Best Cloud Penetration Testing Services
The Cloud Amplifies Your Mistakes. Cloud environments amplify misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and exposed resources. Orasec’s cloud penetration testing services assess AWS, Azure, and GCP for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and data exposure risks. Our expert testing identifies weaknesses that automated tools miss, helping you prevent breaches, enforce the shared responsibility model, and protect sensitive cloud workloads.
Control Plane vs Data Plane in Cloud Penetration Testing
Control Plane
The control plane governs who can do what in your cloud environment. Orasec’s cloud penetration testing services assess IAM policies, roles, and permissions to ensure attackers cannot abuse administrative access.
- Identity and access management review
- Role assumption and chaining testing
- Cross-account access validation
- Service control policy assessment
Data Plane
The data plane includes all cloud resources, storage, and compute workloads. Our penetration testing cloud computing evaluates these resources for misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and exploitable weaknesses.
- S3 / Blob / GCS bucket permission audits
- Database access control and privilege testing
- Compute instance security assessment
- Network segmentation and isolation verification
Shared Responsibility = Your Responsibility
Cloud breaches don’t require sophisticated attacks. Misconfigured storage, over permissioned IAM roles, and exposed management interfaces give attackers an easy path. Understanding the shared responsibility model is key:
The Cloud Provider Secures: Physical infrastructure, Hypervisor, Network backbone.
You Secure: IAM policies and permissions, Data encryption and access controls, Network configuration, Application security.
Misconfigurations Get Discovered
Cloud reconnaissance is automated. Attackers continuously scan for exposed storage, credential leaks, and misconfigured services. A single overpermissioned IAM role or public S3 bucket can expose your entire organization.
Our Cloud Penetration Testing Services
Orasec provides end to end cloud penetration testing services to assess every layer of your cloud environment. Our sub services include:
AWS Penetration Testing Test IAM roles, S3 buckets, EC2 instances, Lambda functions, and cross account access for privilege escalation and misconfigurations.
Azure Security Penetration Testing Evaluate role based access, storage accounts, virtual machines, and Azure Functions for security gaps and excessive permissions.
GCP Penetration Testing Assess IAM roles, storage buckets, compute instances, and serverless workflows to prevent unauthorized access and data leaks.
Cloud Based Penetration Testing Identify vulnerabilities in cloud workloads, including serverless, containers, and hybrid deployments.
Cloud Security Penetration Testing Full stack security testing covering control plane, data plane, compute resources, network segmentation, and monitoring.
Penetration Testing for Cloud Computing Simulate real world attacks to find misconfigurations, over permissioned roles, exposed services, and chained vulnerabilities.
Automated & Manual Cloud Security Testing Combine automated scans with expert manual testing to uncover hidden security risks.
Secure Your Cloud Infrastructure with Expert Penetration Testing
Cloud environments are complex and constantly changing, making cloud penetration testing services essential for preventing data breaches. Orasec evaluates AWS, Azure, and GCP environments to uncover misconfigured IAM roles, over permissioned access, exposed storage, and serverless vulnerabilities. By simulating real world attack scenarios, our testers provide actionable insights to protect sensitive data, strengthen security controls, and maintain compliance, helping organizations safeguard critical cloud workloads before attackers exploit them.
Cloud Penetration Testing: Common Attack Techniques
Our cloud penetration testing services identify the ways attackers exploit misconfigurations and weaknesses in cloud environments:
IAM privilege escalation via role chaining, policy misconfigurations, and excessive permissions
Cloud storage bucket enumeration and sensitive data extraction (S3, Blob, GCS)
Metadata service abuse for credential theft (IMDS, managed identity)
Cross account access exploitation across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments
Serverless function misuse, injection, and logic flaws
Container escape attempts and Kubernetes cluster compromise
Cloud native service exploitation, including RDS, Lambda, and Functions
Beyond CIS Benchmarks in Cloud Penetration Testing
Automated tools detect standard misconfigurations, but attackers exploit deeper flaws. Our cloud penetration testing services assess how far a threat actor can go and uncover risks that go beyond default checks.
Our Cloud Penetration Testing Includes:
- IAM privilege escalation and role chaining analysis
- Metadata service abuse (IMDS, managed identity exploitation)
- Cross-account access testing across AWS, Azure, and GCP
- Serverless function security review and injection testing
- Container and Kubernetes cluster assessment
