Multi-cloud security and misconfiguration assessment

The client is a German fintech running a cloud-security posture platform across three major providers, where its own estate spans AWS, Azure, and GCP. For a firm that sells posture management, its own configuration has to be beyond reproach.

Rapid growth had spread workloads across accounts and regions faster than any single team could keep track of what was actually exposed.

Workloads were scattered across three clouds and dozens of accounts, so the real attack surface was larger and less understood than anyone assumed. Sprawl had outpaced visibility.

Misconfigurations such as over-permissive roles and exposed storage tend to accumulate quietly in this kind of estate, and the client had no independent view of where they sat. Configuration drift is invisible until someone looks for it.

With an audit approaching, the fintech needed its posture assessed against compliance controls and the gaps evidenced, not just listed. The output had to stand up to an assessor.

Within an authorized read-only scope, we enumerated the attack surface across all three providers and tested for misconfiguration, excess privilege, and exposure. Covering every provider consistently is what makes the picture complete.

We mapped each finding to the relevant compliance controls, so the report spoke the auditor's language as well as the engineer's. Framing findings against controls is what makes them audit-ready.

We prioritised the highest-risk exposures first and gave concrete remediation guidance for each, then verified the fixes once applied. The posture moved from unknown to demonstrable.
