Get your AWS cloud environment covered by a comprehensive, risk-driven audit. We identify improper settings, loose access controls, and compliance holes in your infrastructure.

 

Quality Labs provides thorough auditing services that are not superficial. We will be evaluating your cloud architecture, access controls, data protection and security settings to confirm that your AWS environment has been configured to industry best practice and regulatory requirements.

AWS Security Audit Services

What Is an
AWS
Security Audit?

OVERVIEW

A Security Audit of AWS is a formal checkup of your environment of Amazon Web Services. It detects vulnerabilities about misconfigurations, ineffective access controls, unsecured networks and insufficient monitoring.  

 

In contrast to penetration testing that aims at testing the vulnerabilities, an audit looks at the level of security of your services configuration and regulation. It ensures compliance to AWS-recommended principles, reduces attack surfaces, and supports compliance.   This audit is critical in companies with dynamic and fast deployed cloud-based environments where security lapses can be easily ignored.  

Why AWS Environments Are High-Risk Without Regular Audits

AWS provides flexibility and scalability, however, it is quite common that mistakes are made due to human errors and rapid expansion. The absence of regular audits exposes the businesses to increased vulnerability to breaches, data leaks, and compliance breaches. 

Cloud Misconfigurations

AWS environments change rapidly, raising the misconfiguration risk. Super permissive IAM rights, unused credentials and MFA controls are not enforced, which leave serious loopholes that attackers take advantage of.  

Publicly Exposed Resources  

Lack of appropriate security groups, open ports, or shared storage service may accidentally make sensitive data and systems vulnerable to the internet, enhancing the risk of breach. 

Excessive Access & Privilege Creativity  

With the increase of teams and workloads, access permissions are amassed without a review. Privilege creep allows users and services to have access to more than is necessary which facilitates lateral movement when incidents occur.  

Lack of Visibility and Monitoring  

In the absence of centralized logging, round the clock monitoring and alerting, suspicious activity may remain unnoticed. Late impact hamper rapid response and increases the magnitude of impact.
