Kubernetes & Container Security Assessment

Security review for Kubernetes, container images, workload identities, runtime permissions, manifests, and the surrounding software supply chain.

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.

  • RBAC, service accounts, workload identity, and privilege boundaries
  • Pod security, privileged workloads, namespaces, and isolation
  • Network policies and service exposure
  • Secrets, registries, image provenance, and container configuration
  • Admission controls, policies, Helm, and deployment manifests
  • Runtime assumptions, logging, and common cluster 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.
