Which cloud providers do you assess?

We have deep expertise in AWS, Azure, and GCP. We can also assess multi cloud environments and cloud native services.

Do you need admin access?

Read only access is sufficient for configuration review. We can also test with minimal permissions to simulate attacker scenarios.

Do you test Kubernetes environments?

Yes. We assess EKS, AKS, GKE, and self managed Kubernetes for container and orchestration security.

What about serverless security?

We test Lambda, Azure Functions, and Cloud Functions for code security, IAM permissions, and event source configuration.

Do you assess Infrastructure as Code?

Yes. We can review Terraform, CloudFormation, and ARM templates for security misconfigurations before deployment.

How long does a cloud security assessment take?

Most cloud security assessments run 1 to 3 weeks. A single account, single provider review with focused workloads fits in 1 week; an enterprise multi account or multi cloud assessment covering AWS, Azure, or GCP with Kubernetes and serverless components typically needs 2 to 3 weeks. We confirm the exact timeline during scoping based on the number of accounts and subscriptions, cloud provider breadth, and the depth of IaC and identity review.

Best Cloud Penetration Testing Services

Clouds Drag Your Errors in The Open

One of the dangers with clouds is that misconfigurations, provision of excessive permissions, and leaving of resources exposed become really obvious. Orasec's cloud penetration testing services provide a security check for AWS, Azure, and GCP identifying vulnerabilities, misconfiguration, and risk of data exposure. Besides the automated tools that can identify only a limited number of weaknesses, our skilled testing can help you secure the environment, avoid breaches, ensure the shared responsibility model is upheld, and keep sensitive cloud workloads safe.

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.

Infrastructure as Code Security Testing Terraform, CloudFormation, and Bicep

Most of the time, security misconfigurations do not occur at runtime. Instead, they are present from the time of deployment. Orasec's cloud security assessment not only features Infrastructure as Code security review, but also a check of Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep, and Pulumi templates for insecure defaults, overly permissive IAM policies, hardcoded secrets, and policy misconfigurations even before they are allowed to production. Identifying IaC vulnerabilities pre deployment is a lot less expensive than fixing a live misconfigured environment.

Cloud Security Assessment for SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 Compliance

It is common these days for compliance auditors to demand proof of a cloud penetration test. OraSec's cloud security assessments provide compliance ready documentation that are in line with SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA Security Rule, ISO 27001 Annex A, and PCI DSS cloud requirements empower your security and compliance teams with the technical evidence required for audits, enterprise procurement processes, and cyber insurance applications, all without conducting a separate assessment for each framework.

Expert Penetration Testing to Secure Your Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud environments are intricate and keep evolving, thus making cloud penetration testing services a must for data breach prevention. Orasec audits AWS, Azure, and GCP among other cloud environments for misconfigured IAM roles, overly permissioned access, exposed storage, and serverless vulnerabilities. By mimicking real world attacks, our testers deliver practical insights that help protect sensitive data, enhance security measures, and stay compliant, at the same time assisting organizations in securing vital cloud workloads against cybercriminals.

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.

Complex IAM permission chains enabling privilege escalation

Conditional policy statements with exploitable edge cases

Cross service attack paths spanning multiple accounts

Custom resource misconfigurations beyond standard benchmarks

Implicit trust relationships between cloud services

Time based and conditional exposures that automated scans miss

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
