Simplified Cloud’s Cloud Security Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your organization’s cloud infrastructure, applications, and data to identify potential attack surfaces, misconfigurations, over privileged accounts, attack surfaces, risks, vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with security best practices and regulatory standards.
In 2023, over 80% of data breaches involved data stored in the cloud. With the increasing adoption of cloud services, it’s crucial to ensure that your cloud environments are secure. A Cloud Security Assessment helps identify any security gaps, enabling you to take proactive measures to mitigate risks.
The assessment typically covers areas such as identity and access management, security control mechanisms, data management, cyber resiliency, governance and policies, network security, encryption, incident response, threat detection, compliance, and data protection.
It’s recommended to conduct a Cloud Security Assessment at least annually. However, it may be beneficial to perform assessments more frequently, depending on changes to your cloud environment or regulatory requirements.
The outcome is a detailed report outlining the current security posture of your cloud environment, potential risks, attack surfaces and vulnerabilities, and an actionable roadmap and recommendations for improvement and protecting your business.
While it’s possible to conduct an assessment internally, it’s often beneficial to engage a third-party service with expertise in cloud security. They can provide an unbiased view and have experience with a variety of cloud environments and security challenges.
The duration of the assessment can vary depending on the size and complexity of your cloud environment. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
