Security Assessment (Cloud & On-Prem)
A point-in-time security assessment of your whole environment, cloud and on-premises, and the security tools meant to protect it.
The problem
You run cloud accounts, an on-premises network with Active Directory and servers, a fleet of endpoints, and a stack of security tools bought over the years. What you do not have is a single, honest view of where the real risk is: what is exposed, what is misconfigured, and whether the tools you pay for are actually protecting anything. The on-prem side in particular has never been assessed as a whole.
The method.
Scope both environments and the security stack
We map what is in scope: cloud accounts, subscriptions and regions; the on-premises network, Active Directory or identity domain, servers and endpoints; and the security tooling meant to defend them (EDR, firewalls, WAF, email security, identity provider, backup). You cannot assess what has not been enumerated, and the forgotten parts are where the risk hides.
Assess the cloud environment
Identity and privilege paths, internet exposure, logging and monitoring coverage, encryption, and configuration against a hardened security baseline. Each finding is tied to the exact resource and ranked by what an attacker could reach.
Assess the on-premises environment
External and internal exposure, network segmentation and flat-network risk, Active Directory and privilege escalation paths, server and endpoint hardening, patch state, and exposed internal services. This is the layer cloud-only tools never see, and it is where lateral movement happens once an attacker is inside.
Test whether the security tools actually protect
For each control you already own, we check coverage, policy mode, tuning and exclusions: EDR running in monitor-only, a WAF never tuned past defaults, an identity provider without conditional access, a backup that has never been restored. Owning a tool is not the same as being protected by it.
Rank by real security risk, and map to compliance
Findings are ranked by exploitability and blast radius, not by a tool severity score, and each is mapped to the compliance obligation it also touches. You get one report that a CISO can act on and an auditor can accept.
How is this different from a penetration test?
A penetration test actively exploits a defined target to prove what an attacker could achieve. A security assessment is broader: it reviews configuration, exposure, identity and control effectiveness across your whole environment, cloud and on-premises, and the security tools in it. The two are complementary. The assessment tells you where the risk is; the pentest proves a specific path through it.
How is this different from cloud security posture?
Cloud Security Posture is a deep, continuous assessment of cloud configuration specifically. This Security Assessment is broader and point-in-time: it covers the on-premises environment (network, Active Directory, servers, endpoints) and the effectiveness of your security tooling as well as the cloud, and produces a single risk-ranked view across all of it.
Do you assess on-premises environments, not just cloud?
Yes. The on-premises environment (internal network segmentation, Active Directory and privilege paths, server and endpoint hardening, patch state, exposed internal services) is assessed in full. It is the layer most often left unexamined, and the layer where an intrusion turns into a breach.
