What We Test

Every layer of your cloud
attack surface, covered

Our cloud pentesters review your entire infrastructure — not just a checklist. We identify configuration gaps, privilege escalation paths, and business logic flaws that automated tools miss.

🔑

Authentication, Authorization & IAM

Overly permissive IAM roles, missing MFA on privileged accounts, wildcard policies, privilege escalation paths, cross-account role abuse, and unused access keys lingering in production environments.

🪣

Storage & Data Exposure

Publicly accessible S3 buckets, Azure Blob containers, and GCP Cloud Storage buckets. Misconfigured ACLs, insecure pre-signed URLs, unencrypted sensitive data, and PII exposure pathways.

🌐

Network Security & Isolation

Open security groups, unrestricted inbound rules (0.0.0.0/0), missing network segmentation, insecure VPC peering, exposed management ports (SSH 22, RDP 3389), and east-west lateral movement paths.

🔒

Encryption & Key Management

Encryption at rest and in transit gaps, weak KMS key policies, publicly accessible encryption keys, insecure key rotation, unencrypted databases, secrets stored in plaintext environment variables.

📦

Container & Serverless Security

Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE) RBAC misconfigurations, container escape paths, overly privileged Lambda/Functions, serverless injection attacks, insecure container images, and pod security policy gaps.

📋

Logging, Monitoring & Compliance

Disabled CloudTrail/Activity logs, missing audit trails, inadequate alerting on suspicious activities, compliance drift against CIS benchmarks, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA controls.

⚙️

Cloud Service Misconfigurations

Insecure cloud service defaults, missing security headers, debug endpoints exposed to internet, unrestricted API Gateway access, insecure managed service configurations across 50+ cloud services.

🔗

Business Logic & Privilege Escalation

IAM privilege escalation chains, cross-service attack paths, resource-based policy abuse, confused deputy attacks, metadata service exploitation (IMDS), and cloud-specific business logic vulnerabilities.

Our Methodology

From scoping to certificate
in 5 structured phases

01

Scoping & Access

Define cloud accounts, regions, services in scope. Configure read-only access. Agree on rules of engagement — non-destructive by default.

02

Asset Inventory

Map every cloud resource: IAM users, roles, buckets, databases, VMs, serverless functions, containers, and network configurations.

03

Automated Scanning

400+ automated cloud-specific checks run against CIS benchmarks and OWASP Cloud Security Top 10. Zero-noise results validated before reporting.

04

Manual Expert Testing

Certified cloud pentesters manually test privilege escalation chains, business logic flaws, and attack paths automated tools always miss.

05

Report & Certificate

Actionable report with CVSS scores, reproduction steps, and fix guidance. Free retests. Publicly verifiable pentest certificate on completion.

01
CIS Benchmarks

Benchmarked against CIS & OWASP standards

Every finding is mapped to CIS Benchmarks for AWS, Azure, and GCP — the gold standard for cloud security configuration. We also align with OWASP Cloud Security Top 10, CSA Cloud Controls Matrix, and your compliance framework of choice.

  • CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark — 200+ controls tested and scored
  • CIS Azure Security Benchmark — mapped to Azure Security Center recommendations
  • OWASP Cloud Security Top 10 — every risk category validated manually
  • CSA Cloud Controls Matrix — compliance gap analysis across all domains

Expert Manual Testing

Human experts find what
automation always misses

Automated cloud scanners flag known misconfigurations. Our certified cloud pentesters go deeper — chaining together IAM weaknesses, service misconfigurations, and business logic flaws into real attack paths that prove actual risk.

  • IAM privilege escalation chains — from low-privilege user to cloud admin
  • Confused deputy attacks — cross-account role abuse and trust policy misuse
  • Metadata service exploitation — IMDS v1/v2 SSRF attack chains
  • Container escape paths — EKS/AKS/GKE privilege escalation to node

Report & Compliance

Audit-ready reports
accepted by any auditor

Every cloud pentest produces a comprehensive report with CVSS scores, video proof-of-concept, reproduction steps, and fix guidance mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR requirements. Once fixed — a publicly verifiable certificate.

