IT & Cloud Security Assessment — Audit, Benchmark, Remediate
You cannot protect what you do not understand. Most organisations have critical blind spots — misconfigured cloud resources, overly permissive IAM policies, unpatched systems, and disabled logging. Opsio's security assessment services reveal these gaps with CIS-benchmarked audits before attackers exploit them.

What is IT & Cloud Security Assessment?
A Security Assessment is a systematic evaluation of an organisation's IT infrastructure, cloud environments, and security controls against benchmarks like CIS and NIST, identifying vulnerabilities and delivering prioritised remediation recommendations.
Security Starts With Knowing Where You Stand
You cannot protect what you do not understand, and most organisations have significant blind spots in their security posture. Unpatched systems, misconfigured cloud resources, overly permissive access policies, disabled audit logging, and legacy systems with known vulnerabilities create an attack surface far larger than most security teams realise. A thorough IT security assessment reveals these gaps systematically — before attackers find them in your next breach. Opsio's security audit services cover your full attack surface: on-premises infrastructure, cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP, web applications, network architecture, identity systems, and security operations processes. We benchmark against CIS Controls, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, cloud provider Well-Architected Frameworks, and industry-specific requirements to produce a quantified, prioritised picture of your security maturity using established scoring methodologies.
Without regular security assessments, organisations accumulate configuration drift, orphaned accounts, shadow IT, and unmonitored attack surfaces that compound over time. A cloud environment that was secure at deployment degrades as teams make ad-hoc changes, new services are provisioned without security review, and compliance requirements evolve. The cost of a security assessment is a fraction of the cost of discovering your gaps through a breach.
Every Opsio security assessment includes automated scanning using CIS benchmark tools, manual expert review of architecture and configurations, stakeholder interviews covering security operations and incident response, compliance gap analysis against your specific regulatory requirements, a quantified maturity scorecard, and a prioritised remediation roadmap with effort estimates and business impact ratings for each finding.
Common security assessment challenges we solve: cloud environments that have never been audited against CIS benchmarks, organisations preparing for ISO 27001 certification or SOC 2 audit that need gap analysis, post-migration security validation confirming cloud environments are properly hardened, M&A due diligence requiring independent security evaluation, post-incident forensic investigation to determine root cause and prevent recurrence, and NIS2 compliance assessments for essential and important entities.
Following security assessment best practices, our engagement methodology combines automated tooling with expert manual review to catch both systematic configuration issues and architectural weaknesses that tools alone miss. We use CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, AWS Well-Architected, and cloud-native assessment tools selected for your environment. Whether you need a focused cloud security assessment, a full enterprise security audit, or incident forensics investigation, Opsio delivers actionable findings — not just a list of vulnerabilities. Wondering about security audit cost or scope? Our free scoping call defines exactly what you need.

What We Deliver
Infrastructure Security Audit
Comprehensive security audit of servers, network devices, endpoints, and security infrastructure. We evaluate patching levels, hardening configurations against CIS benchmarks, access controls, network segmentation, logging practices, backup verification, and physical security controls — producing findings with severity ratings and remediation effort estimates.
Cloud Security Assessment
Configuration review of AWS, Azure, and GCP environments against CIS Cloud Benchmarks using AWS Config, Azure Policy, and GCP SCC. We check IAM policies, network security groups, encryption settings, logging configuration, storage permissions, and service-specific configurations across all accounts and subscriptions.
Security Architecture Review
Holistic evaluation of your security architecture: network design and segmentation strategy, defense-in-depth layers, monitoring and detection coverage, incident response capabilities, security tool effectiveness, identity architecture, and data protection controls — identifying systemic weaknesses that individual component assessments miss.
Compliance Gap Analysis
Map your current security controls against specific compliance requirements — ISO 27001 Annex A, NIS2 Article 21, NIST CSF, SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria, PCI DSS, or HIPAA. Our gap analysis identifies exactly which controls are missing, partially implemented, or need improvement with prioritised remediation timelines.
Security Maturity Scoring
Benchmark your security programme against industry peers using NIST CSF maturity tiers or CMMC levels. Receive a detailed maturity scorecard across all domains — governance, identity, protection, detection, response, recovery — with a phased improvement roadmap and resource requirements per maturity level.
Digital Forensics & Investigation
When incidents occur, we provide forensic investigation services: evidence preservation following chain-of-custody procedures, disk and memory forensics, attack chain reconstruction, root cause determination, indicator of compromise extraction, and comprehensive documentation suitable for legal proceedings or regulatory reporting.
