DigitalXRAID’s CREST certified cloud penetration testing services help to uncover misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Cloud Pen Testing: More Than Just Perimeter Security
Migrating to the cloud doesn’t eliminate risk; it changes it. Misconfigured storage buckets, exposed APIs, and insecure identity setups are just some of the ways attackers can exploit cloud platforms.
Overlooking these cloud-specific risks can leave your businesses vulnerable to breaches, data leaks, and compliance violations.
Add multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and shared responsibility models, and you’ve got a security challenge that demands specialist expertise.

FAQs: Cloud Penetration Testing
Yes, cloud providers secure the infrastructure, but you’re responsible for securing how it’s configured and used. Cloud pen testing helps validate your security posture and highlight risks you’re still accountable for.
Both standards expect regular security testing, and for cloud environments, that includes specific testing of cloud configurations, access controls, and hosted assets.
Traditional pen tests focus on on-premise assets, while cloud testing assesses misconfigurations, exposed APIs, identity management, and storage issues specific to AWS, Azure, GCP, and other platforms.
Yes, all testing is scoped carefully to avoid operational impact. We’ll work with you to define safe testing parameters and timings that align with your risk appetite.
At a minimum, annually or after any major configuration change. For businesses in regulated industries or those handling sensitive data, more frequent testing is recommended.
Protect Your Business & Your Reputation.
With a continued focus on security, you can rest assured that breaches and exploits won't be holding you back.
