Cloud Provider Assessment

Our cloud assurance journey highlights the services you need to ensure a smooth migration from traditional software, platforms and infrastructure to a secure cloud or hybrid environment.

Our experts can assist you through every stage of your cloud journey.

1. Cloud risk assessment

A cloud risk assessment  is designed to assist you to evaluate the suitability of migrating services to cloud environments and assess existing risks in hybrid or full cloud deployments.

Our consultants are experienced at supporting organizations to review their cloud security posture, helping to assess the risks aligned to a company’s appetite.

We help businesses to detect potential exposure points for sensitive information. We design, build and deliver secure cloud environments based on your specific security and compliance considerations.

We design security embedded into cloud environments with both performance and business goals in mind. We understand both the strengths and risks associated with public and private clouds.We have helped many organizations get more from the cloud by designing and deploying hybrid cloud environments, which address security concerns and meet business goals.

Our consultants can advise you on the best practices when dealing with cloud service providers and other related third parties. Additionally, we provide expertise in the areas of IR containment, recovery, and evaluation of test procedures.
