Cloud Configuration Review
As enterprises continue to accelerate their “Cloud First Strategy,” security practitioners must ensure the security and resilience of your organization’s cloud infrastructure.
Canary Trap’s Cloud Configuration Review provides valuable insights into how effective the cloud application is at using the available security controls to protect workloads. Our elite team will identify misconfigurations and vulnerabilities that present a potential cyber risk.
We will assess the impact and severity of the identified risks. Canary Trap will commence a thorough risk evaluation process. Each identified vulnerability is assessed against the potential risk and impact to your organization. Risks are prioritized based on their potential to compromise your data, disrupt business services, or otherwise expose the cloud environment to potential threats.
Canary Trap will then compile a comprehensive Report of Findings. This document serves to provide a clear view into the vulnerabilities and weaknesses within your cloud infrastructure. We will report on any misconfigurations, deployment mistakes, and architectural flaws that are likely to introduce security risks immediately or over time.
Undertaking a Cloud Configuration Review will help you to proactively identify and address security gaps within your cloud infrastructure, optimize resource utilization, and maintain a secure cloud environment.
Committing to undertake regular security assessments will help to ensure that your organization can remain vigilant and resilient to new and emerging cyber threats. Undertaking a Cloud Configuration Review can assist with improved planning when it comes to business continuity and disaster recovery.
Canary Trap combines human expertise with sophisticated tools, proven methodologies and, where appropriate, threat intelligence to ensure a thorough, in-depth approach to security testing and assessments.

FAQs
What is a Cloud Configuration Review?
A Cloud Configuration Review evaluates the security settings, policies, and practices within your cloud environments (such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud). It identifies misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and gaps that could expose your organization to cyber threats.
Why is a cloud configuration review important for my organization?
Cloud platforms are highly flexible but also complex, and misconfigurations are one of the leading causes of data breaches. A review helps ensure your cloud environment is aligned with security best practices, reduces risk exposure, and supports compliance with frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HIPAA.
What areas are typically assessed during a cloud configuration review?
Our assessments focus on:
- Identity and access management (IAM) policies
- Network security groups and firewall rules
- Data encryption and key management
- Logging, monitoring, and alerting configurations
- Storage and database access controls
- Multi-cloud and hybrid environment integrations
How often should cloud configuration reviews be performed?
We recommend conducting reviews annually or after major changes to your cloud infrastructure (e.g., new deployments, migrations, or integrations). Continuous monitoring is also advised for organizations with dynamic or large-scale cloud environments.
What deliverables will Canary Trap provide after the review?
You’ll receive a comprehensive Findings Report that includes:
- Executive summary for leadership teams
- Detailed findings with severity ratings
- Identification of misconfigurations and risks
- Actionable remediation recommendations
- Findings review meeting with our cloud security experts
