Sometimes you need a thorough, benchmark-driven audit rather than active exploitation. We evaluate your AWS, Azure and GCP environments against CIS benchmarks and least-privilege principles, giving Cyprus businesses a clear posture assessment.
You receive a single prioritised, plain-language remediation plan across all your clouds.
We approach cloud configuration review from the attacker's side of the keyboard, prioritising exploitable risk over long lists of theoretical issues. We map your real environment, not a generic template, then test every path where trust is granted and every place where controls could be bypassed.
The result is clarity: a prioritised, exploitable-risk view of your cloud configuration review that your team can act on immediately, backed by proof rather than a scanner's guesswork.
The businesses that rely on us understand that untested systems are unquantified risk. A weakness that reaches customer or financial data can trigger a GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001 obligation, damage hard-won client trust, and stall deals while security questionnaires go unanswered. Our cloud configuration review exists to remove that uncertainty before an attacker — or an auditor — finds the gap first.
By proving exactly what is exploitable and what it would cost, we turn a vague worry into a concrete, fundable remediation plan. Cyprus firms use our reports to close real gaps, satisfy CySEC, GDPR and NIS2 expectations, and demonstrate genuine due diligence to clients, partners and insurers — with a free retest to prove the fixes hold.

How we run your engagement
Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your cloud configuration review is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.
Tools & techniques
In practice, your cloud configuration review focuses on cis benchmark configuration gaps, iam hygiene & over-privileged access and public exposure of storage & services and the ways they can be chained together.
We assess your cloud the way an attacker with a foothold would. Automated collectors such as ScoutSuite and Prowler give broad configuration coverage against the CIS Benchmarks, but the real value is in manually chaining identity and access weaknesses — over-permissive IAM roles, exposed metadata endpoints, and privilege-escalation paths — into concrete impact. We test control-plane and workload security, not just a checklist of settings.
Findings are mapped to the specific service and account so your engineers can fix them in Terraform or the console immediately. Where a misconfiguration allows privilege escalation or cross-account access, we prove the path safely and document the blast radius.
When you need this engagement
You are deploying, changing or relying on systems where cis benchmark configuration gaps would be business-critical
Your platform stores EU customer or payment data subject to GDPR
You need to validate IAM, network and workload configuration against best practice
A client or auditor requires independent assurance of your cloud security
You run containers or Kubernetes and are unsure how an escape or misconfig would play out
What you receive
Posture assessment across accounts
Prioritized misconfiguration findings
Benchmark compliance gap analysis
Re-review of applied fixes
Your deliverables
When your cloud configuration review wraps up, you receive a clear, audit-ready report plus a walkthrough call with your team. Inside you will find:
A concise executive summary that management and the board can act on
Every technical finding with a reproducible, copy-paste proof of concept
CVSS v3.1 ratings and plain-language business impact for each issue
Practical, prioritised remediation your developers can implement straight away
A free retest and updated finding status once fixes are in place
A signed attestation letter for clients, auditors, GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001
By the end of your cloud configuration review, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.
Working with us
Every cloud configuration review begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.

How much does Cloud Configuration Review cost?
Every cloud configuration review in Cyprus is scoped and priced individually, so you pay only for the coverage you need — with no hidden extras. After a short, no-obligation scoping call we send a fixed-price quote, usually within one business day, with clear deliverables, a firm timeline and a complimentary retest included. The price depends on the size and complexity of your environment, so you always know the cost up front before any work begins.
