Cloud pentest procurement guide

Separate configuration assurance from an authorized cloud attack simulation

Cloud security work should state exactly which accounts, subscriptions, projects, identities and workloads are included. nCrypt combines a read-only control review with approved attack-path testing when the customer needs evidence of exploitability. The rules of engagement distinguish safe validation from actions that could interrupt production, change persistent resources or access regulated data.

Identity and privilege paths

We review human, workload and federated identities; role assignments; permission boundaries; trust policies; secrets; access keys and privilege-escalation paths. Testing follows an approved starting identity so the report shows what that identity could actually reach.

Network and data exposure

Coverage includes public services, security groups and firewall rules, private connectivity, storage permissions, encryption, logging and cross-account sharing. Findings distinguish internet exposure from risk that requires an existing foothold.

Workloads and delivery pipelines

Where included, we assess virtual machines, serverless functions, containers, Kubernetes, registries, metadata services and CI/CD trust. Active container escape or persistence techniques require explicit approval and a suitable non-production environment.

Detection and evidence

CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs, Google Cloud audit logs and security-platform alerts are reviewed against the agreed test actions. This lets security teams verify both preventive controls and whether meaningful activity reached monitoring and response workflows.

What we need before kickoff

  • Account/subscription/project inventory, architecture diagram and named business owners.
  • Read-only audit access plus separate constrained test identities for approved exploitation.
  • Provider pentest-policy review, maintenance window, emergency contacts and rollback ownership.
  • Data classification and explicit exclusions for regulated workloads, backups and shared services.

What you receive

  • Control and attack-path findings separated by cloud account, identity and affected asset.
  • Reproducible evidence with sensitive identifiers and customer data masked.
  • Remediation guidance for IAM, network, workload, logging and organization-level guardrails.
  • Executive risk narrative plus a verification report for retested fixes.

Boundaries and assumptions

  • No resource deletion, denial-of-service, cryptomining, persistence or unapproved data extraction.
  • SaaS platforms and third-party managed services are excluded without their written authorization.
  • A configuration review does not claim exploitability unless an attack path is safely validated.
  • Kubernetes, application and source-code testing are separate scopes unless named in the proposal.
