Assessment found the gaps. Now close them.
IAM re-architecture, security guardrails, and 24/7 CrowdStrike CSPM monitoring. A hardened cloud, not just a report.
Let's talk
The situation
You have a Cloud Security Assessment report. The gaps are documented. Now you need them closed.
The pattern
Most assessment vendors hand off the report and leave. Your cloud team adds the fixes to a backlog. Months pass. The misconfigurations stay open.
80% of cloud breaches are caused by misconfiguration, not by attackers outsmarting defences (Gartner, 2024).
$4.1M average cost of a cloud data breach (IBM Security, 2024).
What hardening changes
We implement the fixes directly. Critical misconfigurations sealed. Security guardrails deployed to prevent Shadow IT. IAM re-architected for zero-trust. 24/7 CrowdStrike CSPM monitoring activated.
Your cloud is protected long after the engagement ends.
What you will know
Every critical misconfiguration identified in the assessment is sealed.
Verified remediation with before-vs-after evidence for audit reporting.
IAM and permission policies re-architected for Least Privilege.
Over-privileged accounts eliminated. Zero-trust principles enforced across all cloud accounts.
Security guardrails deployed to block Shadow IT.
Automated policies preventing unauthorised resource provisioning.
24/7 CrowdStrike CSPM monitoring live in your environment.
Real-time threat detection and compliance visibility. Always on.
How it works
Assessment review
Align on findings from Phase 1 assessment. Confirm scope, access, and priority.
Remediation
Direct execution of critical fixes. IAM re-architecture. Least Privilege enforced.
Guardrails
Automated security policies deployed. Shadow IT blocked. Unauthorised provisioning prevented.
Monitoring
24/7 CrowdStrike CSPM configured live. Before-vs-after dashboard delivered. Sign-off.
Scope
What is included
Direct remediation of critical misconfigurations from the assessment.

24/7 CrowdStrike CSPM monitoring setup with real-time indicators of attack.
Hardening Completion Report with verified evidence of every mitigated risk.
Before-vs-after Executive Hardening Dashboard for board reporting.
Cloud Security Architecture Blueprint for future deployments.
What is not included
Initial assessment or discovery (that is Cloud Security Assessment).
Web application testing or remediation (see Web Security Hardening).
Application code review or redesign.
Endpoint monitoring (see Managed Vulnerability Assessment).

Common questions
Do we need the Cloud Security Assessment first?
Recommended. The assessment identifies and prioritises the gaps. If you have an equivalent posture report from another provider, we can work from that instead.
How much disruption should we expect?
We need write-access to staging and security environments, not production. Your cloud infrastructure leads approve every change. We document everything and reverse anything that does not perform as expected.
What happens after hardening is complete?
The 24/7 CrowdStrike CSPM monitoring stays active in your environment. For ongoing endpoint coverage, the Managed Vulnerability Assessment extends protection to your full fleet.
Do you cover multi-cloud?
Yes. AWS, Azure, and GCP hardened in one engagement. A single Architecture Blueprint standardises security across your entire cloud estate.
What comes next
Cloud Security Hardening pairs with the Managed Vulnerability Assessment (from EUR 4,999/month) for continuous endpoint monitoring after hardening is complete.
For web application coverage, the Web App Penetration Test (EUR 4,999-6,999) extends protection to the application layer.
No obligation to proceed beyond hardening. The engagement stands on its own.
Cloud Security Hardening: EUR 8,999-10,999
