Cloud CIS benchmark review
Improve your cloud security posture with our cloud CIS benchmark review.
Why perform a cloud CIS benchmark review?
In today’s rapidly transforming cloud landscape, benchmarking and road mapping a secure and compliant cloud environment is crucial. The cloud CIS benchmark review offers a structured assessment aligned with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks, designed to identify internal risks, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps in your cloud infrastructure. Cognisys’ service provides the insights and expert guidance to secure your cloud environments, ensuring they meet industry best practices.
Five key elements
Define objectives
We collaborate with your IT team to define the goals of the cloud CIS benchmark review, focusing on specific security and compliance needs across your enabled AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud set-up. Whether you’re targeting particular controls or seeking a comprehensive assessment, we tailor our approach to your objectives.
Assess cloud environment usage
We identify which features, licenses and configurations are actively used in your cloud environment. This ensures that our assessment is focused on relevant areas and that the remediation advice aligns with your future goals and budget.
Access requirements
Our review process requires appropriate access permissions, typically read-only, to assess configurations without disrupting your operations. We ensure that all access is granted in a way that avoids conflicts with your existing authentication and device management policies.
Multi-cloud security evaluation
Our evaluation spans AWS, Azure, and GCP and covers identity and access management, network security, data protection, and compliance. We assess your cloud environments against the latest CIS benchmarks, identifying potential risks and areas for improvement.
Industry-specific focus
We understand that each industry has unique security challenges and compliance needs. Our review is customised to align with your sector’s specific regulatory requirements and threat landscapes, whether it’s finance, healthcare, or another industry.
