Purpose
When this assessment fits
Modern engineering teams rapidly deploy applications using serverless architectures, managed databases, third-party SaaS tools, public storage, and complex CI/CD pipelines. While these cloud platforms offer immense agility, they also introduce significant security risks if not configured correctly. This assessment provides a deep dive into your cloud environment's configuration, focusing on IAM (Identity and Access Management), data storage permissions, secret management, and network exposure, ensuring your modern infrastructure is built on a secure foundation.
What we review
- Vercel deployment exposure
- Supabase security posture
- Firebase rules and public access concerns
- Cloudflare DNS and security configuration
- Public storage exposure (e.g., S3 buckets)
- GitHub repository and secret exposure indicators
- CI/CD configuration risks
- Environment variable leakage indicators
- Serverless endpoint exposure
- SaaS admin access and user permissions
Common risks we help identify
- →Public database or storage exposure leaking PII or intellectual property
- →Weak access controls (IAM) in managed backend services leading to privilege escalation
- →Secrets (API keys, passwords) exposed through code repositories or build logs
- →Overly permissive Firebase or storage rules allowing unauthorized data modification
- →Admin accounts lacking MFA or proper access control restrictions
- →Staging systems exposed publicly, often with weaker security postures
- →Cloud assets not properly tracked or managed by the central security team
Business value
- Prevent Costly Misconfigurations: Identify and remediate configuration errors before they result in data breaches or resource hijacking.
- Secure CI/CD Pipelines: Ensure your deployment processes do not inadvertently leak secrets or introduce vulnerabilities.
- Protect Cloud Data Assets: Safeguard sensitive information stored in managed databases and cloud storage solutions.
- Ensure IAM Best Practices: Enforce the principle of least privilege across all cloud platforms and SaaS applications.
Methodology coverage
Our methodology involves a combination of automated configuration auditing and manual, expert review. We analyze IAM policies to ensure the principle of least privilege is enforced, review network security group configurations, inspect storage bucket permissions, and search for exposed secrets across repositories and CI/CD pipelines. We evaluate the security posture of key SaaS applications used for administration and development, providing a comprehensive view of your cloud security landscape and actionable guidance for remediation.
What we need from you
- →Cloud/SaaS platforms in scope
- →Read-only access if deeper configuration review is approved
- →List of domains and deployments
- →Written authorization
- →Access restrictions and emergency contacts
Frequently asked questions
Do you need access to our cloud account?
External exposure can be reviewed without account access. However, for a comprehensive, deeper configuration review, approved read-only access (e.g., SecurityAudit role) or a guided screenshare review is required.
Can you review Supabase or Firebase?
Yes. Our reviews specifically cover modern backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platforms, including access rules (RLS), public exposure, storage configuration, API exposure, and authentication-related risks.
