Cloud
Penetration Testing

Active security testing of your AWS, GCP, and Azure environments — IAM privilege escalation, storage exposure, logging gaps, and serverless security, mapped to real exploitation paths rather than checklist findings.

Overview

Misconfiguration is the new exploit.

In the cloud, most breaches come from configuration, not zero-days — over-permissive IAM, exposed storage, and gaps in monitoring. A cloud penetration test finds those weaknesses and shows how they chain into real compromise.

We test your AWS, GCP, or Azure environment against CIS Benchmarks and the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix, then go further — modelling IAM privilege-escalation paths and assessing container and serverless security. Exploit-driven findings, CVSS-scored, free retest within 60 days.

FAQ

Cloud penetration testing FAQ

The questions we're asked most about scope, cost, and timing.

How much does a cloud penetration test cost?
A cloud penetration test typically starts around €3,000 per environment and scales with the number of accounts, services, and workloads. Use our estimator for a tailored figure.
Which cloud providers do you test?
AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, including container and serverless workloads.
What is the difference between a cloud assessment and a cloud penetration test?
A cloud security assessment benchmarks your configuration against CIS and best practice. A penetration test goes further — actively chaining misconfigurations and IAM weaknesses into demonstrated attack paths.
How long does a cloud penetration test take?
Most take 4 to 10 working days plus reporting, depending on the accounts and services in scope.
Do you need access to our cloud account?
For a thorough assessment we use read-only roles plus targeted testing. Exact access and rules of engagement are agreed before starting.
Do we need to notify our cloud provider?
For most testing on AWS, GCP, and Azure, prior approval is no longer required, but we confirm current provider policies and notify where needed.
What access do you need?
Typically a scoped, read-only role for review plus limited test identities for exploitation paths — all agreed and time-boxed up front.
Do you test Kubernetes and containers?
Yes — container, registry, and Kubernetes security are included where they are part of your environment.
How is this different from a cloud security assessment?
The assessment benchmarks configuration; the penetration test actively exploits weaknesses to prove real impact. They pair well together.
Can you test multi-account or multi-cloud setups?
Yes — we scope across multiple accounts, subscriptions, or providers and map cross-account attack paths.

A 30-minute scoping call costs nothing. A breach costs considerably more.
