Once you fix the issues, we retest every affected area at no extra cost to confirm the risk is closed.
About Our Cloud Configuration
Comprehensive Cloud Configuration Security Assessment
Wondering how to identify cloud misconfigurations beyond what a built in tool flags? Most automated scanners surface long lists of theoretical issues and miss the ones that matter most. A genuine cloud configuration and misconfiguration assessment requires operators who understand how attackers chain together small missteps, an overly permissive role here, a logging gap there into full account compromise. Pluto Security's certified operators manually assess your AWS, Azure, and GCP configurations from an attacker's perspective, validating every finding by hand before it reaches your report. No scanner noise, no false positives, just clear evidence of what's exploitable and a practical path to fix it.
Proven exploitable findings only
Zero scanner noise guaranteed
Compliance mapped every time
Free retest always included
// Scope
Full Scope Coverage Across Your Cloud Configuration
Storage and Data Exposure
Publicly accessible buckets, unencrypted data stores, and broken access controls that put sensitive data at risk.
Network Configuration
Exposed security groups, insecure VPC configurations, and lateral movement opportunities hiding in your network layer.
Logging and Monitoring Gaps
Disabled or misconfigured logging that would otherwise catch an attacker in the act and leave you blind when it matters most.
Multi Cloud Environments
Cross cloud misconfigurations and inconsistent security postures across AWS, Azure, and GCP that create gaps no single-platform scan would surface.
// Methodology
How a Cloud Configuration & Misconfiguration Assessment Engagement Works
- 01
Scoping
We map your cloud environment and define the assessment criteria that matter most to your business, whether that's a single account or your full multi-cloud footprint.
- 02
Testing
Certified operators manually review and validate your configurations across IAM, storage, networking, and logging using attacker-driven methodology, with automation supporting coverage, never replacing the work.
- 03
Reporting
You get a clear, audit ready report that ranks findings by real business risk, backed by proof of exploitation.
- 04
Remediation Support
We walk your team through fixes step by step, so findings turn into resolved issues.
- 05
Free Retest
Once fixes are in place, we retest the affected systems at no extra cost to confirm the risk is closed.

// What we deliver
Audit Ready Reports Built for Cloud Teams
Every engagement ends with a report built for your engineers and your leadership alike, detailed enough to guide remediation and clear enough to hand to an auditor.
- Proof Backed Findings
Technical findings documented with proof of exploitation evidence for every identified misconfiguration, so nothing is taken on faith.
- Risk Ranking
Every finding is prioritized by real world exploitability, so your team knows exactly where to focus first.
- Remediation Guidance
Actionable fix recommendations mapped directly to your specific cloud stack no generic advice your engineers have to decode.
- Compliance Mapping
All findings mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST CSF to support audit readiness straight out of the report.
Why Choose Pluto Security?
Manual Assessment, Built for Cloud Configurations
Cloud environments change fast, and a one time scan can't keep up with how quickly a misconfigured setting turns into a breach. That's why our cloud configuration and misconfiguration assessment is built around certified humans who understand how attackers actually exploit the gaps that automated tools miss.
Manual First
Our operators find chained misconfigurations and business logic gaps that automated tools miss entirely.
Certified Operators
Every engagement is run by testers holding OSCP, CISSP, and GIAC credentials.
Zero False Positives
We prove exploitability before anything lands in your report.
Compliance Ready
Deliverables map directly to SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST CSF.
Assessment That Mirrors Real Attackers
- We assess your cloud configuration the way an attacker would, tracing how a permissive IAM role, an exposed bucket, or a loose security group chains into real, business impacting risk
- We validate every finding by hand before it reaches your report, so your team never chases a false positive.
- We map every result to the compliance frameworks your auditors and customers actually ask about.
- We review your logging and monitoring setup to surface the visibility gaps that let attackers operate undetected.
What you get
- Cloud Configuration Findings
- IAM & Access Control Insights
- Infrastructure & Security Control Assessment
- Actionable Remediation Guidance
Methodologies and Frameworks We Follow
- OWASP
- NIST
- PTES
- MITRE ATT&CK
// Business impact
A Compliant Cloud Configuration Isn't Always a Secure One
Passing an audit tells you your controls exist on paper. It doesn't tell you whether an attacker can chain an exposed IAM role to a storage bucket full of customer data. A thorough cloud configuration and misconfiguration assessment closes that gap before it becomes an incident report.
Misconfigurations Are the #1 Breach Vector
Most cloud incidents trace back to a misconfigured IAM role or exposed storage bucket, not a sophisticated zero day attack.
Scanners Miss What Attackers Find
Automated tools catch known signatures, but they consistently miss chained misconfigurations and context dependent risks that real attackers exploit.
IAM Weaknesses Open the Entire Environment
A single overprivileged role can give an attacker a path from initial access to full administrative control across your cloud footprint.
Compliance Doesn't Equal Security
Passing a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit confirms your controls exist on paper, it doesn't confirm they'd hold up against a real attack.
Cloud Environments Change Fast
New resources, updated policies, and infrastructure changes can introduce new misconfiguration risk daily, making point in time assessments critical to staying ahead.
Logging Gaps Let Attackers Operate Undetected
Misconfigured or disabled logging means an attacker can move through your environment without triggering a single alert.
Privilege Escalation Is Rarely Obvious
Attackers chain together small configuration missteps to escalate privileges in ways that neither automated tools nor internal reviews typically catch.
The Cost of a Breach Outweighs the Cost of Testing
A single cloud breach can trigger regulatory fines, customer churn, and reputational damage that far exceeds the investment in proactive configuration assessment.
