FAQs

Cloud infrastructure is a prime target for cyber criminals and should be tested regularly. We recommend annual or biannual testing to identify security flaws introduced by software updates, misconfigurations, or user errors.

Our tests can be conducted using ‘read-only’ accounts and non-intrusive methods, and even if the level of access given is beyond that, tests that can cause denial of service are forbidden, minimising disruption to your live environment. We coordinate testing around your schedule to ensure minimal impact on daily operations.

  • Small systems: 1-2 days
  • Medium systems: 3-6 days
  • Large systems or multiple tenancies/offices: 7+ days

Testing is customised to your specific environment, so these are general timeframes.

Cloud penetration tests are most effective when combined with web app testing and other security assessments. This holistic approach strengthens your security posture by addressing potential weaknesses across your environment.

We typically require global reader access or equivalent permissions. This ensures we can perform a thorough assessment without altering your configurations.

Absolutely. Our testing aligns with regulatory standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, helping you maintain compliance and secure your cloud environment.
