Audit configurations and validate access boundaries across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes clusters. Leverage expert-driven cloud security assessment services to prevent data leaks and privilege escalations.
In cloud-first environments, identity boundaries and microservice permissions have replaced traditional physical firewalls. A single misconfigured policy can compromise an entire cluster or database. XC0MRADE provides premier cloud security assessment services that combine automated architecture scanning with active manual verification. We inspect IAM trust configurations, public database settings, secrets storage, and Kubernetes ingress/egress rules to isolate actual exploit pathways. Our security engineers ensure your infrastructure is resilient against advanced threat actors, mapping all issues to concrete remediation steps.
A cloud security assessment is a comprehensive review designed to validate the security posture of an organization's cloud networks, identity definitions, container clusters, and deployment configurations. Unlike standard network scanning, cloud-native environments are highly dynamic, governed by complex metadata trees, resource tags, and cross-service trust parameters.
A thorough cloud security audit evaluates how resources interact, checking for IAM privilege escalation paths that let standard server instances assume administrative rights. It also reviews public storage rules (such as AWS S3 or GCP Cloud Storage configurations), container virtualization rules, and secrets lifecycle management. By verifying your configuration scripts (Terraform, CloudFormation) and network routing maps, cloud assessments ensure you meet modern security controls while preventing unauthorized access paths.
We leverage safe, structured metadata reviews combined with active container configuration validation.
Provision a read-only metadata auditor role inside your AWS, GCP, or Azure subscription. We require no write access.
Our tools build complete dependency maps showing user roles, storage keys, servers, buckets, and microservices.
Security engineers analyze policy paths to trace privilege escalations, open ports, container escape points, or credential leak spots.
Findings are verified, prioritized by actual security risk, and pushed to your dashboard with re-testing enabled.
We audit multi-cloud nodes, container definitions, identity access matrices, and deployment scripts to secure your architecture.
We audit active user roles, API keys, service accounts, and trust policies. We identify hidden privilege escalation paths (e.g. PassRole) that allow attackers to compromise root nodes.
We scan bucket permissions, database snapshots, and key-value stores. We verify that sensitive directories cannot be read without authentication.
We evaluate pod configurations, runtime boundaries, namespace segmentations, and service accounts. We verify that container escapes or cluster privilege escalation attempts are blocked.
We inspect public configurations, docker image logs, and Git metadata to ensure API keys, database credentials, and signing certificates are not exposed in plaintext.
We audit Terraform, CloudFormation, and Pulumi scripts before deployment to prevent structural misconfigurations from entering production.
We simulate internal breach states to verify if attackers can move laterally between staging, production, and corporate environments.
We generate comprehensive security audits mapping configuration matrices directly to international standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001). Developer-ready guides include remediation instructions and code changes to secure your infrastructure.
As your developers resolve security drifts, we validate their changes with on-demand re-tests. Once verified, we update your live compliance dashboard and generate updated reports at no additional cost.
XC0MRADE cloud security assessments align with critical trust and compliance control frameworks, streamlining audits for your security team.
Automated compliance dashboards identify thousands of static syntax flags, causing massive alert fatigue for developers. XC0MRADE takes a different approach. We combine advanced logic parsers with expert offensive security engineering to validate and prioritize actual attack paths. We demonstrate how minor misconfigurations can be linked to expose sensitive systems. This high-signal, verified triage flow ensures your engineering teams prioritize critical risks without wasting cycles on false positives.

Cloud security assessment services evaluate the configuration, access controls, network boundaries, and deployment templates of an organization's cloud infrastructure (such as AWS, GCP, or Azure). The goal is to uncover security misconfigurations, excessive permissions, container vulnerabilities, and logic flaws that expose data to attackers.
We conduct cloud security audits by requesting read-only, metadata-only IAM roles (such as AWS SecurityAudit or Google Cloud Viewer). We do not require write access, write credentials, or access to sensitive customer databases, ensuring zero operational downtime or data risk during testing.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools automate syntax checking of resource configs to flag violations. However, they lack context, creating massive alert fatigue. XC0MRADE combines automated logic graphs with human engineering to map active exploit chains—such as chaining a minor storage leak to an IAM privilege escalation path.
IAM privilege escalation paths are configuration errors where a service account, user role, or resource policy is granted permission combinations (e.g. iam:PassRole and ec2:RunInstances) that allow it to create or attach higher-level privileges, effectively letting an attacker compromise root cluster configurations.
We perform Kubernetes penetration testing by auditing pod security contexts, container egress boundaries, API server access controls, and service accounts. We simulate compromised container instances to see if we can escape to the underlying node or pivot laterally across namespaces.
Our assessments trace configurations back to specific control requirements for SOC 2 Type II (trust criteria) and ISO 27001 (Annex A controls). We deliver detailed mapping sheets, demonstrating encryption-at-rest, identity lifecycle logs, and egress isolation for your audit trail.
We scan storage configurations using programmatic access policies and public exposure tests. We check policies, Access Control Lists (ACLs), bucket policies, block-public-access controls, and direct endpoint URLs to ensure database snapshots, user logs, and backups are strictly locked down.
Scan your multi-cloud setup and Kubernetes configurations to ensure zero exposed entry points.
