Cloud Penetration Testing
AWS, Azure, and GCP testing — misconfigurations, identity, and privilege-escalation paths.
Cloud penetration testing assesses AWS, Azure, and GCP environments for the misconfigurations, over-permissioned identities, and privilege-escalation paths that lead to data exposure — tested manually against your real architecture.
Cloud and security teams reviewing a defined AWS, Azure or GCP environment.
What to bring to scoping
- ✓Agree accounts, projects, tenants and permitted testing methods.
- ✓Provide the authorized access model and identify systems excluded from testing.
Where attackers get in — and where we look.
IAM & privilege escalation
Public exposure & storage
Network & segmentation
Secrets & key management
Serverless & workload identity
An evidence-driven methodology.
Scope & recon
We agree objectives and rules of engagement, then map what you actually expose.
Map the attack surface
Enumerate entry points, roles, and trust boundaries a real attacker would target.
Manual exploitation
Certified testers exploit flaws by hand — chaining issues scanners never connect.
Prove impact
Findings ship with supporting evidence and business context.
Report & retest
Risk-ranked reporting with remediation guidance; retests under agreed terms.
Evidence you can act on.
Assessment of the agreed cloud scope and trust boundaries.
Risk-ranked findings with configuration or reproduction evidence.
Remediation guidance and agreed reporting/retests.
Start with a scoped cloud assessment; recurring changes can inform an agreed PTaaS cadence.
Discuss this scopeMake it a program.
Pair this test with a program that extends testing between engagements.
PTaaS
Manage scoped penetration testing, QA-reviewed findings, reports, remediation and retests in TrekShield’s platform.
Attack Surface Management
Build an inventory of authorized external assets, review exposure changes and prioritize investigation with TrekShield’s ASM product.
Compliance Penetration Testing
Evidence-ready testing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and more.
Cloud Penetration Testing — questions buyers ask.
Which cloud providers do you test?
AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, including IAM, storage, networking, serverless, and workload identity.
Is this a configuration review or a real test?
Both — we review configuration and then exploit privilege-escalation and lateral-movement paths to prove what an attacker could actually reach.
Do you need the cloud provider’s approval?
Major providers no longer require pre-approval for most customer-owned resources, but we confirm scope and any provider rules before testing.
Prove what an attacker could actually do.
A short scoping call, no obligation.
