Cloud external penetration testing. Any provider, started today

Cloud penetration testing, wherever you run.

Whether you're on AWS, Azure, GCP, or split across more than one, the real risk is usually the same shape: exposed storage, credentials sitting in public config, and internet-facing services that shouldn't be. We manually test your external cloud footprint for exactly what an attacker can reach without credentials. Start online, no scoping call — tell us your provider(s) when you order.

Why cloud teams end up here

Most cloud breaches are misconfiguration, not zero-days — regardless of provider.

The specifics differ by provider (S3 vs. Blob Storage vs. GCS, EC2 vs. App Services vs. GKE), but the pattern doesn't: exposed storage, internet-facing workloads, and credentials left sitting in public config are how most real cloud environments actually get breached. If you already know you're specifically on AWS, Azure, or GCP, our provider-specific pages go deeper on that platform. This page is for testing across your external cloud footprint generally, including multi-cloud environments.

What audit-grade means

Five commitments that separate a real pentest from a quick-find scan.

"Audit-grade" is a category, not a slogan. It means the report holds up to your auditor's review, your prospect's security team, and your insurance underwriter — not because we say so, but because of what we commit to do on every engagement.

Exposed storage & secrets

Publicly exposed storage and credentials or API keys sitting in public-facing config get tested directly, across every provider in scope.

Internet-facing workload testing

Compute instances, managed endpoints, and management consoles reachable from the internet are tested for real, exploitable exposure.

Retest from scratch

When you remediate, we retest everything from scratch, not just the listed findings. New issues that surfaced since the original test get reported too.

Honest pricing

Published list pricing by the number of assets you want tested, regardless of which cloud you're on. No quote, no negotiation.

Self-serve, no calls

Answer a few quick questions, purchase, and receive your report. No scoping call, no sales rep, no procurement-cycle drag.

Coverage, not quick wins

Bug-bounty and PtaaS testing chases quick wins.
A real cloud pentest is graded on coverage, not the first finding.

The cheap pentest options inside compliance platform marketplaces optimize for time-to-first-finding. They're excellent at surfacing the obvious. They're not designed to comprehensively test what's exposed across a multi-provider footprint.

Quick-find testing

Bug-bounty and PtaaS researchers race for the first finding. Coverage of the rest of your cloud footprint isn't the goal of the system, and it isn't what gets reported.

Scanner-only testing

Automated config scanners find what they recognize on one provider at a time. Exposed storage, leaked secrets, and non-standard workloads are frequently missed.

Audit-grade testing

Every service on every in-scope asset, across every provider in scope. If you list it, we test it.

Honest pricing

Published rates. No quotes. No sales calls.

Pricing is the same regardless of provider — it scales with the number of hosts, IPs, or cloud endpoints you want tested, across however many cloud accounts that spans.

How pricing works: The first asset covers the essential work every engagement requires — scoping, setup, validation, and reporting. Pricing scales with your environment from there. Count each public-facing host, IP, or cloud endpoint you want tested — they don't have to be contiguous or in the same network. If you have more than 256 assets, contact us.

Cloud Pentest FAQ

What multi-cloud teams ask before they buy.

Do you test multi-cloud environments in one engagement?
Yes. Tell us which providers and accounts are in scope when you order, and we test across all of them under one engagement and one report.
Should I use this page or a provider-specific page?
If you're entirely on one provider, our AWS, Azure, or GCP pages go deeper on that platform's specifics. Use this page if you're multi-cloud or haven't settled on a single provider's page yet — the engagement itself is the same either way.
How long does it take?
There's no sales queue to wait on — scoping starts as soon as you check out. Duration scales with the number of accounts and assets in scope; we'll confirm your specific timeline before testing begins.
Is there a sales call?
No. Choose your scope from the pricing table and checkout online.
Do you review our cloud account configuration directly, or only what's internet-facing?
Only what's internet-facing. This is external penetration testing: public endpoints, exposed storage, internet-reachable workloads, and any credentials or secrets an attacker could find without logging into your account. We don't log into your cloud console or review IAM/identity configuration directly — that's a separate, credentialed engagement we don't offer today.
What if I need a retest after remediation?
We retest everything from scratch, not just the listed findings. Free retest within 14 days of report delivery. From day 15 through day 60, retest is 25% of the original price. After 60 days, a full re-engagement is recommended because the environment has typically drifted.
