As more organisations migrate their infrastructure to the cloud, attackers are shifting focus too –  targeting misconfigurations, weak architecture, and exposed services. At Aurian Security, we help organisations harden their cloud environments by uncovering security gaps before they’re exploited.

Our cloud security assessments are tailored to your platform (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and aligned with industry-leading frameworks and provider best practices.

Cloud Security Configuration Assessment

Misconfigured cloud environments are one of the leading causes of security breaches — often due to overly permissive access, poor logging practices, or missing encryption controls. Our Cloud Security Configuration Assessment is designed to give you a clear picture of where your cloud security posture stands against your provider’s best practice frameworks.

We examine your environment’s configuration across identity and access management (IAM), virtual machines and storage services, logging and monitoring setups, authentication flows, and public exposure of services. Whether you’re on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, our consultants assess settings against benchmarks such as the CIS Foundations Benchmarks and cloud provider-specific security recommendations.

You’ll receive a detailed report with prioritised recommendations, remediation guidance, and insight into where you might be exposed, even if it’s not immediately obvious.

Cloud Security Configuration Assessment​

Securing cloud workloads isn’t just about configuration; it’s about how the whole environment is designed. A poorly segmented network or insecure trust relationships between services can give attackers an easy path from a misconfigured web service to sensitive internal systems.

Our Cloud Security Architecture Assessment focuses on the strategic design of your environment. We conduct an in-depth review of your cloud or hybrid architecture, analysing elements such as network segmentation, public/private interface exposure, tier separation, shared responsibility boundaries, and the use of cloud-native security controls.

This service is ideal for organisations planning a migration, undergoing rapid cloud adoption, or concerned about the risks of lateral movement and privilege escalation. Our recommendations are built for practicality, not theory, and based on real-world adversarial techniques.

Microsoft 365 Security Configuration Review

As the go-to platform for business collaboration and communication, Microsoft 365 has become a high-value target for attackers. Despite its powerful security features, many organisations unknowingly operate with default or misaligned configurations, leaving sensitive data and access pathways exposed.

Our Microsoft 365 Security Review assesses the configuration of key services including Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Entra/Azure AD. We investigate account privileges, authentication and conditional access policies, external sharing permissions, inactive user accounts, and more.

We also evaluate the use of logging and alerting, legacy protocols, MFA enforcement, and potential escalation paths via third-party integrations or overlooked features.

Your report will include practical, prioritised fixes and architectural recommendations to improve security while maintaining usability for your teams.
