Cloud security assessment using CSA CCM and CERT-In aligned methodology.
Cloud environments are fundamentally different from on-premises infrastructure — and most organisations underestimate how much of their attack surface lives in misconfigured storage buckets, overpermissioned IAM roles, and exposed management APIs. A Crewtec Cloud Security Assessment evaluates your cloud posture against the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), ISO 27001 cloud controls, and CERT-In guidelines — giving you a clear, actionable picture of your cloud risk.
A structured process — so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
Enumerate all cloud accounts, subscriptions, projects, and resources — including shadow cloud accounts not managed by IT.
Assess storage buckets, compute instances, databases, IAM policies, security groups, and network configurations against CSA CCM and CIS Benchmarks.
Review IAM roles, service accounts, privileged access, cross-account trusts, and federated identity configurations for over-permissioning and misuse.
Identify publicly exposed data, unencrypted storage, insecure APIs, and data residency issues relevant to RBI data localisation and DPDPA requirements.

A Cloud Security Assessment evaluates the configuration, access controls, network settings, and data handling practices of your cloud environment — AWS, Azure, GCP, or multi-cloud — against recognised security frameworks. It identifies misconfigurations, excessive permissions, exposed data, and compliance gaps before attackers or auditors find them.
We follow the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) as the primary framework — explicitly mandated by CERT-In's July 2025 guidelines for cloud security audits. We also apply CIS Benchmarks for AWS/Azure/GCP, ISO 27001:2022 cloud controls (5.23), and CERT-In Cyber Security Audit Baseline Requirements.
CERT-In's July 2025 guidelines include cloud security testing as one of the 26 official audit engagement types. RBI requires cloud risk assessment for banks and NBFCs adopting cloud services. ISO 27001:2022 added cloud-specific controls. SEBI CSCRF covers cloud environments used by market participants.
We assess AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Oracle Cloud. We can also assess multi-cloud environments and Indian cloud providers including NIC Cloud and ESDS. Our methodology follows the cloud provider's Well-Architected Framework aligned with CSA CCM.
For a single cloud account (AWS/Azure/GCP) with typical enterprise complexity, a comprehensive assessment takes 5–10 business days. Multi-cloud or large-scale environments may require 2–4 weeks. We provide a detailed scope estimate after an initial scoping call.
VAPT (penetration testing) actively attempts to exploit vulnerabilities — it is a technical attack simulation. A cloud security assessment is a configuration and architecture review — it evaluates how your cloud is set up, what policies are in place, and what risks exist from misconfiguration and access control failures. Many organisations need both: VAPT for their applications running in the cloud, and a cloud security assessment for the cloud environment itself.
