Cloud Security Consulting Services

The shared responsibility model means cloud providers secure the infrastructure, but you secure everything you build on top of it — IAM policies, network configurations, encryption settings, application security, and data classification. Most organisations get this wrong. Research from Qualys found that 50% of cloud environments have at least one publicly exposed storage bucket, and Palo Alto's Unit 42 reports that the average cloud IAM policy grants 2.5x more permissions than needed. These misconfigurations are not theoretical risks — they are the attack vectors behind headline-making breaches. Opsio's cloud security consulting starts with a comprehensive assessment of your AWS, Azure, or GCP environment against CIS benchmarks, Well-Architected security pillars, and your regulatory requirements (GDPR, NIS2, SOC 2, ISO 27001). We identify misconfigurations, overprivileged identities, unencrypted data, and network exposure using tools like Prowler, ScoutSuite, Prisma Cloud, and native security services. Every finding is prioritised by risk score and mapped to a remediation plan with clear ownership and timelines.

Beyond assessment, we design and implement cloud security architectures — zero-trust networking with micro-segmentation, least-privilege IAM with permission boundaries, encryption-at-rest and in-transit policies, SIEM integration for threat detection, and security guardrails that prevent misconfigurations before they reach production. Our security-as-code approach embeds controls into Terraform modules and CI/CD pipelines, making security a developer enabler rather than a blocker.
