Businesses need to offer various technology solutions to multiple departments and locations while closely monitoring costs. Cloud-based solutions—covering everything from software (SaaS) to infrastructure (IaaS)—are scalable and economical, offering current technology in a pay-per-use framework that can also reach offices worldwide.
These solutions deliver significant benefits, however the benefits are not without risk. Moving essential services and data to the cloud increases exposure. It introduces vulnerabilities that must also be assessed with professional Cloud Security Assessment Services to ensure system security and compliance.
Our consultants have the experience to navigate the complexities of cloud security assessments. Unlike traditional infrastructure assessments, where your business controls all systems, cloud security assessments require coordination. Cloud service providers may have to provide audit information if service agreements prohibit direct testing of their systems. We know how to bridge the gap between internal and external testing, synthesize the data, and provide a comprehensive analysis of your cloud security.
Our Cloud Security Assessment Services methodology measures the effectiveness of current controls, identifies weaknesses, and delivers an actionable remediation plan. Accordingly, we evaluate the security of your cloud solutions—including Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Contact us to ensure that cloud flexibility doesn’t create vulnerability for your business.

Your organization already has security measures in place for your IT systems, but are you sure they are protecting your systems? The majority of security breaches take months — or even years — to discover. Even with security measures in place, your systems can harbor hidden vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
Business leaders hesitate to invest in governance because they think of it as an optional expense. IT leaders resist governance because they assume it will result in micromanagement. However, when properly designed and implemented, IT governance makes life easier for both sides.
IT risk is a major concern for any organization, public or private. To protect your data, your reputation, and your bottom line, you need an effective, dynamic IT risk management strategy.
