Cloud Security
CSPM and workload protection across AWS, Azure and GCP — misconfiguration detection, least-privilege IAM remediation, encryption-at-rest validation and runtime threat defence. Covers the shared-responsibility slice your provider does not secure for you.
Overview
Moving workloads to the cloud does not make them immune to the threats that existed on-premise. It moves the attack surface somewhere else: misconfigured storage, over-permissioned identities, vulnerable container images, and infrastructure defined in code. Cloud Security gives your cloud environments the controls they need across AWS, Azure, and GCP, covering workload protection, posture management, identity governance, data security, and compliance monitoring. Your cloud team keeps the speed of infrastructure as code; your security team gains visibility and enforcement that does not sit in the release path.
Clevertek scopes every engagement to your environment — capacity, sites, compliance and support model — so you get a tailored plan rather than a fixed SKU. Pricing is quote-only, and our solutions architects will work through your requirements before any proposal.
Our approach
We assess your cloud environments against CIS, NIST, and SOC 2 benchmarks, then deploy the controls your architecture actually needs: CSPM for posture management, CWPP for workload protection, CIEM for identity governance, and cloud DLP for data. Security scanning is wired into your CI/CD pipelines so vulnerabilities surface in staging, and compliance monitoring runs continuously against the framework you report to. Releases keep their pace, and findings arrive with the context needed to fix them.
Why work with us
One framework across three clouds
AWS, Azure, and GCP are assessed against the same policy set and reported through one dashboard, so a control gap in one account cannot hide behind a healthy score in another.
We start with your exposure, not our catalogue
The first pass looks at what is actually deployed: identity sprawl, publicly reachable storage, unpatched images, infrastructure drift from its code. Tooling follows the findings rather than leading them.
Security that stays out of the release path
Scanning runs inside the pipelines your engineers already use and returns fix guidance beside the finding, so a blocked build comes with an explanation instead of a queue item.
Agents only where agents earn their place
CSPM, CIEM, and most posture work runs agentless through provider APIs. Runtime protection is deployed where the workload type justifies an agent, not by default.
Permissions reviewed against real usage
CIEM findings are read against actual access patterns, so right-sizing removes entitlements nobody uses rather than permissions someone depends on at month end.
Findings reach the tools you already watch
Alerts forward to your SIEM by API, syslog, or webhook, in the formats Splunk, Sentinel, and Chronicle already parse.
Key benefits
What this solution delivers for your business.
Misconfiguration found before it is exploited
Posture management flags publicly readable buckets, permissive security groups, and unencrypted databases while they are still configuration errors rather than incidents.
Container and serverless workloads covered as they churn
Image scanning, runtime protection, and vulnerability management follow workloads that are replaced weekly or hourly, where a static security review would be out of date before it finished.
Developers get findings where they work
Vulnerabilities surface in staging through the pipeline and the pull request, with fix recommendations attached, rather than arriving as a production incident.
Least privilege enforced with evidence
Over-permissioned roles, unused credentials, and cross-account trust paths are identified and right-sized, with the change recorded so access reviews have something to point at.
One compliance view across every account
A single dashboard reports AWS, Azure, and GCP against the framework you answer to, whether that is SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or an industry-specific standard.
Manual posture work replaced by continuous checks
Automated enforcement and continuous monitoring remove the recurring manual effort of auditing cloud accounts, which is work that historically slips the moment a team gets busy.

Where it helps
Real-world scenarios where this solution delivers measurable outcomes.
Multi-cloud enterprise
A security team needs consistent visibility and enforcement across AWS, Azure, and GCP: one dashboard, the same controls, and compliance reporting that reads across all three.
Cloud-native startup
Containers and serverless functions are being deployed faster than any manual review can follow, so scanning is integrated into CI/CD from the first release.
Regulated industry cloud migration
Financial services or healthcare workloads moving to the cloud face PCI DSS, HIPAA, or SOC 2 obligations that require continuous monitoring and documentation rather than a point-in-time audit.
Questions buyers actually ask
Do I need cloud security if I already have network security?
Yes. Cloud security covers attack surfaces network security does not reach: misconfigured storage, over-permissioned IAM roles, vulnerable container images, and insecure infrastructure-as-code.
Is this agentless or agent-based?
CSPM and CIEM are agentless and use provider APIs. CWPP offers both agentless scanning through API snapshots and agent-based runtime protection. The right mix depends on workload types.
Can this integrate with my existing SIEM?
Yes. Findings and alerts forward to your SIEM by API, syslog, or webhook, and Splunk, Sentinel, Chronicle, and standard formats are all supported.
How long does initial deployment take?
The initial CSPM assessment is live within days of granting read access to the cloud accounts. Full deployment covering CWPP, CIEM, CI/CD integration, and DLP runs 3-6 weeks depending on account count and workload types.
