A mid-sized company grew its cloud accounts quickly and nobody has a ranked list of what to fix first. Here is how we would review, fix and keep it fixed.
Example scenario. This page describes a typical engagement and how we would approach it. It is not a description of a specific client and it contains no client results. The measures below are what we would track, with targets agreed with you up front.
A mid-sized company has grown its cloud accounts quickly. Storage is exposed by accident, long-lived access keys sit in repositories and CI settings, and roles are broader than they need to be. Nobody has a ranked list of what to fix first.
We would run a cloud security review across the accounts, rank the findings by exposure and ease of fix, and close the important ones with the team: multi-factor authentication, short-lived credentials instead of stored keys, least-privilege roles and private-by-default storage. Then we would add guardrails in code so the same mistakes cannot return, with alerts on identity changes.
Open high-risk findings before and after, and the time from a finding to its fix.
