- Zero False Positives
Every finding is validated by hand before it reaches your report, so your team acts on real risk, not scanner noise.
- Certified Operators
OSCP, CISSP, and GIAC certified testers run every cloud infrastructure engagement from start to finish.
- Framework Aligned
All testing maps to OWASP, NIST, PTES, and MITRE ATT&CK, so your report holds up with auditors.

Once you fix the issues, we retest every affected area at no extra cost to confirm the risk is closed.
About Our Cloud Infrastructure Pen Testing
A Deeper Approach to Infrastructure Security
Wondering how to assess your cloud infrastructure beyond what a built-in tool flags? Most automated scanners surface what's already documented in a dashboard somewhere and miss everything else. A genuine cloud infrastructure penetration test requires operators who understand how attackers chain together small missteps an over scoped IAM role here, an exposed storage bucket there, an insecure serverless function somewhere else into full environment compromise. Pluto Security's certified operators manually test your cloud infrastructure from an attacker's perspective, validating every finding by hand before it ever reaches your report. No scanner noise, no false posi['tives, just clear evidence of what's exploitable and a practical path to fix it.

// Scope
Full Scope Coverage Across Your Cloud Infrastructure
Storage and Data Exposure
Publicly exposed buckets, unencrypted data stores, and broken access controls that put sensitive data at risk.
Network Configuration
Misconfigured security groups, exposed management ports, insecure VPC configurations, and lateral movement paths that expose internal resources.
Serverless and Container Workloads
Insecure functions, vulnerable orchestration settings, and container escape risks across your event driven and containerized layers.
Compute and Application Services
Exposed instances, weak identity bindings, and misconfigured services across your cloud compute layer.
Secrets and Credentials
Hardcoded keys, exposed environment variables, and improperly stored credentials that give attackers a direct path in.
// Methodology
How a Cloud Infrastructure Penetration Testing Engagement Works
- 01
Scoping
We map your cloud infrastructure and define the testing criteria that matter most to your business, whether that's a single account or your full multi cloud footprint.
- 02
Testing
Certified operators manually test your IAM, storage, network, compute, and serverless configurations 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.

Why Choose Pluto Security?
Manual Testing, Built for Cloud Infrastructure
Cloud infrastructure changes fast, and a one time scan can't keep up with how quickly a misconfigured resource turns into a breach. That's why our cloud infrastructure penetration testing is built around certified humans who understand how attackers actually move through AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.
Manual First
Our operators find chained attack paths and privilege escalation routes 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.
Testing That Mirrors Real Attackers
- We test your cloud infrastructure the way an attacker would, chaining small misconfigurations across IAM, storage, and networking into real, business-impacting attack paths.
- 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 assess your identity controls, network configuration, and workload permissions for privilege escalation paths that automated tools consistently overlook.

- Hidden Infrastructure Risks
- Manual Vulnerability Validation
- Attack Path & Risk Analysis
- Actionable Remediation Guidance
Methodologies and Frameworks We Follow

// Business impact
A Compliant Cloud Infrastructure 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 a misconfigured security group to an overprivileged IAM role and work their way to a storage bucket full of customer data. A thorough cloud infrastructure penetration test 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 resource, not a sophisticated zero-day attack.
Scanners Miss What Attackers Find
Automated tools catch known signatures, but they consistently miss chained vulnerabilities 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 infrastructure.
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 risk daily, making point in time testing critical to staying ahead.
Serverless and Containers Are Under Tested
Event-driven workloads and containers are frequently deployed with excessive permissions that go unnoticed until an attacker finds them first.
Privilege Escalation Is Rarely Obvious
Attackers chain together small misconfigurations 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 infrastructure breach can trigger regulatory fines, customer churn, and reputational damage that far exceeds the investment in proactive security testing.
