Shared Responsibility Model
Cloud environments scale fast — but security controls often don’t. Healthcare and medical technology organizations increasingly rely on AWS, Azure, and other cloud platforms to host applications, store sensitive data, and support customer integrations.
In a shared responsibility model, the cloud provider secures the infrastructure — you are responsible for securing your configuration. Cloud Security Testing from Cyber Security Resource identifies misconfigurations, access control weaknesses, and exploitable exposure points within your cloud environment before attackers, auditors, or enterprise customers do.
Cloud breaches rarely happen because the provider was compromised. They happen because of misconfiguration, excessive permissions, and invisible exposure that only specialized testing reveals.
Compliance Alignment
Supports audit and
enterprise contract requirements.
1/3
HIPAA Security Rule
Cloud Security Testing supports HIPAA Security Rule requirements for organizations storing or processing PHI in AWS, Azure, or hybrid cloud environments.
2/3
HITRUST & Enterprise
HITRUST CSF and enterprise customer requirements increasingly require documented validation of cloud configuration security and access controls.
3/3
Enterprise & Insurance
Enterprise healthcare customer security reviews and cyber insurance mandates often require demonstration of secure cloud architecture before contract execution
Test Coverage
Five domains of
cloud security posture
Our assessment evaluates your cloud security posture across key domains.
Testing can be performed against AWS, Azure, and hybrid cloud environments.
Identity & Access Management (IAM)
- Role and permission review
- Privilege escalation pathways
- Excessive access rights
- Key and credential exposure risks
Network Security Configuration
- Security group and firewall analysis
- Public exposure validation
- Segmentation effectiveness
- Load balancer and endpoint configuration review
Storage & Data Protection
- Publicly accessible storage detection
- Encryption validation (at rest and in transit)
- Backup configuration review
- Data exposure risks
Logging & Monitoring
- CloudTrail / activity logging configuration
- Alerting effectiveness
- Detection capability gaps
Infrastructure as Code Review
- Terraform / CloudFormation review
- Hardening baseline alignment
- Configuration drift detection
Unique Cloud Risk
Misconfiguration — not provider compromise
Cloud breaches rarely happen because the provider was compromised. They happen because of:
- Overly permissive IAM roles
- Publicly exposed storage buckets
- Insecure security group configurations
- Open management ports
- Weak API permissions
- Inadequate logging and monitoring
- Poor network segmentation
Who This Is For
Ideal for regulated organizations at scale
If your infrastructure lives in the cloud, testing configuration security is essential.
- Healthcare SaaS companies hosted in AWS or Azure
- Medical device companies with cloud-connected platforms
- Organizations storing PHI in cloud environments
- Companies onboarding enterprise healthcare customers
- Teams preparing for HIPAA or HITRUST audits
- Organizations that have grown rapidly in the cloud
Deliverables
What you receive
at engagement close
✔ Executive summary report
✔ Risk-rated configuration weaknesses
✔ Prioritized remediation roadmap
✔ Detailed technical findings
✔ Identification of exploitable cloud exposure
✔ Technical debrief session
Why Configuration Validation Matters
Dynamic environments need structured validation
✔ Cloud environments are dynamic — new services deploy, permissions change, integrations expand
✔ Respects the shared responsibility model
✔ Not just theoretical compliance
✔ Without structured validation, risk accumulates quietly
✔ Controlled, professional evaluation of real exposure
✔ Methodology designed to avoid service disruption
Invisible Exposure
These risks are often
invisible without testing.
Without structured cloud security validation:
✔ Misconfigurations accumulate as environments scale
✔ New services deploy without security review
✔ Permissions change without oversight
✔ Integrations expand attack surface quietly
✔ Auditors and customers discover gaps before you do
Our Approach
Seven steps to cloud security
STEP 1
Define scope and cloud accounts in scope
STEP 2
Conduct configuration and permission review
STEP 3
Validate exposure through controlled testing
STEP 4
Identify privilege escalation pathways
STEP 5
Assess logging and monitoring posture
STEP 6
Deliver comprehensive risk report
STEP 7
Conduct executive and technical review session
Our methodology respects the shared
responsibility model and avoids service disruption.
Configuration vs. Compliance
Theoretical compliance
is not real exposure testing.
Compliance checklists confirm policies exist.
Cloud Security Testing validates whether your AWS or Azure configuration actually exposes data, enables privilege escalation, or leaves storage publicly accessible.
If your organization relies on cloud infrastructure to operate or store sensitive healthcare data,
Cloud Security Testing provides the clarity and validation you need.