  • CVSS v4.0 scored findings — every issue prioritized by actual risk, not theory
  • Video PoC + reproduction steps — pentesters show exactly how to replicate
  • 2 free retests included — we verify every fix before closing findings
  • Publicly verifiable certificate — share with investors, customers & auditors

What Security Teams Say

What customers say about
Astrolabe Cloud Pentesting

"

Astrolabe's cloud pentest uncovered an IAM privilege escalation chain that gave attackers a path from a low-privilege developer account to full AWS admin. We had no idea it existed. The video PoC made it impossible to argue about severity with our engineering team.

CTO, Requestly (BrowserStack)
"

The cloud pentest report was accepted directly by our SOC 2 Type II auditor without any pushback. The CIS benchmark mapping, CVSS scores, and detailed remediation steps made compliance evidence collection completely painless. Highly recommended.

MF
Michael Foster
CISO, HealthTech Platform
"

What surprised us was the depth of manual testing. The automated scan found configuration issues, but the pentesters went further — they chained together 3 separate misconfigurations into a complete data exfiltration path. That's real value no scanner provides.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We pentest AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and DigitalOcean. For multi-cloud environments, we provide a unified dashboard and report covering all accounts simultaneously. Each platform is tested against its provider-specific CIS Benchmark controls plus our custom cloud security test library of 400+ checks.
A standard cloud penetration test takes 8–10 business days from access configuration to final report delivery. This includes: automated scanning (days 1–2), expert manual testing (days 3–7), report writing and review (days 8–9), and client walkthrough (day 10). Timeline may extend for large multi-cloud environments. We agree on a firm schedule before starting.
Yes. Astrolabe's cloud pentesting is non-destructive by design. We use read-only API credentials for reconnaissance and configuration review. Any exploitation testing (privilege escalation chains, attack path validation) is done in a controlled manner, agreed upon in advance, during off-peak hours. We cannot make changes to your infrastructure — only observe and analyze.
We require read-only access credentials with sufficient permissions to enumerate IAM, compute, storage, networking, and security service configurations. For AWS, a read-only IAM user with SecurityAudit + ReadOnlyAccess managed policies. For Azure, Reader role on the relevant subscriptions. For GCP, Viewer role on target projects. We provide exact setup instructions on onboarding.
The Cloud Scanner is an agentless, continuous automated tool that runs 400+ checks daily. The Cloud Pentest is a time-boxed expert engagement where certified security engineers manually test your cloud — including privilege escalation chains, business logic attacks, and attack path chaining that automation cannot replicate. Pentest = human expertise + automation. Scanner = continuous automation only. Most enterprise teams use both together.
Our cloud pentest report is accepted by auditors for SOC 2 Type II (security, availability controls), ISO 27001 Annex A (A.18 compliance, A.12 operations), PCI-DSS Requirement 11.3, HIPAA § 164.308 technical safeguards, and GDPR Article 32. We map every finding to relevant framework controls and generate framework-specific compliance sections in the report.
Two full retests are included in every cloud pentest engagement. After you apply fixes, our pentesters re-verify each remediated finding within 3 business days. If a fix is incomplete or introduces a new issue, we flag it immediately. Once all critical and high findings are resolved, we issue your publicly verifiable pentest certificate.
We recommend quarterly cloud pentests or after any significant infrastructure change — new cloud accounts, architecture migrations, new services, or personnel changes. For continuous assurance between pentests, our Cloud Scanner runs automated checks daily. Most compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI-DSS) require annual cloud pentesting at minimum — quarterly is industry best practice.
Yes. Multi-cloud pricing depends on the number of cloud accounts, regions, and services in scope. Contact our team for a tailored quote — most multi-cloud engagements (AWS + Azure or AWS + GCP) are priced at a modest premium over single-cloud. We provide a detailed scope document and pricing estimate within 24 hours of your inquiry.
