What's inside this engagement
Phase by phase.
How a cloud & identity assessment engagement runs, what happens in each phase and what you see. Exact scope, tier and timeline are fixed in your proposal and SOW.
01Scoping & read-only access
Accounts, subscriptions and tenants in scope, with read-only audit roles set up.
You see · Read-only access for the assessment.
02Configuration & identity review
IAM, network exposure, logging, encryption and workload configuration against CIS benchmarks and provider best practice.
You see · Nothing further.
03Attack-path analysis
Misconfigurations chained into realistic paths to sensitive data or admin control.
You see · The paths that matter, not just a list.
04Reporting & remediation plan
Prioritized findings with the exact configuration change, plus quick wins.
You see · A fix plan your platform team can run.
Commercials
From first call to final report.
- 01
Scoping call
A practitioner, not a salesperson, walks through targets, constraints and what a good outcome looks like for you.
- 02
Proposal & rules of engagement
A fixed-scope proposal with tier, price and deliverables. Rules of engagement, contacts and out-of-bounds systems are agreed in writing.
- 03
Sign, then start
MSA and SOW are signed electronically and the deposit is paid. Only then does testing begin.
- 04
Execution
Testing runs to the agreed plan. Critical findings are escalated as they are found; you don't wait for the report.
- 05
Report & debrief
An executive summary plus technical findings with evidence, reproduction steps and fixes, walked through with your team.
- 06
Retest
Where the tier includes it, we verify your fixes and reissue the report, so auditors and customers see the issues closed.
Timelines are set per engagement in the SOW.
