Cloud moves fast — so do open buckets, over-powered keys, and identity rules that grant admin quietly. We review how your cloud is actually set up, not just the architecture diagram.
Catch open storage and secrets in consoles or logs.
See who can become admin and reach production data.
Evidence for SOC2, ISO 27001, and customer cloud addendums.
Include Kubernetes misconfigurations for your stack.
CERT-In empanelled · India
Sumrite’s testers run your cloud security assessment by hand, and the report is issued through a CERT-In empanelled auditor. One team from scoping to sign-off, built for Indian regulators, enterprise buyers and government work.
Yes. We run the full engagement for you and route the formal attestation through our network of CERT-In empanelled partner auditors, so you deal with one team from scoping to report.
A cloud security assessment reviews how your AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud environment is actually configured, and which of those settings an attacker could use. Most cloud breaches are not exotic exploits: they come from a storage bucket left public, an access key committed to a repository, or an identity role that quietly grants far more than intended. Using read-only access, a tester reviews identity and access management, storage, networking, logging, secrets and, where in scope, containers and Kubernetes. Findings are checked against CIS Benchmarks, and the important ones are validated to show whether they are genuinely reachable rather than theoretical, for example whether a role can escalate itself to administrator. The report lists findings per account and resource with clear fixes, and supports SOC 2, ISO 27001 and customer cloud security questionnaires.
Each cloud has its own identity model and its own common mistakes, so Sumrite tests each provider on its own terms, with read-only access first and agreed validation after.
| Configuration review | Cloud penetration test | |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Read-only audit role | Read-only first, then agreed, limited validation |
| Method | Every setting checked against CIS Benchmarks and provider best practice | Settings that matter are exploited to prove real impact |
| Output | A complete list of misconfigurations by severity | Proven attack paths, such as a leaked key leading to account takeover |
| Best for | Hardening and audit evidence | Showing buyers and auditors what an attacker could actually do |
Sumrite combines both in one engagement, so the report lists every misconfiguration and proves the ones that matter.
| Area | What we check | Example finding |
|---|---|---|
| Identity and access | Over-privileged roles, unused keys, privilege escalation paths | A CI role that can create new administrator users |
| Storage and data | Public buckets, snapshots and databases, encryption | A backup bucket readable by anyone with the URL |
| Network exposure | Security groups, public endpoints, management ports | SSH open to the internet on a production host |
| Logging and detection | Audit trails, retention and alerting | Audit logging disabled in a secondary region |
| Secrets and workloads | Keys in code, instance metadata, container settings | Credentials readable from instance metadata by the app |
Read-only access, such as an audit role in AWS, a Reader role in Azure or a Viewer role in Google Cloud. No write access is needed for the configuration review; any validation beyond that is agreed separately.
Yes, when they are in scope. Cluster configuration, workload permissions, network policies and image hygiene are reviewed alongside the cloud account.
It overlaps. The assessment reviews configuration across the account; validation then shows which issues are exploitable. Applications hosted in the cloud are tested separately as web or API engagements.
We run the full engagement for these frameworks, and where a formal audit or attestation is needed we route it through our local partner firms, so you deal with one team.
Teams inherit defaults, shared credentials, and shadow resources attackers hunt in repos and metadata services.
Sumrite's Cloud Security Assessment validates which misconfigurations are actually reachable, not just theoretical.
Methodology, scope, and deliverables in plain terms.
CIS Benchmarks and NIST SP 800-190: IAM, storage, logging, network, secrets, and container posture.
Prioritised misconfigurations, safe proof where possible, and remediation steps. Sumrite report on completion.
Every step from scope and NDA to a retested, final report, shown for Cloud Security Assessment. No jargon, no surprises.
Submit your scope so our team can plan the engagement and get started.
Every phase is run by a security expert, with tools used only to speed up the routine parts. Findings are reproduced and confirmed before they reach your report.
Findings are written for two readers at once: developers who need the exact fix and auditors or buyers who need confidence.
Your team fixes the issues with guidance written for your stack, and the tester who found each issue answers questions directly.
Every fix is tested again. Nothing is marked closed on trust.
You receive a verified report in your company name, ready for clients, auditors and procurement.
