What we review

Focused on the controls that change real product risk.

The exact evidence set is tailored during discovery. A typical engagement covers the areas below.

  • Organizations, accounts, IAM, roles, and privilege boundaries
  • VPCs, security groups, public exposure, and network paths
  • S3, RDS, EC2, Lambda, EKS, and workload configuration
  • KMS, secrets, sensitive data, and encryption controls
  • CloudTrail, detection services, logging, and auditability
  • CI/CD, IaC, workload identity, and cloud-to-product attack paths
Deliverables

A decision package — not a scanner export.

Recommendations are prioritized, contextualized, and structured so engineering and leadership can move from findings to action.

“Automated tooling is used for breadth. Human review is used to determine what matters to the product, where attack paths exist, and what should be fixed first.”Engagement principle
