Shared responsibility map
A one-page view of which layers your provider secures and which identities, settings, and data your team owns.
The Problem
Is the Cloud Secure? The Provider's Half Usually Is
Yes, the provider secures its data centers and core services. Your half (identities, settings, storage, and logging) is where the trouble shows up.
Admin keys
Launch-week admin keys still work for people who left.
Admin keys
Old keys get revoked, and admins sign in through SSO with MFA instead.
Forgotten accounts
A test account runs in a region nobody watches.
Forgotten accounts
Every account and region gets the same benchmark, logging, and threat detection.
Public storage
Nobody can say which buckets or blobs are public.
Public storage
Public access is blocked by default, with named exceptions you approve.
Config drift
Fixed settings come back with the next deploy.
Config drift
Fixes ship as code with guardrails, so new resources inherit them.
Your company moved to the cloud partly because the provider handles security. Then a customer's questionnaire asks who can reach your storage buckets, and nobody is sure. Three people still hold admin keys from launch week. A test account keeps running in a region nobody uses. Logging is on in production, but not where the staging copy of customer data lives. None of this is the provider's job. AWS, Microsoft, and Google secure their side, and the settings on top are yours.
We start with a shared responsibility map: which layers your provider secures and which ones your team owns. Then we turn on the provider's own posture tool, score every account against its CIS Foundations Benchmark, and rank what an attacker would reach first. Fixes ship as Terraform or Bicep, with guardrails that block the same mistake in new accounts. You end up with settings that stay fixed, not a report that ages in a shared drive.
Shared responsibility mapped first
You see which layers AWS, Microsoft, or Google secures and which settings your team owns.
Benchmarked against CIS controls
Your accounts are scored against the CIS Foundations Benchmark, and each finding is ranked by reach.
Fixes that stay fixed
Your fixes ship as code, and guardrails block the same misconfiguration in new accounts.
Our Cloud Security Services Process
From Shared Responsibility Map to Hardened Accounts in Five Steps
You approve the scope, see each finding verified by hand, review every fix in a pull request, and get a rescan.
You tell us your clouds, accounts, and what triggered the review: a customer questionnaire, an audit, or a scare. You get a fixed scope and price. If your provider's free posture tool already covers what you need, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get With Cloud Security Consulting
You get a shared responsibility map, CIS benchmark scores, identity and data findings, fixes written as code, guardrails for new accounts, and a strategy your leadership can read.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built cloud apps and platforms for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Engineering Teams Trust Us With Their Cloud Accounts
Nothing changes without your approval, findings are ranked by real exposure, and your team gets code it can read. These habits keep a security project from causing an outage.
Read-only until you approve
We audit through read-only roles and change nothing until you approve a pull request. Your production stays exactly as it was while we look.
Ranked by blast radius
We rank findings by what an attacker could reach, not by tool severity alone. A public bucket of invoices outranks a missing tag.
Every fix ships as code
Changes go through Terraform, Bicep, or your own templates. Your team can read, review, and roll back each fix later.
Honest questionnaire answers
We draft answers your sales team can paste into customer security questionnaires. They match what's actually configured, so nobody overpromises.
No favorite cloud provider
We work across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud and resell no licenses. If a native tool covers you, you hear that before any paid platform.
You own every artifact
Your benchmark results, code, and strategy stay in your repositories. You can hand them to an auditor or another vendor anytime.

Good fit
SaaS teams answering customer security questionnaires
Your enterprise prospect sent a security review, and its cloud section asks about logging, encryption, and admin access you can't confirm.
Startups that launched fast on one cloud
You shipped on AWS or Google Cloud in a hurry, and the account still runs on the founders' admin keys and default network settings.
Companies running two clouds at once
Your product runs on AWS while identity and finance live in Azure, and nobody checks both clouds against the same baseline.
Teams preparing for SOC 2 or ISO 27001
Your auditor will ask for evidence of cloud logging, access reviews, and encryption, and you want those gaps closed before fieldwork starts.
Agencies hosting client apps in the cloud
You host client sites and apps across several cloud accounts and need one security baseline you can show each client.
Not a fit
Only one AWS account
You run one AWS account and want a focused review of it. Our AWS Security Audit Services start lower and go deeper on AWS-only checks.
Only Kubernetes needs review
Your risk sits inside clusters: pod privileges, secrets, and runtime alerts. Kubernetes Security Services cover that layer in more depth.
Need round-the-clock monitoring
You need people watching alerts at night and on weekends. Managed Security Services fit better, since this is a project with a fixed end.
Budget under $1,050
Your budget is under $1,050, or you only want an automated scan. Turning on your provider's free posture tool is a better first step.

A DeveloperLook cloud security project starts at $1,050 for an assessment of one cloud with up to 3 accounts. That covers your shared responsibility map, CIS benchmark scoring, and an identity and data review. Assess and Harden costs $2,850 and fixes your top 15 findings as code. The Multi-Cloud Program costs $5,600 for two clouds and up to 25 accounts.
Cloud security is the set of controls that protect cloud accounts, identities, data, and workloads from unauthorized access and misconfiguration. It covers who can sign in, what your internet-facing services expose, how your data is encrypted, and what gets logged. Most of it is configuration your team owns, so a good review starts with your settings.
Cloud security matters because one wrong setting can expose your data to the whole internet without any hacking involved. A public bucket, an admin key pushed to a repository, or logging switched off in one account turns a small slip into a breach. Your customers and auditors now ask about these controls before they sign, so getting them right protects revenue too.
The biggest risks of cloud computing are misconfigured storage, overprivileged identities, leaked access keys, and missing logs. Others include internet-facing management ports, unpatched virtual machines, and forgotten accounts or regions nobody monitors. Shared tenancy itself is rarely the weak point, because providers isolate customers well. The gaps sit in the settings you control, which is where an assessment spends most of its time.
You secure sensitive cloud data by finding it, blocking public access, encrypting it with your own keys, and limiting who reads it. Start with an inventory of your buckets, databases, and snapshots that hold personal or payment data. Then turn on account-level public access blocks, use customer-managed keys where your policy requires them, and log every read of the most sensitive stores.
A successful cloud security strategy starts with shared responsibility, then sets one baseline every account must meet. Pick a benchmark, such as the CIS Foundations Benchmark for your provider, and enforce it with guardrails instead of reminders. Decide who on your team owns identity, logging, and incident response, and review progress every quarter. Our strategy one-pager puts those decisions in front of your leadership.
A cloud security assessment is a structured review of your cloud accounts against a security benchmark, ending in ranked findings. It checks identities, network exposure, storage, encryption, logging, and threat detection. A useful one verifies tool output by hand and ranks findings by what they expose in your accounts. Ours covers up to 3 accounts on the first plan, and larger plans add fixes.
You evaluate a cloud provider's security through its independent audit reports, its shared responsibility model, and the controls it gives you. Download its SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 reports from a portal such as AWS Artifact or the Microsoft Service Trust Portal. Then check data residency, key options, and logging. The major cloud security providers all publish this.
Cloud native security protects applications built from containers, Kubernetes, serverless functions, and managed services across their whole lifecycle. It covers code and image scanning in the pipeline, admission policies in the cluster, and runtime detection in production. It differs from server security, because your workloads appear and disappear in minutes. Our Kubernetes Security Services page covers the cluster side in depth.
No single container security provider is best for everyone: the right one fits your cloud, cluster count, and team. Native options such as Amazon Inspector, Microsoft Defender for Containers, and Google Cloud's Artifact Analysis cover a lot for a low cost. Open-source Trivy and Falco fill gaps. Compare cloud security solutions on what they detect and who on your team reads the alerts.
