Cloud infrastructure can change every day. Your attack surface shifts without a traditional infrastructure change.
New identities, services, APIs, workloads, integrations and network relationships can alter the attack surface without warning. NuageSEC provides cloud security assessment and penetration-testing services across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud environments.
NuageSEC's current cloud service describes AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, APIs, IAM, serverless and attack-path analysis among its coverage.
Permissions, privilege relationships and relevant identity controls.
Internet-accessible and unnecessarily exposed cloud services.
Access controls and security configurations around relevant storage.
Segmentation, security groups and cloud network relationships.
Relevant virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes and serverless environments.
Cloud-hosted and cloud-integrated API security.
Security-relevant cloud configuration weaknesses.
Potential chains from initial access through privilege escalation and lateral movement.
The final scope depends on the cloud architecture and authorised testing conditions.
Assessment can include IAM relationships, EC2, S3, Lambda, Cognito, KMS and relevant workload permissions.
Assessment can include Entra ID relationships, resource permissions, Key Vault controls, NSGs and AKS.
Assessment can include IAM, service accounts, storage, VPC controls and GKE-related security.
Factual Scope & Vendor Neutrality Notice: NuageSEC provides independent third-party penetration testing and technical assessments across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud environments, conducted under client authorisation and approved rules of engagement. Testing does not represent or imply official cloud-provider certification, endorsement or formal sponsorship by Amazon Web Services, Microsoft or Google.
A cloud security assessment can examine security controls, configuration, identity relationships and governance.
A cloud penetration test goes further by validating whether authorised weaknesses can be exploited and chained into meaningful attack paths.
NuageSEC explicitly distinguishes configuration/control assessment from offensive penetration testing and describes testing designed to identify chains that could compromise cloud workloads, identities, storage or infrastructure.
Relevant triggers include:
NuageSEC's current continuous-testing guidance similarly emphasises that modern attack surfaces change with deployments, APIs, integrations and architecture.
For organisations processing personal data, the ICO's security guidance states that organisations should use appropriate technical and organisational measures based on risk. Its guidance also covers system security, vulnerability management, encryption and regular testing.
Cloud security should therefore be assessed in the context of the following, rather than as an isolated configuration exercise:
Data
Identities
Applications
Infrastructure
Third parties
Access paths

Clear answers to the most common questions UK organisations ask when scoping cloud penetration testing and security assessments.
It is an assessment of cloud identities, configurations, workloads, services, network relationships and related security controls.
AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud are currently identified by NuageSEC as supported platforms.
No. Cloud assessment may focus on configuration and controls; penetration testing validates exploitability and attack paths.
Yes. NuageSEC's current cloud service includes Kubernetes and container testing.
Yes, where included in scope.
Yes, where retesting is included.
No. It provides technical assessment evidence for a defined scope and can contribute to a broader compliance/security programme.
Assess identities, exposed services, workloads, APIs and cloud relationships before weaknesses become exploitable attack paths.
