ceronCloud security assessment
Understand which cloud identities, services, and configuration choices expose the systems your application depends on.
Which identities can reach sensitive resources?
For teams reviewing a cloud migration, changing infrastructure or service accounts, or checking whether public exposure matches their intended design.
- The boundary we assess
- Cloud accounts, resource policies, service identities, and public exposure.
- What to prepare
- The authorized cloud account inventory, relevant configuration access, resource owners, and the intended permissions and exposure for each selected environment.
What the assessment can cover
These areas guide scoping. The agreed asset inventory, methods, and access determine which tests are included in your engagement.
Identity and permissions
Review the permissions granted to the agreed users, roles, and service accounts. Compare intended access with resource policies and trust relationships.
Storage and sharing
Examine public access, signed-link behavior, and resource-level restrictions. Define who should be able to read or change each selected class of data.
Exposed services
Compare approved internet-facing assets with the systems actually in scope, including staging and retired services. Investigate unexpected exposure with the relevant owner.
Evidence and operational controls
Review the agreed logging and access-revocation paths. Distinguish logs that record configuration changes from evidence of sensitive data access.
From a test to a useful finding
Ceron uses AI-assisted investigation and checks potential findings against evidence. Your report connects the affected asset, observed behavior, business impact, and recommended fix.
What the evidence should explain
- A retired test service account still has permission to read a synthetic object in a storage bucket.
- Evidence connects the service identity, effective policy, selected resource, and observed access. The report records which accounts and regions were reviewed.
- The recommended fix addresses the permission and retirement process, with an explicit check that removal closes the access path without breaking an authorized workflow.
An external scan cannot prove the security of private cloud policies. Configuration review and deeper testing require agreed access. The assessment is a point-in-time review, not continuous monitoring or a compliance certification.

Plan the review with your team
Use these guides to turn a broad concern into testable questions before your scoping call.
Define cloud assets and access with the scope template →Before you book
Do we need to provide administrator credentials?
Access requirements are agreed for the actual scope. Use the least privilege needed for the selected review, with a defined owner and removal plan. Do not send credentials through the booking form.
Does cloud review include our application?
Cloud configuration and application authorization are different boundaries. If both matter, list both in the scope and provide the required test access for each.
What does the report establish?
It describes the assets, permissions, methods, evidence, findings, and limitations of the agreed review. It does not establish that untested resources are secure or certify compliance.
Start with the boundary that matters.
Bring the systems you want reviewed and the decision you need to make. We agree on assets, access, testing methods, timing, and a fixed fee before work begins.
One-time audits from $1,500. Payment applies only if a verified, actionable vulnerability is found within scope. See pricing and terms.
