# Cloud Security — geearr

> A cloud security assessment reviews how your AWS, Azure, GCP or Cloudflare accounts are configured — identity, exposure, data, secrets and logging — and traces the realistic paths an attacker would take. geearr turns that into a short, prioritized fix list instead of thousands of alerts.

**Cloud security without the 4,000-item findings list.**

Most cloud breaches are not zero-days; they are an over-privileged role, a public bucket, a leaked key or a forgotten environment. George reviews your cloud the way an attacker would traverse it — from the internet, from a compromised workload, from a leaked credential — and turns the result into a short, prioritized list your engineers can actually close.

## What gets tested

### Identity & access

- IAM privilege-escalation path analysis
- Least-privilege roles & permission boundaries
- Workload identity & key-less CI via OIDC federation
- Break-glass & root/owner account controls
- Cross-account & third-party trust review

### Exposure & data

- Public storage, snapshots & databases
- Security groups, WAF & edge configuration
- Secrets in env vars, images & state files
- Encryption, KMS key policies & rotation
- Backup integrity & restore testing

### Detection & architecture

- CloudTrail / Activity Log / audit-log coverage
- Alerts on the events attackers actually trigger
- Zero Trust access: Cloudflare One, IAP, Entra
- Edge & serverless security: Workers, Lambda, Functions
- IaC guardrails: Terraform, Pulumi

## What you get

1. Attack-path map from the internet and from a compromised workload
2. Prioritized findings mapped to CIS Benchmarks
3. Least-privilege IAM policies ready to apply
4. Logging & detection gap analysis with rule suggestions
5. Remediation pairing sessions with your platform team

## Standards

CIS Benchmarks · AWS Well-Architected (Security) · Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark · NIST CSF 2.0 · CSA Cloud Controls Matrix

## FAQ

### What does a cloud security assessment include?

A cloud security assessment reviews identity and access management, network exposure, data storage, secrets, encryption, logging and incident-detection coverage across your AWS, Azure, GCP or Cloudflare accounts. The goal is to identify realistic attack paths and fix the highest-impact misconfigurations first, not to produce thousands of low-value alerts.

### Which cloud platforms do you cover?

Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Cloudflare — including Workers, Pages, R2, D1, Zero Trust and WAF. Hybrid environments and SaaS platforms such as GitHub, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace are commonly included in scope.
