-
FCA Cloud Outsourcing Guidance
The FCA's guidance on cloud and other third-party IT services (FG16/5 and PS21/3) requires FCA-regulated firms to conduct appropriate due diligence on cloud providers, maintain data sovereignty controls, and implement adequate security oversight. Our cloud assessments produce the documentation required by FCA supervisors.
-
UK GDPR Article 32
UK GDPR requires appropriate technical and organisational security measures for personal data. Cloud misconfigurations — exposed S3 buckets, over-permissive IAM, unencrypted databases — are a primary cause of personal data breaches. Our assessment identifies these risks before they become ICO reportable incidents.
-
NCSC Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus requires external testing of your boundary firewalls and internet-facing services. Cloud environments are increasingly included in CE Plus scope. Our cloud security assessments support CE Plus certification for AWS and Azure workloads.
-
PRA Operational Resilience
The Prudential Regulation Authority's operational resilience requirements for UK banks and insurers require scenario testing of important business services, including cloud-hosted services. Our cloud security assessments support PRA scenario testing documentation.

AWS Security Assessment
Comprehensive assessment of your AWS environment against CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark. Covers IAM, S3, RDS, EC2, VPC, CloudTrail, and GuardDuty configuration. Includes UK data residency verification.
Azure Security Assessment
Microsoft Azure security assessment covering Entra ID, RBAC, network security groups, storage accounts, Key Vault, and Defender for Cloud configuration. Aligned with Microsoft Security Benchmark v3.
Cloud Penetration Testing
Technical exploitation testing of your cloud environment — not just configuration review. We test IAM privilege escalation, SSRF, metadata service abuse, and lateral movement paths.
Cloud Security Hardening
Remediation implementation following our assessment. We apply CIS Benchmark controls, configure AWS Security Hub or Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and implement preventative guardrails (SCPs, Azure Policy).
