Cloud Configuration Assessment

Cyber Security

Your cloud configuration is not secure by default; it prioritizes usability over security. YieldDD's Cloud Configuration Assessment delivers an in-depth analysis of how your cloud environment is configured, its security risks, and how they may threaten you.

Why cloud configuration matters

If your system or application runs on a cloud platform - whether AWS, Azure, or GCP - its configuration is not secure by default. Security is not the main priority, and misconfigurations remain one of the most common and costly sources of cloud vulnerability.

A misconfigured cloud can raise concerns around data governance, scalability, and operational discipline. It exposes sensitive data, elevates user privileges, and leaves critical assets open to attack, all without a single line of code being compromised. These aren’t theoretical threats. They’re real issues that disrupt roadmaps, diminish value, and weaken trust. We help you uncover and address them.

High-impact mitigation with our assessment

YieldDD’s Cloud Configuration Assessment delivers an expert-led, in-depth analysis of your cloud environment, how it is configured, and how it could be exploited. It’s an essential layer of insight for digital-first businesses seeking to identify and mitigate material risks before they escalate.

Our Cloud Configuration Assessment combines automation with human expertise to ensure both breadth and depth of coverage:

Automated configuration scan - We run a comprehensive scan across your cloud environment using trusted tooling aligned to leading standards (CIS, NIST, OWASP). This rapidly identifies known misconfigurations and policy deviations.
Expert manual review - Our security specialists manually inspect high-impact areas, like IAM policies, storage access, and network exposure, interpreting scan results and uncovering context-specific issues that tools can miss.
Infrastructure as Code review - When your infrastructure is provisioned through code - Terraform, Bicep, or similar - we review these IaC templates directly. This allows us to trace risks back to their source and uncover hardcoded secrets, overly permissive roles, and insecure defaults before they’re deployed.

We don’t just report - we interpret and guide

We don't stop at identifying vulnerabilities. We go further, providing context, interpretation, and a clear path forward. Our final deliverables include:

Executive summary – Clear, concise, and designed for decision-makers.
Technical findings – Detailed breakdowns of each vulnerability, how they were discovered, and how they can be exploited.
Risk prioritization – Mapping issues to business impact with practical, risk-ranked recommendations.
Remediation guidance – Potential scenarios and advice tailored to your architecture and development practices.

You will be in the hands of our expert team based in the Netherlands. The security experts are certified, have strong communication skills, and can translate complex issues into practical, business-aligned decisions.

With YieldDD, security becomes more than a static audit. It becomes dynamic risk management, a lever for value.
