Cloud Risk Management
Cloud flexibility needs strong security controls.
Cloud environments can expand quickly across accounts, subscriptions, workloads, identities and services. Misconfigurations, excessive permissions and inconsistent security practices can create unnecessary exposure.
Petabyte's cloud security management approach helps organisations assess cloud security risks, review configuration and access controls, improve monitoring visibility and establish practical remediation priorities.
Secure the cloud without losing sight of the business.
Security controls should reflect your cloud architecture, operational responsibilities, data sensitivity and applicable compliance requirements.
Identify Misconfigurations
Review supported cloud resources and configurations to identify potential weaknesses and prioritise remediation.
Strengthen Identity Security
Assess permissions, privileged access and identity controls to help reduce unnecessary access and exposure.
Protect Cloud Data
Review relevant storage permissions, encryption settings and data access controls against agreed requirements.
Improve Security Governance
Establish security baselines, ownership and review processes to support consistent cloud risk management.
Cloud Security Capabilities
Security across your cloud environment.
Address the configuration, identity, workload, data and monitoring requirements that shape your cloud security posture.
Identity & Access Management
Assess permissions, privileged accounts, role assignments and access practices to help reduce excessive privileges.
Cloud Workload Security
Review security considerations for supported virtual machines, containers and cloud-hosted workloads within the agreed scope.
Cloud Data Protection
Evaluate relevant storage access, encryption configurations and data protection controls against defined requirements.
Cloud Network Security
Review network exposure, security groups, firewall policies and connectivity controls to identify potential access risks.
Logging & Threat Visibility
Assess available audit logs, security alerts and monitoring coverage to improve investigation readiness and visibility.
Cloud Security Lifecycle
From assessment to continuous improvement.
A structured lifecycle helps your organisation understand cloud risks, assign remediation ownership and maintain security controls as the environment changes.
Discover & Assess
Understand the in-scope cloud assets, architecture, access model and existing security controls.
Identify & Prioritise
Evaluate findings based on exposure, business impact, configuration weaknesses and agreed risk criteria.
Remediate & Validate
Coordinate corrective actions with the responsible teams and validate changes within the agreed scope.
Monitor & Improve
Review relevant changes, reassess controls and refine security practices as cloud requirements evolve.
Security Coverage
Protect the cloud security foundations.
Coverage is defined by your cloud provider, service architecture, integrations, available permissions and agreed engagement scope.
Configuration & Governance
Assess cloud configuration practices and governance controls to help reduce exposure and improve consistency across supported resources.
Identity & Data Protection
Review access pathways and relevant data protection settings to support least-privilege access and appropriate safeguards.
Network & Workload Security
Evaluate relevant connectivity controls and workload configurations to identify potentially unnecessary exposure.
Logging & Compliance Support
Review security logging, monitoring coverage and control evidence against the standards and requirements applicable to your organisation.
Engagement Process
A practical route to stronger cloud security.
Start with your environment and priorities, then build a focused plan for assessment, remediation and ongoing review.
Assess the Environment
Review the cloud architecture, in-scope accounts, resources, business requirements and existing controls.
Define Scope & Priorities
Agree on assessment coverage, access permissions, risk criteria, responsibilities and expected deliverables.
Review & Remediate
Evaluate relevant configurations and controls, document findings and coordinate agreed corrective actions.
Validate & Report
Review remediation outcomes, document residual risks and identify practical opportunities for improvement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Understand cloud security.
Learn how cloud security management helps protect configurations, identities, workloads and data.
Discuss Your Requirements →What is cloud security management?
Cloud security management involves assessing, implementing and reviewing controls that protect cloud infrastructure, identities, workloads, networks and data. It includes configuration reviews, access management, monitoring and remediation planning according to the agreed scope.
Which cloud platforms can be assessed?
Coverage depends on the cloud providers and services in use, available access permissions, supported assessment methods and agreed engagement scope. Confirm platform compatibility during the initial assessment.
What is a cloud security misconfiguration?
A misconfiguration is a cloud setting that may create unnecessary security exposure, such as overly permissive access, unintended public availability or insufficient logging. The significance of each finding depends on the resource, context and potential business impact.
How does cloud security management reduce risk?
It helps identify weaknesses in configuration, access, network exposure and monitoring, then supports prioritised remediation and validation. Risk reduction depends on the findings, the corrective actions implemented and the ongoing effectiveness of controls.
Is cloud security the cloud provider's responsibility?
Cloud security generally follows a shared-responsibility model. The provider is responsible for certain underlying services and infrastructure, while customers retain responsibility for areas such as identities, data, configurations and workloads depending on the service model. Exact responsibilities vary by provider and service.
Can cloud security management support compliance?
It can help assess relevant controls, improve evidence collection and identify gaps against applicable requirements. Compliance outcomes depend on the specific standard, scope, evidence and wider governance arrangements; a cloud security review alone does not guarantee compliance.
How often should cloud security be reviewed?
Review frequency depends on the sensitivity of the environment, rate of change, risk profile and applicable obligations. Reviews may be scheduled periodically and after significant architecture, identity, workload or policy changes.
