We help you build and maintain the Cloud deployment of your web application to ensure resilience and security
At Nexta Security, we understand that each organization has unique security challenges and requirements. Our cybersecurity solutions are customized to align with your business.
What is a Cloud Security Deployment
Our cloud deployment review assesses the security posture and the security controls of your application’s cloud environment, whether in AWS, Azure, or GCP, to identify configuration flaws and weaknesses. Our methodology leverages security industry standards, leading security frameworks, and decades of combined expertise.
The outcome of this process is a detailed report outlining findings and actionable recommendations to strengthen your application’s cloud deployment and reduce risk.
How we conduct a Cloud Security Assessment
We start by understanding your cloud environment, architecture, and business objectives. This includes identifying the scope (AWS, Azure, GCP), the applications or workloads deployed, and key compliance or security requirements (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS benchmarks, NIST CSF).
For example, our assessment typically covers the following areas:
- Inventory of cloud accounts, services, and regions
- Review of IAM structure and privileges
- Mapping of architecture diagrams and network topology
- Identification of critical assets and data flows
- Native cloud inventory tools
- Infrastructure-as-Code analysis tools
- Cloud-native discovery tools
- Auditing and Logging
When to perform a Cloud Security Assessment
Conducting a cloud security review during the application’s design phase is critical. Identifying and addressing deployment flaws early prevents the significantly higher cost and effort associated with remediating security weaknesses after development and deployment.
A cloud security review focuses on evaluating the security controls and configurations across your cloud deployment to ensure a strong security posture and compliance with relevant standards.
We recommend performing a cloud security assessment in the following scenarios:
- During the design phase or initial deployment of an application
- For existing business-critical applications
- As part of an application re-design or cloud migration
- When vulnerabilities have been identified in the environment
- To validate compliance with regulatory or industry standards
