Description
VAPT – Cloud Only
By Sherlocked Security – Offensive Security & Cyber Risk Experts
Full Service Description
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) – Cloud Only is a specialized offensive security engagement focused exclusively on assessing the security posture of cloud environments, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS deployments.
Sherlocked Security delivers advanced, risk-driven Cloud VAPT services through the Make Audit Easy platform, evaluating public, private, and hybrid cloud infrastructures across major cloud providers.
Our testing approach aligns with internationally recognized frameworks and security standards, including:
-
National Institute of Standards and Technology SP 800-115
-
OWASP Cloud-related security testing principles
The engagement combines configuration analysis, automated security assessments, and controlled manual exploitation techniques to simulate real-world cloud attack scenarios.
We assess identity and access management (IAM) controls, privilege escalation paths, misconfigured storage services, exposed management interfaces, container security, serverless configurations, logging and monitoring gaps, and lateral movement within cloud environments.
All findings are validated to eliminate false positives and are risk-ranked based on real exploitability and business impact. Our objective is to identify practical attack paths and provide actionable remediation strategies aligned with cloud-native architectures.
The engagement concludes with a comprehensive technical report and executive summary, including proof-of-concept validation, risk prioritization, and a structured remediation roadmap for cloud, DevOps, and security teams.
