Do you need access to our cloud account?

It depends on scope. We can test black-box from the outside, or grey/white-box with read-only or scoped access for deeper IAM and configuration testing.

How is this different from CSPM?

CSPM flags misconfigurations continuously; penetration testing proves whether they are actually exploitable by chaining them into real attack paths. The two are complementary.

Is retesting included?

Yes. Free unlimited retesting is included — once you remediate, we re-verify the affected resources at no extra cost.

Why Cloud Penetration Testing Is a Business Revenue Leverr

In the cloud, a single over-permissive IAM role or public storage bucket can expose your whole estate — and the shared-responsibility model means those misconfigurations are yours to fix. Treating cloud pentesting as a revenue enabler, not a compliance tax, prevents costly breaches, satisfies enterprise buyers and keeps your cloud spend secure.

Comparison matrix:

With an ImmuniWeb Cloud Pentest

Misconfigurations found before attackers or auditors do
Enterprise and cloud-marketplace deals clear faster
Predictable fixed fee with zero false positives to triage
Compliance evidence for PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR
One report across IAM, storage, compute and apps

Without Cloud Penetration Testing

Public buckets and over-permissive roles exposed in production
Deals stall in cloud security due diligence
Hidden cost of breach response, fines and churn
Failed audits and blocked market entry
Fragmented, tool-by-tool blind spots

Automated Cloud Scanning vs Manual Penetration Testing

	Automated Scanning	Manual Penetration Testing
Duration	Continuous configuration checks	A few days per environment or audit
Cost	Low, subscription-based	Higher, project-based fixed fee
Scope	Known misconfig signatures (CSPM)	Privilege escalation, lateral movement, real exploitation
Best For	Ongoing posture monitoring	Audits, compliance, sensitive or pre-launch environments
Report	Misconfiguration list	Validated attack paths with remediation guidance

Recommendation: Posture scanning (CSPM) is essential for continuous hygiene, but it only flags misconfigurations. Manual cloud penetration testing proves whether an attacker can actually chain them — escalating IAM privileges and moving laterally to your crown jewels. ImmuniWeb® On-Demand combines automated coverage with senior cloud testers.

Comprehensive Cloud Penetration Testing Scope

We test the customer-controlled cloud attack surface across AWS, Azure and GCP, covering four dimensions:

Identity & Access Management (IAM)

Over-permissive roles, policies and trust relationships
Privilege escalation and role-assumption paths
Weak MFA, exposed access keys and secrets
Least-privilege and segregation-of-duties review

Storage & Data Security

S3, Azure Blob and GCS exposure and ACL review
Encryption-at-rest and key-management review
Exposed databases and backups
Sensitive data leakage across services

Compute, Serverless & Containers

VM, EC2 and Azure VM configuration and SSH/RDP exposure
Serverless (Lambda, Azure/GCP Functions) abuse
Container and Kubernetes/ECS security
Cloud-native app, API and microservice testing

Network, Exposure & Standards

Security groups, network separation and public exposure
Open ports and routing misconfigurations
Lateral-movement and pivot testing
Alignment with CIS Benchmarks, PCI DSS and SANS Top 25

Cloud Penetration Testing Risk Areas

Identity & Access Management

We hunt over-permissive roles and privilege-escalation paths.

Public Storage Exposure

We check S3/Blob/GCS buckets for public access and weak ACLs.

Secrets & Key Management

We look for exposed keys, tokens and unencrypted secrets.

Serverless Abuse

We test functions for injection, abuse and over-privilege.

Container & Orchestration

We assess Kubernetes/ECS and image security.

Network Misconfiguration

We test security groups, exposed services and segmentation.

Lateral Movement

We attempt to pivot from one resource to your crown jewels.

Cloud-Native App & API Flaws

We test apps, APIs and microservices hosted in the CSP.

Logging & Detection Gaps

We assess whether cloud attacks are logged and detectable.

Compliance Drift

We map findings to CIS, PCI DSS, SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

The 6-Phase Cloud Pentest Workflow & Kill Chain

Scoping & Cloud Onboarding

We agree scope, accounts and read-only access where needed. Artifact: a scoping document and rules of engagement.

Phase 1

Phase 2

Asset Discovery & Reconnaissance

We map accounts, services, storage and exposed assets. Artifact: a cloud attack-surface inventory.

Configuration & Vulnerability Analysis

We assess IAM, storage and compute, validated by analysts. Artifact: a verified, false-positive-free findings shortlist.

Phase 3

Phase 4

Exploitation & Lateral Movement

Testers escalate privileges and pivot across resources. Artifact: documented attack paths with proof-of-concept.

Audit-Ready Reporting & Debrief

You receive a report plus a live technical debrief. Artifact: report mapped to CIS, PCI DSS and SOC 2.

Phase 5

Phase 6

Retesting & Compliance Certification

We re-verify fixes with free unlimited retesting. Artifact: a signed compliance / VAPT certificate.

Shift-Left Security: DevSecOps & CI/CD Pipeline Automation

Automated testing is built for the pipeline. Set policy thresholds and vulnerable builds are blocked from deployment automatically — no manual review, no merge of insecure code. ImmuniWeb plugs natively into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Jenkins, turning every pipeline into an automated security gate, so developers get fast, actionable feedback inside the tools they already use.

Industry-Specific Cloud Threat Modeling

Cloud risk is not one-size-fits-all. We tailor the threat model to your sector:

SaaS & Cloud-Native Platforms

Multi-tenant isolation and IAM testing to ensure one customer can never reach another's data across shared infrastructure.

FinTech & Regulated Cloud

Data-residency, encryption and segmentation testing aligned with PCI DSS, DORA and SOC 2.

Healthcare & Data-Heavy Workloads

PHI storage and access testing aligned with HIPAA and GDPR across cloud storage and databases.
