CLOUD SECURITY AUDIT
Cloud security audit for AWS, Azure and GCP
An independent review of your cloud against CIS Benchmarks and best practice, so misconfigurations are fixed before they become breaches.
What is a cloud security audit?
A cloud security audit is an independent review of your AWS, Azure or GCP environment against best practices such as CIS Benchmarks. It checks identity and access, network exposure, data protection, logging and configuration to find misconfigurations that could lead to a breach.
Most cloud breaches start with a setting, not an exploit.
Public storage buckets, over-privileged roles and disabled logging cause more cloud incidents than zero-days. A HostX cloud audit finds these settings across every account and ranks them by real risk, so your team fixes the dangerous ones first.
