Cloud Posture Management
Find and fix cloud misconfigurations before they become incidents. We assess configuration state across AWS, GCP, and Azure, integrate security into your IaC pipeline, and give your team a baseline it can maintain.
Services
Cloud Posture Management Services
Cloud Configuration Assessment
Point-in-time assessment of your cloud configuration state across compute, storage, networking, and IAM. We use Scout Suite, Prowler, and CloudSploit against live infrastructure and produce a prioritized finding list with the specific configuration changes required for each item.
IaC Security
Static analysis of Terraform, CloudFormation, and OpenTofu templates before they reach production. We integrate IaC scanning into your CI/CD pipeline so misconfigurations are caught at the pull request stage, alongside remediation guidance written for the specific resource and provider involved.
Multi-Cloud Posture Management
Each cloud provider gets assessed on its own terms — IAM model, network constructs, and service-level controls — because a finding that matters in AWS doesn't map cleanly onto GCP or Azure. Results are consolidated into a single gap analysis that ties each issue to the exact provider, resource, and configuration where it lives.
Cloud Security Benchmarking
Assessment of your cloud environment against CIS Benchmarks for AWS, GCP, and Azure, with findings mapped to the compliance frameworks applicable to your organization: SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, and ISO 27001. Gives your compliance team an accurate control verification report rather than a self-attested checklist.
Drift Detection & Continuous Posture Monitoring
Configuration drift is continuous. We set up automated posture monitoring using AWS Config Rules, GuardDuty, Security Hub, and GCP Security Command Center so new misconfigurations are detected as they occur rather than surfaced in the next point-in-time assessment. Alerts are tuned to reduce noise and map to your existing incident workflow.
Misconfiguration Remediation
Findings without remediation are just a list. We work directly with your engineering team to implement configuration fixes: S3 bucket policies, security group rules, KMS key rotation, IAM policy tightening, logging enablement, and network topology corrections. Remediation is implemented in Terraform or CloudFormation where your infrastructure is managed as code.
What We Do
What Cloud Posture Management Actually Involves
Cloud infrastructure drifts from its intended state constantly. Permissions are added to unblock engineering work and never removed. New resources are deployed without security review. Configuration changes made in response to an incident get applied to one environment but not others. Posture management is the discipline of maintaining visibility into that drift and correcting it before it becomes an exploitable gap or a compliance finding.
Our posture work operates directly against live infrastructure. We pull IAM policies and analyze them for privilege escalation paths and misconfigurations. We review VPC configurations, security group rules, and network ACLs against your actual traffic requirements. We verify encryption at rest across every storage resource in scope, check KMS key rotation policies, and assess public access settings across S3, Cloud Storage, and Blob Storage. The output reflects what the environment actually does, not what documentation claims it does.
IaC scanning shifts this work earlier in the development cycle. When security analysis runs at the pull request stage on Terraform and CloudFormation templates, misconfigurations are caught at the point where they cost the least to fix. We integrate scanning into your existing CI/CD pipeline and tune the rule set so engineers receive actionable signal rather than noise from rules that do not apply to your environment or compliance context.

Common Problems
Cloud Posture Problems We See in Production Environments
Unreviewed Public Exposure
S3 buckets, Cloud Storage objects, and Blob containers with public access enabled are consistently among the most common findings in cloud configuration assessments. They are often the result of a single misconfigured setting applied months or years earlier, not a deliberate decision. We identify every publicly accessible storage resource in scope, verify whether exposure is intentional, and produce the specific policy changes required to restrict access where it is not.
Encryption Gaps Across Storage Resources
Organizations frequently have encryption policies that describe data protection requirements without verifying whether those requirements are enforced in the infrastructure. Resources created before a policy change remain unencrypted. KMS key rotation is disabled. BYOK implementations are configured correctly in one region but not others. We verify encryption configuration across every storage resource in scope and produce a remediation list with the specific configuration changes required for each finding.
IaC That Outpaces Security Review
Engineering teams that move quickly ship infrastructure changes faster than manual security review can follow. The result is a growing gap between the configuration state the security team last reviewed and the configuration state the environment is actually running. IaC scanning integrated into the CI/CD pipeline closes that gap by making security analysis continuous rather than periodic, catching misconfigurations at the point in the development cycle where they are cheapest to correct.

FAQ
Common Questions About Cloud Posture Management
What is cloud posture management and why does it matter?
Cloud posture management is the continuous assessment and correction of security configuration across your cloud environment. It matters because cloud infrastructure drifts from its intended state constantly: permissions accumulate, new resources are deployed without security review, and configuration changes made to unblock engineering work are never reverted. A posture management program provides visibility into that drift and a process for correcting it before it becomes an exploitable gap.
What is IaC security and how does it differ from runtime scanning?
IaC security is the analysis of Terraform, CloudFormation, and similar infrastructure-as-code templates before they are applied, catching misconfigurations at the point where they are cheapest to fix. Runtime scanning analyzes infrastructure that is already deployed and running. Both are necessary: IaC scanning prevents new misconfigurations from reaching production, while runtime scanning identifies drift that has accumulated in existing infrastructure. We integrate both into a cohesive posture program rather than treating them as separate tools.
How do you assess posture across AWS, GCP, and Azure simultaneously?
Multi-cloud posture assessment requires separate evaluation of each provider because IAM models, network constructs, and logging architectures are provider-specific even when the security requirement is the same. We use Scout Suite, Prowler, and CloudSploit for AWS and GCP, direct IAM policy analysis for each provider, and CloudMapper for network topology review. The output is a unified gap analysis with findings mapped to the specific provider, resource, and configuration where each issue exists.
What benchmarks do you assess against?
We assess against CIS Benchmarks for AWS, GCP, and Azure, NIST SP 800-53 control families relevant to cloud infrastructure, and the compliance frameworks applicable to your environment: SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, and ISO 27001. Findings are mapped to the frameworks that apply to your organization so remediation work addresses compliance requirements alongside security gaps.
What does a cloud posture management engagement actually produce?
It produces an accurate picture of your current configuration state mapped against the benchmarks and compliance frameworks that apply to your environment, a prioritized list of findings with the specific configuration changes required for each one, IaC scanning integrated into your pipeline so new misconfigurations are caught before they reach production, and a baseline configuration set your team can maintain going forward. Remediation guidance is written for the specific service and configuration involved, not generically.
How is cloud posture management different from cloud security engineering?
Posture management assesses and maintains the configuration state of infrastructure that already exists — finding misconfigurations, drift, and compliance gaps in what's deployed. Cloud security engineering is the design and implementation work that builds the architecture in the first place: zero-trust network design, IAM federation, encryption strategy. Most engagements involve both — architecture that's well-designed still drifts over time, and posture work often surfaces gaps that require architectural changes to fix.
