Cloud Security Assessment Services

See your cloud the way an attacker does

Adversary-Focused Assessment for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud

Misplaced permissions, exposed storage, and weak network boundaries turn small mistakes into compromise. Forgepath tests your cloud like an attacker would—pivoting through identity trust, service misconfigurations, and data-access paths to demonstrate real impact. We examine multi-account/tenant structure; IAM/Entra ID/Cloud Identity posture; VPC/VNETs and firewalling; gateways and public endpoints; EKS/AKS/GKE and serverless; storage and key management; and logging/monitoring that should surface abuse.

You’ll receive reproducible findings with evidence (requests, policies, roles, configs), impact, and concrete mitigations aligned to your providers and tooling. The result is a prioritized path to reduce blast radius and make lateral movement harder—across one cloud or many.

Secure What Matters

Strengthen Your Cloud Security

Focused, attacker-informed testing across identities, networks, services, and data. Clear evidence, practical fixes.

Targeted tests where breaches begin.

Identity: privilege escalation paths, wildcard policies, stale/admin roles, app registrations/service principals, service account keys, workload identity federation, cross-account/tenant trusts.
Network & Edge: internet-exposed endpoints, flat segments, permissive security groups/NSGs/firewalls, WAF rules, private access (PrivateLink/Private Service Connect/IAP) gaps.
Compute & Orchestration: EKS/AKS/GKE controls (pod security, node roles, network policies), VM/Functions/Container runtimes, metadata/IMDS abuse, CI/CD and artifact provenance checks.
Data & Secrets: S3/Blob/Cloud Storage exposure, object ACLs and public access settings, KMS/Key Vault/KMS key policies, Secrets Manager/Key Vault/Secret Manager hygiene.
Detection & Logging: CloudTrail/Azure Audit/SCC coverage, alerting baselines, and gaps that hide suspicious activity.

Issues that routinely lead to compromise.

Over-permissive IAM (e.g., *:* actions, missing permission boundaries, dormant high-privilege principals).
Public or broadly shared storage buckets/containers; weak key policies; secrets in code, images, or user data.
Flat networks or open ingress rules; exposed admin planes; missing private endpoints for data services.
Kubernetes misconfigurations (privileged pods, no network policies, broad node scopes) and serverless overreach (functions with excessive roles).
Logging gaps—no org/tenant-wide trails, disabled data-access logs, inconsistent retention that impedes investigation.

Evidence and guidance your teams can act on.

Exploit-focused findings with policy/role snippets, config diffs, requests/responses, and affected resources.
Impact & likelihood explained in business terms (data access, privilege gain, lateral movement).
Provider-specific mitigations for AWS, Azure, and GCP (policy examples, guardrail patterns, and configuration steps).
Prioritized remediation plan with owners and suggested sequencing.

Collaborative, transparent, and safe.

Access model: read-only roles and agreed test accounts; safe techniques scoped to lower or sandboxed environments where appropriate.
Working style: kick-off to refine high-value targets, ongoing Slack/Teams channel, short progress touchpoints, and knowledge transfer sessions for platform teams.
Deliverables: an executive summary plus engineer-ready notes.

What helps accelerate the engagement.

Account/tenant and project inventory; current identity and network guardrails (SCPs/Org Policies/Conditional Access).
List of internet-facing services and critical data stores.
Logging/monitoring posture (CloudTrail/Azure Audit Logs/Audit Logs, Security Hub/Defender/SCC).
Points of contact for platform, networking, and security.

Forgepath separates themselves from the rest as they’re a true security partner to Parsysco. They took the time to understand our requirements and how things were working with our previous provider.

We were impressed by how quickly they formulated a new strategy and approach. They helped us identify our challenges and consistently brought forward solutions that were in Parsysco’s best interest.

Most vendors only care about selling something, Forgepath took the personal relationship and partnership approach that we value greatly.
