Cloud Security

Misconfigurations in AWS, GCP, or Azure are easy to miss, and they're often the first thing enterprise buyers ask about and attackers look for.

We audit your cloud setup, identify the gaps, and help you fix them before they become a problem in a security review, or somewhere worse.

How Cloud Security works with Adversis

We review your cloud infrastructure for security gaps (permissions, network configuration, storage settings, CI/CD pipelines) and deliver prioritized recommendations your team can act on.

What's included

  1. 1. Role trust policies and privilege escalation paths
  2. 2. Service account sprawl and orphaned credentials
  3. 3. The secrets your team hardcoded in Lambda environment variables
  4. 4. Public bucket exposure
  5. 5. CloudTrail gaps that will fail your SOC 2 audit
  6. 6. Tailscale ACL gaps

02Is this you?

Who it's for

Engineering teams running production workloads in the cloud who need confidence their setup is sound, or proof for an auditor.

Your prospect sent a security questionnaire with cloud architecture questions. Your SOC 2 auditor wants evidence of access reviews. Your CTO is spending 25% of their time on security instead of product.

The outcome

A hardened cloud environment and documentation that shows enterprise buyers you take infrastructure seriously.

Case study

Piedmont Capital partnered with Adversis to protect client information, satisfy SEC and FTC cybersecurity requirements, and optimize their technology spend, gaining validated controls, clear policies, and hands-on remediation support without costly hardware upgrades.

Challenge
Piedmont Capital needed to protect client information and finances while meeting SEC and FTC cybersecurity requirements. As a smaller firm without dedicated security staff, they wanted assurance that their technology investments were delivering real protection, and clarity on whether they were spending wisely for business resilience.
Solution
Adversis conducted a security risk assessment examining business, technical, and procedural risks beyond baseline regulatory requirements. When gaps were identified, the team represented Piedmont's interests with vendors, implemented secure configurations directly where needed, and optimized existing security technology to deliver better protection without expensive hardware upgrades.
Result
100%Regulatory compliance achieved with all identified issues remediated, existing technology fully utilized, and a response plan the team can execute with confidence.

FAQ

Straight answers to what teams usually ask us before we start. If yours isn't here, ask us directly.

  • Mostly B2B SaaS companies, typically Series A or B, with a small security team or none at all. The common thread: enterprise buyers are asking hard security questions, and the team needs help answering them.

  • Keep using them. They're great at automating evidence collection and getting you through your SOC 2 audit. We pick up where they stop: the live security call with your prospect's team, the custom questionnaire questions that fall outside your audit scope, and pen testing that holds up when a buyer's security team actually reads the report. Instead of your CTO spending weeks figuring out what enterprise buyers expect and how to talk about your security posture, you hand it to us. Compliance platforms get you the certificate. We get you through the security review.

  • Yes. But we'll probably ask what's driving the need, because a pen test is often part of a bigger picture (a deal in motion, a compliance requirement, a buyer's security review). If you genuinely just need a clean report, we can do that, validation and retesting included. If there's more to untangle, we'll tell you.

  • Yes, and we can get on calls with your buyer's security team when needed. We've been on the other side of those calls, running vendor evaluations. We know what they're actually trying to learn and how to answer in a way that builds confidence. We've also been on both sides of a breach and can justify when controls make a difference.

  • Most engagements kick off within 2-3 weeks. If you have a deal on the line and need to move faster, tell us. We'll see what we can do.

  • Both. Some clients need a pen test or SOC 2 sprint and we're done. Others want a retained advisor they can pull in for security reviews, architecture questions, or board prep. We structure it around what you actually need.

  • It depends on scope, but most companies spend less on a full engagement than they lose in delays. A pen test or gap analysis starts in the low five figures. A broader security story or compliance push scales from there based on what you actually need.

  • That's most of our clients. We act as your security bench: fractional expertise you can tap without hiring a full team. When you're ready to build internally, we can help with that transition too.

Whether it's a questionnaire, a certification, or a pen test, we'll scope what you actually need.
