Cloud Security Posture Reviews (AWS, Azure & GCP)

Connect read-only cloud roles across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to continuously audit storage permissions, network exposure, encryption, and identity hygiene.

Business Outcome:Eliminate cloud misconfigurations—the #1 cause of modern cloud data breaches—without hiring a dedicated cloud security engineer.

AWS S3 Bucket Public Access Block Disabled on Customer Uploads Bucket

Any misapplied object ACL or bucket policy could immediately expose confidential client documents to the public internet.

Verified Remediation Guidance:
aws s3api put-public-access-block \
  --bucket client-documents-prod-uk \
  --public-access-block-configuration "BlockPublicAcls=true,IgnorePublicAcls=true,BlockPublicPolicy=true,RestrictPublicBuckets=true"

What Cloud Security Posture Detects

Every check is non-destructive, rate-limited, and verified to eliminate false-positive noise.

  • Publicly readable or writable S3 buckets, Azure Blob containers, and GCS buckets
  • Security groups and network ACLs exposing SSH (22), RDP (3389), Postgres (5432), or Redis (6379) to 0.0.0.0/0
  • IAM users and service roles with wildcard (*) administrative privileges or stale access keys
  • Unencrypted RDS snapshots, EBS volumes, and disabled CloudTrail / Azure Activity logging
  • Root or Global Admin accounts operating without hardware/phishing-resistant MFA

How It Works in 3 Steps

01

Deploy a read-only audit role

Use our one-click CloudFormation or Terraform template using AWS SecurityAudit / Azure Reader permissions.

02

Continuous CIS & NCSC posture evaluation

HackGuardX evaluates hundreds of cloud resources against CIS Benchmarks and NCSC Cloud Security Principles.

03

Remediate via CLI, Console, or Terraform

Get exact AWS CLI commands, Azure Portal walkthroughs, or HCL snippets to lock down exposed resources.
