SISA’s two-phased assessment helps a global provider of laboratory-specific software solutions achieve defence-in-depth security for cloud environment
Cloud and Container Security Testing
Secure your cloud and container infrastructure by uncovering hidden risks before they impact your business.
TABLE OF CONTENT
Why it matters
Cloud and container environments introduce speed and scale, but also new security risks across configurations, access controls, and deployments.
Cloud and container security testing helps organizations address these risks by:
Reducing exposure from misconfigurations:
Cloud services and container platforms often introduce configuration errors that attackers exploit.
Identifying excessive permissions and access risks:
Overly permissive identities and roles can allow attackers to escalate privileges.
Validating the security of containerized workloads:
Containers and orchestration platforms introduce new attack surfaces that require focused testing.
Strengthening visibility into cloud security posture:
Testing helps organizations understand how effectively their cloud controls protect workloads and data.
Our Approach
Four Types of Assessment Services
Our approach combines architecture review, attacker-driven testing, and impact validation to uncover security risks across cloud infrastructure and containerized workloads.
Review cloud architecture, container platforms, deployment models, and operational practices to identify critical assets, workloads, and trust boundaries.
Analyze identities, roles, permissions, exposed services, and integrations to identify potential escalation paths and access risks.
Simulate attacker techniques involving misconfigurations, insecure deployments, identity abuse, and container exploitation using controlled testing methods.
Assess how attackers could move across cloud resources, clusters, and workloads, and determine what systems, data, or infrastructure could be affected.
Deliver clear, evidence-backed findings with prioritized recommendations to strengthen cloud and container security posture.
Service Offerings
- Our cloud and container security services uncover vulnerabilities across cloud architecture, identities, and containerized workloads.
Cloud Security Assessments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Evaluate cloud configurations, exposed services, IAM permissions, network controls, and monitoring settings to identify misconfigurations and security gaps across cloud environments.
Kubernetes Security Testing
Assess Kubernetes clusters for configuration weaknesses, RBAC permission risks, insecure workload isolation, and exposure of sensitive data or infrastructure resources
HITRUST Re-certification: Helps maintain certification and ensure continuous compliance with HITRUST CSF requirements.
Container Image & Runtime Security Testing
Analyze container images, dependencies, and runtime environments to identify vulnerabilities, insecure permissions, and risks such as container escape or secret exposure.
Cloud Architecture & IAM Review
Review cloud architecture and identity design to identify excessive permissions, insecure trust relationships, and risks across cross-account and service-to-service access.
benefits
By identifying misconfigurations, access risks, and exploitable paths, organizations gain the visibility needed to strengthen cloud security.
Reduced risk of cloud-wide compromise
Stronger identity governance and least-privilege enforcement
Improved visibility into real attack paths
Stronger protection for containerized workloads and sensitive data
Greater confidence in cloud and container security posture
why sisa
Our approach goes beyond posture checks to simulate how attackers exploit cloud environments, identities, and container platforms in real-world scenarios.
Attacker-led cloud and container testing
Assess cloud environments and container platforms using real adversary techniques rather than relying only on configuration reviews.
Identity-first security analysis
Focus on IAM roles, permissions, and trust relationships where many cloud breaches originate.
Validation of real privilege escalation paths
Simulate how attackers could escalate privileges, abuse identities, and move laterally across cloud resources.
Context-aware testing aligned to cloud operations
Evaluate security controls based on how cloud environments actually operate, including DevOps workflows and service integrations.
Actionable remediation guidance for cloud-native environments
Provide practical recommendations that help teams strengthen cloud security without disrupting operations.
