

Cross-account trust
Every privilege escalation route we validated, with the specific policies and trust relationships that enable it.
A ranked inventory of exploitable misconfigurations — what's exposed, what it affects, and what an attacker could do with it.
A remediation sequence that prioritizes by attacker impact while accounting for operational constraints.
After you remediate, we retest to confirm privilege paths are actually closed — not just that policies changed.
