What is Cloud & Container Penetration Testing?
This penetration testing evaluates the security of your cloud platforms and containerised environments, assessing how they are configured, deployed, and managed.
Testing identifies vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, uncovering risks that could expose data, enable privilege escalation, or disrupt operations.

Our services
Cloud Assessments
Comprehensive review of your AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud (GCP) environment to uncover vulnerabilities and technical misconfigurations across your cloud-based services.
Productivity Suite Reviews
Assessment of your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment to identify security gaps and ensure alignment with best practices.
Container Security Reviews
Evaluation of your containers, runtimes, and orchestration platforms, including Docker and Kubernetes, to surface weaknesses and confirm best-practice alignment.
Methodology
We ensure testing has both depth and breadth by aligning with recognised methodologies such as CREST, OSSTMM, OWASP, and NIST.
This ensures a structured, consistent approach grounded in best practice and real-world threat intelligence.
We follow a clear seven-step process designed to deliver rigorous testing, meaningful insight, and practical remediation guidance at every stage.
We listen to your needs and develop a tailored project strategy, producing a scope that meets your unique requirements.
Where vulnerabilities are successfully exploited, our consultants assess their severity by determining which assets and networks can be accessed and what data may be exposed. Vulnerabilities are then ranked from low to critical within GuardNest.
We scan and enumerate the defined targets to identify existing vulnerabilities. This includes listening for open ports, identifying running services, and developing an attack plan based on the scan results.
Our consultants assess how deeply they can access your systems using leading industry techniques, custom-built tools, and their first-hand experience.
If a consultant successfully exploits a vulnerability, they assess its severity. This involves determining which assets and networks can be accessed and how much information can be gathered. Your vulnerabilities are then ranked from low to critical in GuardNest.
We publish the findings in a report on GuardNest, organised by category and type, with remediation advice for each exploit and vulnerability. On request, we also arrange debrief calls to review identified risks in detail and discuss remediation.
Your GuardNest licence includes continuous external infrastructure scanning to minimise risk between tests. We also offer a remediation check service, and every engagement includes a full consultative approach to ensure ongoing support even after the project is complete.
