[00]CLOUD & SAAS SECURITY

Your cloud is only as secure as its configuration.

Cloud & SaaS Security for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Microsoft 365

Misconfigurations, excessive permissions, exposed storage, weak identity controls and unreviewed SaaS defaults account for the vast majority of cloud security incidents rather than exotic zero-day exploits. VULNSEE assesses and hardens cloud and SaaS environments for organizations across Europe, the US, the UK and Israel so that rapid delivery does not compromise security.

We concentrate on what real adversaries target: identities, configuration drift and exposed data. Then, we work directly with your engineering and IT teams to fix vulnerabilities in ways that fit your daily build and deployment rhythms.

Quick Answer: What Does a Cloud and Microsoft 365 Security Review Cover?

A cloud and Microsoft 365 security review evaluates identity and access management (IAM and Entra ID), MFA enforcement, Conditional Access, tenant sharing, workload configurations, cloud storage permissions, and audit logging. Aligned with CIS Benchmarks across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Microsoft 365, it identifies configuration drift and excessive permissions to secure environments against real-world adversary tactics.

[01]THE SHARED RESPONSIBILITY GAP

Your Cloud Provider Secures the Cloud. Securing What You Put in It Is Your Job.

Under the shared responsibility model, AWS, Microsoft and Google secure the physical infrastructure and virtualization layer. Identities, permissions, resource configurations, business data and SaaS application settings remain your direct responsibility, which is where real exposure almost always occurs:

QUESTION 01

Who has administrative access to our cloud and Microsoft 365 tenants, and is every admin protected by phishing-resistant MFA?

QUESTION 02

Is any storage, database or service publicly exposed by mistake?

QUESTION 03

Which identities and service accounts have far more permissions than they need?

QUESTION 04

Are logging and alerting enabled for the events that matter?

QUESTION 05

Which third-party apps have been granted access to our SaaS data?

Organizations typically engage us when:

The organization migrated to the cloud quickly and security did not keep pace.
Microsoft 365 and Entra ID were deployed with default settings.
A customer, auditor or insurer asks for evidence of cloud security controls.
Multiple cloud accounts, subscriptions or tenants have grown without central governance.
A cloud security tool (CSPM/CNAPP) produces hundreds of alerts with no clear priority.
An incident or near miss involved compromised cloud credentials or exposed data.
[02]WHAT WE ASSESS

Cloud and SaaS Security Areas

We assess your environment against real attack patterns and recognized baselines such as the CIS Benchmarks and cloud provider security best practices.

Microsoft 365 Security Hardening

Tenant settings, Exchange Online, SharePoint and Teams sharing, Defender policies, audit logging and external collaboration.

Entra ID & Identity Governance

Conditional Access, MFA strength, privileged roles, guest access, app consent and service principals.

AWS Security Review

IAM, Organizations and SCPs, S3 exposure, logging with CloudTrail, GuardDuty and Security Hub, and network boundaries.

Azure & Google Cloud Review

Subscriptions and projects, RBAC and IAM, network exposure, key management, logging and Defender for Cloud or Security Command Center.

Data Protection

Data classification, encryption, key management, backup, retention and data-loss prevention across cloud and SaaS.

SaaS Security Posture

Critical SaaS platforms, third-party OAuth integrations, admin access and configuration drift.

[03]IDENTITY FIRST

In the Cloud, Identity Is the New Perimeter

Attackers rarely breach modern cloud infrastructure from the outside; they simply log in with valid credentials. Phishing campaigns, stolen session tokens, push fatigue and malicious OAuth app consents provide entry, while over-privileged roles grant immediate lateral movement. We examine how identities are provisioned, authenticated, authorized and monitored across your cloud and SaaS estate. Then, we implement Conditional Access policies, just-in-time privileged access and strict least-privilege models that sharply reduce the blast radius of any compromised identity.

[04]HOW WE WORK

From Assessment to a Hardened, Governed Cloud

PHASE 1

Discover

Map accounts, subscriptions, tenants, identities, critical workloads and data.

Typical Outputs:
  • Cloud and SaaS inventory.
  • Scope and access plan.
PHASE 2

Assess

Review configuration, identity and data protection against attack patterns and CIS Benchmarks, using read-only access.

Typical Outputs:
  • Prioritized findings.
  • Identity risk report.
  • Posture score per domain.
PHASE 3

Harden

Work with your engineers to remediate priority findings and define secure baselines and guardrails.

Typical Outputs:
  • Hardening plan.
  • Baseline configurations.
  • Guardrail policies.
PHASE 4

Govern

Establish continuous posture monitoring, ownership and review cadence so security keeps pace with change.

Typical Outputs:
  • Cloud security standard.
  • Monitoring and alerting model.
  • Quarterly posture review.

Important qualification: Assessments use read-only access and are coordinated with your teams. Changes to production are made by your engineers, or by us only with explicit approval.

[06]OUTCOMES

What Changes After the Engagement

Public exposure and critical misconfigurations are found and closed.
Administrative access is minimized, protected and monitored.
Engineers have clear, secure baselines instead of ad hoc decisions.
Alerts from cloud security tools are prioritized by real risk.
Evidence of cloud controls is ready for ISO 27001, SOC 2 and customer reviews.
Security keeps pace with cloud growth through guardrails and regular posture reviews.
[07]WHO IT IS FOR

Who Is This Service For?

SaaS and technology companies running production on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
Organizations relying on Microsoft 365 and Entra ID for email, collaboration and identity.
Companies that migrated to the cloud quickly and need a security baseline.
Organizations with multiple accounts, subscriptions or tenants and limited central governance.
Companies preparing for ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA or customer security reviews.
Teams that own a CSPM or CNAPP tool but need help prioritizing and fixing findings.
