CIS Benchmark Audit Services

Primary Objective

Validate system and cloud configurations against CIS security benchmarks

Identify exploitable vulnerabilities within cloud environments

Approach

Configuration review and compliance validation

Hands-on, adversarial testing and exploitation

Scope

Operating systems, cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP), containers, databases

Cloud infrastructure, IAM roles, storage, APIs, serverless functions, networking

Risk Focus

Misconfigurations and control gaps against best-practice standards

Real-world attack paths, privilege escalation, lateral movement

Testing Style

Audit-based assessment (non-exploitative)

Active simulation of attacker behavior

Framework Alignment

Direct alignment with CIS Controls and CIS Benchmarks

May support compliance but focuses on security risk rather than checklist alignment

Authentication & Access Review

Reviews password policies, MFA settings, and access configurations

Attempts IAM abuse, token manipulation, and privilege escalation

Depth of Validation

Validates whether controls are configured correctly

Validates whether controls can actually be bypassed

Output

Compliance scorecard with remediation recommendations

Detailed findings showing exploit paths and potential business impact

Best For

Organizations seeking configuration hardening and compliance alignment

Organizations wanting to understand real-world cloud breach risk

Key Question Answered

“Are our systems configured according to security best practices?”
