80% of cloud breaches are misconfigurations.
CrowdStrike CSPM audit of your AWS, Azure, or GCP environment against CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, and SOC 2. Every misconfiguration scored and prioritised.
Let's talk
The situation
Your cloud grows fast. Misconfigurations grow faster. Most breaches are not sophisticated attacks. They are open doors nobody checked.
The numbers
80% of cloud breaches caused by misconfiguration (Gartner, 2024).
$4.1M average cost of a cloud data breach (IBM Security, 2024).
99% of cloud security failures will be the customer's fault (Gartner, 2025).
3x more likely SMEs are targeted if cloud is unprotected (Verizon DBIR, 2024).
Who is exposed
Scale-ups building cloud environments for speed, not security. Multi-cloud organisations with configuration drift across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Regulated industries needing PCI DSS, SOC 2, and NIS2 evidence.
What you will know
Every misconfiguration across your cloud estate, scored and prioritised by business impact.
IAM roles, permissions, over-privileged accounts, and public resource exposure mapped.
Network security gaps: open management ports, security group misconfigurations, VPC exposure.
Unencrypted data at rest and in transit, public storage buckets, exposed database endpoints.
Active indicators of attack, Shadow IT resources, and unmanaged assets.
Compliance mapping against CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 with audit-ready evidence.
A prioritised Hardening Roadmap: what to fix first.
Board-ready Security Posture Report and executive debrief.
How it works
Discovery
Cloud accounts scoped. Read-only access provisioned. CrowdStrike CSPM configured.
Scanning
Automated CrowdStrike scan across all accounts. Every misconfiguration scored by CVSS and business impact.
Reporting
Security Posture Report delivered. Hardening Roadmap agreed with client. Executive debrief with cloud leads.
Scope
What is included
Real-time discovery of all cloud assets across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Automated CrowdStrike CSPM audit against CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, and SOC 2.
IAM and access control review: roles, permissions, over-privileged accounts.
Network security audit: open ports, security groups, VPC exposure.
Data protection check: encryption, public storage, exposed endpoints.
Security Posture Report with prioritised Hardening Roadmap.
Executive debrief with findings walkthrough.
What is not included
Active remediation or fix implementation (that is Cloud Security Hardening).
Web application testing (see Web App Penetration Test).
Ongoing monitoring setup (see Managed Vulnerability Assessment).
Application code review or architecture redesign.
Who does the work
Gradion Cybersecurity Practice
Delivered by specialist Red Team (offensive) and Blue Team (defensive) practitioners. Senior security engineers with production experience in regulated industries.
CrowdStrike partnership for CSPM, FEM, and endpoint security tooling.
Why Gradion
CrowdStrike CSPM: enterprise-grade visibility
We use CrowdStrike Falcon CSPM and CIEM to discover misconfigurations, score IAM risk, and map compliance gaps across every cloud account. Not open-source scanners.
Compliance evidence, built in
CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 audit-ready evidence delivered as standard. No additional work required from your team.
Assessment stands alone or feeds into hardening
Modular engagement. Use the report independently for compliance, or proceed directly to Cloud Security Hardening to seal the gaps.
Cloud Security Assessment
Fixed price. No surprises.
Standard
CrowdStrike CSPM audit per cloud org unit. 3-5 days. Read-only access.
- Full cloud asset discovery (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- CrowdStrike CSPM automated scanning
- IAM and access control review
- Network and data protection audit
- CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, SOC 2 compliance mapping
- Security Posture Report and Hardening Roadmap
Common questions
We already use AWS Security Hub. Do we still need this?
Native cloud tools alert on known patterns but do not audit your posture against CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, or SOC 2 benchmarks. They also do not fix what they find. This assessment gives you an independent, compliance-mapped view of your risk.
We do not have time for a long security engagement.
The assessment requires only read-only access and takes 3-5 days. Your team is involved at kickoff and the final debrief. No code changes, no production access, no disruption.
Can our internal team handle cloud security?
Most cloud breaches are not caused by a lack of internal talent. They are caused by misconfiguration that accumulates faster than any team can track. We provide an independent audit using CrowdStrike CSPM, giving assurance your team alone cannot self-certify.
Do you cover multi-cloud environments?
Yes. AWS, Azure, and GCP covered in one engagement. A single Posture Report and Roadmap across your full cloud estate.
What comes next
Assessment findings feed directly into Cloud Security Hardening (EUR 8,999-10,999). We seal the gaps, deploy security guardrails, and activate 24/7 CSPM monitoring.
For web application coverage, pair with the Web App Penetration Test (EUR 4,999-6,999) to cover your full attack surface.
No obligation to proceed. The assessment report stands on its own.
