Cloud security posture: find and fix misconfigurations across AWS, Azure and GCP

SEYA Group's cloud security posture work finds misconfigurations in the AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud accounts you name, ranks them, and helps your team fix the ones that matter. The review covers identity, network paths, data exposure, and logging. It can be a point-in-time assessment or a repeating check. It is not a certification, and it is not a 24-hour monitoring service.

Who this is for

Heads of infrastructure and security architects who have more than one account or subscription and no single list of what is exposed. Teams preparing for a customer security review or an audit who need the gaps written down before an assessor arrives. Platform teams who already use Terraform and want the same review expressed as policy they can run on every change.

What you get

• A benchmarked review. Findings mapped to the relevant CIS Benchmarks for the cloud in scope, plus the checks your own standard already requires. CIS is a published baseline we measure against. SEYA does not issue a CIS certification.
• Identity. Who can assume privileged roles, which keys and service principals are still active, and where a person or a pipeline has more access than the job needs.
• Network and data. Public endpoints, open security groups or firewall rules, storage that is reachable more widely than the design says, and encryption settings that do not match the account standard.
• Logging. Whether the audit logs exist, where they go, and who can delete them. A control that is not logged cannot be shown later.
• A fix list. Ordered by exposure, with an owner on your side. Where you want the fixes encoded, we write them as Terraform or policy checks your pipeline can run. That build sits with DevSecOps.

How an engagement runs

• Point-in-time. Read-only access to the accounts in scope, a written findings list, and a readout. This is the right start when you do not yet trust the picture.
• Continuous. The same checks expressed as policy that runs when infrastructure code changes, plus a cadence for reviewing exceptions. Continuous does not mean SEYA watches the console overnight. Your pipeline and your team run the checks.
• Tools. We use the cloud provider's own security services and, where you already have one, your CSPM product. SEYA does not require you to buy a tool from us. The deliverable is the findings and the fixes, not a licence.

What you need in place

Account access that can read configuration, a named owner for exceptions, and agreement on which accounts are in scope. Identity-heavy findings often continue as a zero trust roadmap. Evidence you will hand an auditor continues as SOC 2 readiness. The posture review itself stops at findings and agreed fixes.

A published example of this kind of foundation work is LiveRamp's first Google Cloud environment: shared VPC networking, separated GKE control planes, split environments, and granular IAM. That engagement designed the foundation. It was not a CIS attestation.

Questions buyers ask

Is a posture review the same as a penetration test?

No. A posture review reads configuration: identity, network, data, and logging. A penetration test tries to exploit a running system. We will say in the scope note which of the two you are buying. This page is the configuration review.

Do you cover AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud in one review?

Yes, when those accounts are in scope. Each cloud is reviewed against its own CIS Benchmark and your standard. Findings are not averaged into a single score that hides a bad account.

Will you say we passed?

We will say which checks matched the benchmark and which did not, on the date of the review. We will not say the estate is certified, and a later change can reopen a finding. Continuous checks exist so the next change does not wait for the next annual review.
