Full Infrastructure and Cloud Audit

We perform a thorough analysis of your infrastructure and cloud resources - both public and private clouds. The assessment covers network security, access control, authentication, service configurations, and secrets management.

Our approach combines automated scanning with SecureBaseline Cloud and manual expert review. The platform checks compliance against 15+ security profiles (CIS, STIG, PCI-DSS, HIPAA) and detects CVE vulnerabilities using NVD, OVAL, and FSTEC BDU databases.

Standards Compliance

If your business must comply with security standards - PCI DSS, NIST, SOC2, HIPAA - we help you pass audits and meet regulatory requirements. We identify gaps and provide concrete remediation steps with priority and timelines.

Methodology

The audit follows recognized industry methodologies: OWASP and PTES for penetration testing, NIST SP 800-115 for technical security assessment, CIS Benchmarks for configuration analysis, and the MITRE ATT&CK matrix for modeling adversary tactics and techniques. This approach keeps results reproducible and covers both configuration and exploitation risks - from misconfigured IAM to realistically exploitable attack chains.

What the Audit Includes

  1. Cloud infrastructure analysis - IAM configurations, network policies, data encryption, logging and monitoring
  2. Penetration testing - external perimeter and internal service penetration testing
  3. Compliance assessment - PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, SOC2, CIS Benchmarks verification
  4. Vulnerability analysis - CVE scanning, patch verification, configuration analysis
  5. Detailed report - prioritized recommendations with severity ratings and remediation timelines
  6. Ongoing support - assistance implementing recommendations and follow-up scanning

How the Audit Works

  1. Planning and scope agreement - define audit boundaries, critical systems, and rules of engagement.
  2. Data collection and inventory - map cloud resources, services, access paths, and entry points.
  3. Automated scanning - run SecureBaseline Cloud for profile compliance and CVE detection.
  4. Manual expertise and exploitation - confirm findings, assess real exploitability and attack chains.
  5. Reporting and prioritization - classify vulnerabilities by CVSS and build a prioritized remediation plan with timelines.
  6. Re-testing - after remediation, run a control scan and confirm the risks are closed.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance standards does the audit cover?
The audit covers PCI DSS, SOC 2, NIST 800-53, CIS Benchmarks, HIPAA, and FSTEC requirements. We verify compliance against 15+ security profiles and provide recommendations for each standard.
How long does an infrastructure audit take?
A standard audit takes 2-6 weeks depending on infrastructure size and the number of cloud services. Automated scanning via SecureBaseline Cloud reduces timelines by 3-5x compared to manual audits.
What deliverables will I receive?
You receive a detailed technical report with CVSS-classified vulnerabilities, prioritized recommendations, specific remediation steps, and an implementation plan. A sample Yandex Cloud audit report is available on this page.
Do you work with cloud providers?
Yes, we support Yandex Cloud, VK Cloud, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, and hybrid infrastructures. We have specialized Yandex Cloud detection rules covering 63 cloud services.
Does the audit include penetration testing?
Yes, we perform external perimeter and internal service penetration testing as part of the comprehensive audit. Standalone pentest services using OWASP, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115 methodologies are also available.
