Cloud Security Consulting Services

Cloud adoption without security architecture is a data breach waiting to happen. Misconfigured S3 buckets, overprivileged IAM roles, and unencrypted data stores account for the majority of cloud security incidents. Opsio's cloud security consultants assess, design, and implement security controls that protect your data without slowing your development teams.

What's Included

01

Cloud Security Assessment

Comprehensive evaluation of your cloud environment against CIS benchmarks, AWS Well-Architected security pillar, and regulatory frameworks. Automated scanning with Prowler, ScoutSuite, or Prisma Cloud combined with manual expert review of architecture, IAM policies, and network configurations.

02

IAM Hardening & Zero-Trust

Audit and remediation of IAM policies, roles, and permission boundaries. Implementation of least-privilege access, conditional access policies, MFA enforcement, service control policies (SCPs), and zero-trust network architecture with identity-based micro-segmentation.

03

Data Protection & Encryption

Design and implementation of encryption strategies using AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, or GCP Cloud KMS. Data classification frameworks, DLP policy enforcement, and secure key management practices aligned to regulatory requirements.

04

Security Guardrails & Policy-as-Code

Preventive controls embedded in Terraform modules, OPA/Gatekeeper policies, AWS Config rules, and Azure Policy assignments. Security violations blocked before deployment rather than detected after the fact.

05

SIEM & Threat Detection

Integration of cloud-native security services (GuardDuty, Defender for Cloud, Security Command Center) with SIEM platforms like Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, or Elastic for centralised threat detection and incident response across multi-cloud environments.

06

Compliance Mapping & Reporting

Automated compliance dashboards mapping your security controls to GDPR, NIS2, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA requirements. Continuous monitoring with drift alerting and audit-ready evidence packages generated on demand.

Secure Your Cloud With Expert Consulting

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.

Cloud Security Consulting Services — FAQ

What is cloud security consulting?

Cloud security consulting is a professional service that assesses, designs, and implements security controls for cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). It covers identity and access management, network security, data protection, compliance alignment, and threat detection. Opsio's consultants identify misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, then implement remediation as code so fixes are permanent and auditable.

How much does a cloud security assessment cost?

An Opsio cloud security assessment typically costs $10,000-$30,000 depending on the number of accounts, services, and compliance requirements. This includes automated scanning, manual architecture review, IAM audit, and a prioritised remediation plan. Full implementation of security controls ranges from $25,000-$75,000 depending on scope.

What frameworks do you assess against?

We assess against CIS Benchmarks (AWS, Azure, GCP), cloud provider Well-Architected frameworks, and regulatory standards including GDPR, NIS2, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA. Each finding maps to specific framework controls so you can demonstrate compliance to auditors and regulators.

What is the difference between cloud security and traditional security?

Cloud security focuses on the shared responsibility model — securing configurations, identities, APIs, and data in environments you do not physically control. Traditional security focuses on perimeter defence, physical access, and on-premises network security. Cloud environments change faster (infrastructure as code deploys in minutes), require identity-centric security (no network perimeter), and demand automation because manual processes cannot keep pace with the rate of change.

Can you secure multi-cloud environments?

Yes. Opsio secures hybrid and multi-cloud environments using cloud-agnostic tooling (Prisma Cloud, Wiz, or Orca) alongside native services. We implement consistent IAM policies, encryption standards, and compliance controls across all providers while respecting provider-specific architectures and services.
