Identity and Privilege
Administrative roles, excessive permissions, conditional access, multifactor controls, service principals, guest access, and privilege escalation paths.
Cloud Security
Cloud security assessments built around identity, exposure, and attack paths.
TruSec evaluates cloud identities, permissions, services, storage, administrative controls, logging, and hybrid trust relationships to identify misconfigurations and exploitable paths that create practical risk.
Service Overview
Review the controls that determine who can reach what in the cloud.
Cloud environments can change quickly and often combine provider controls, identity platforms, third-party applications, automation, and on-premises trust. Risk may come from one excessive permission, a public service, an exposed secret, a weak administrative workflow, or a series of individually minor configuration decisions.
TruSec tailors the assessment to the deployed services and business objectives. Work may include Azure and Microsoft 365, cloud infrastructure, identity and access management, storage, network controls, monitoring, administrative roles, and hybrid connections.
Assessment Coverage
Coverage based on the services and identities that matter most.
The assessment can combine configuration review, identity analysis, attack-surface validation, and controlled testing.
External Exposure
Public services, management interfaces, application endpoints, storage, network rules, DNS, remote access, and Internet-facing misconfiguration.
Data and Storage
Access controls, public sharing, encryption settings, retention, sensitive data exposure, cross-account access, and backup protections.
Secrets and Automation
Keys, tokens, application credentials, pipelines, scripts, managed identities, vaults, and secret rotation practices.
Monitoring and Response
Audit logs, security alerts, identity events, administrative activity, log retention, detection coverage, and response readiness.
Hybrid Trust
Federation, synchronization, cloud-to-on-premises connectivity, shared identity, VPNs, and pathways that cross environment boundaries.
How the Engagement Works
Assessment depth matched to the cloud environment.
Inventory services
Confirm tenants, subscriptions, accounts, regions, identity providers, workloads, and high-value data.
Review configuration
Evaluate access, exposure, storage, logging, network controls, secrets, and administrative safeguards.
Validate practical risk
Test approved attack paths and determine whether misconfigurations can be used to gain access or expose data.
Prioritize improvements
Provide risk-ranked findings, architecture context, corrective actions, and optional validation of fixes.
Deliverables
Cloud findings tied to resources, identities, and business impact.
Reporting separates immediate exposure from longer-term hardening and governance opportunities.
- Executive summary and cloud security posture
- Reviewed tenants, subscriptions, services, and identities
- Risk-rated configuration and attack-path findings
- Affected resources, roles, policies, or accounts
- Evidence and validation steps
- Technical and business impact
- Prioritized remediation and hardening guidance
- Control mapping where relevant to the engagement
The assessment scope distinguishes between configuration review, penetration testing, and broader cloud architecture or governance advisory work.
Common Questions
Cloud security assessment questions
Which cloud platforms can be assessed?
Scope depends on the deployed environment and access available. TruSec can assess cloud infrastructure and identity services, including Azure and Microsoft 365 environments.
Is this a configuration review or a penetration test?
It can include either or both. The scope should clearly define whether the objective is control review, attack-path validation, external testing, authenticated testing, or a combined assessment.
Do you review Microsoft 365 security controls?
Yes. Coverage can include identity, privileged roles, conditional access, multifactor authentication, application consent, external sharing, logging, and administrative settings.
What access is typically required?
Read-only or security-review access is often sufficient for configuration assessment. Controlled credentials or test accounts may be needed to validate user, role, or attack-path behavior.
