Cloud security basics
What is cloud security?
Cloud security protects the data, applications, and identities you run in SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS services, across public, private, and hybrid clouds. It covers how your environments are designed and configured, who can access them, and where your data goes.
Cloud providers secure their infrastructure, but your settings, users, and data remain your responsibility. That is where most cloud security risk lives: misconfigured services, stolen credentials, unmanaged apps, and sensitive data shared beyond your control.
Why it matters
The speed of the cloud, without the exposure
Shadow IT under control
Find unauthorized apps and risky cloud use
See which unsanctioned apps and clouds your people use and what data they hold, then approve, secure, or block each one before it becomes a breach.

Fewer breaches
Close the gaps attackers find first
Secure configurations, strong identity controls, and MFA shut down the misconfigurations and stolen passwords behind most cloud breaches.

Prevent data loss
Keep sensitive data from walking out the door
Classification, encryption, and sharing controls stop confidential data and intellectual property from going where it should not.

Faster deals and audits
Pass customer security reviews and audits with confidence
Cloud controls built to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC, and FedRAMP expectations answer buyers and auditors quickly.

Zero Trust
Zero Trust: the foundation of how we secure your cloud
The cloud has no perimeter to defend. Zero Trust verifies every user, device, location, and request, every time, and grants only the access each one needs through granular access control. A stolen password or compromised laptop does not become a breach.
Stolen passwords
A stolen password alone cannot get in
Multi-factor authentication and device checks verify every user and device before access is granted.

Contained breaches
An intruder cannot roam your cloud
Granular, least-privilege authorization and segmentation limit each account to exactly what it needs, so one compromise stays small.

Work from anywhere
Secure access from any location or device
Access is based on identity and context, not on being inside your network, so remote teams stay productive and protected.

Early detection
Suspicious activity caught as it happens
Continuous verification and monitoring flag unusual behavior before it turns into an incident.

Compliance foundation
The foundation every security framework builds on
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC, FedRAMP, and security frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework all require verified access and least privilege. Zero Trust meets them at the core.

What we secure
Security across your entire cloud footprint
Whatever cloud services you use or provide, we secure the four areas where cloud security risk concentrates.
Architecture
Design and hardening
Secure cloud architecture, hardened configurations, network segmentation, and Zero Trust design.
Identity
Access and authentication
Federated identity, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and least-privilege access.
Data
Data protection
Data discovery, classification, encryption, and data loss prevention, including cloud-to-cloud sharing.
Visibility
Monitoring and shadow IT
Visibility into apps, users, and activity, detection of unusual behavior, and continuous monitoring.
Shared responsibility
Who secures what in the cloud
Your provider is responsible for its infrastructure. Your configurations, users, and data are your responsibility, and that is where we come in.

Our approach
From full visibility to a cloud that stays secure
01
Discovery & Visibility
We inventory your cloud services, apps, users, and data flows, including shadow IT, and assess the security risk of each.
02
Architecture Review
We review your cloud architecture and configurations against best practices and the frameworks you must meet.
03
Identity & Access
We strengthen identity with federated single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and least-privilege access.
04
Data Protection
We put in place data discovery, classification, encryption, and loss prevention across cloud and endpoints.
05
Hardening & Zero Trust
We harden configurations, segment environments, and apply Zero Trust principles to limit the impact of any breach.
06
Continuous Monitoring
We track activity and configuration changes, detect unusual behavior, and keep controls aligned as your cloud grows.
FAQ
Cloud security questions, answered
Cloud security
Isn't our cloud provider responsible for security?
Partly. Under the shared responsibility model, providers secure their infrastructure, while you are responsible for your configurations, users, access, and data. Most cloud breaches happen on the customer side of that line.
Which cloud services do you secure?
Any you use or provide: SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, in public, private, or hybrid deployments.
What is Zero Trust, and why does it matter in the cloud?
Zero Trust means no user or device is trusted by default, even inside your network. Every access request is verified by identity, device, and context. In the cloud, where there is no network perimeter, it is the most effective way to stop stolen credentials and contain a breach.
What is shadow IT, and why does it matter?
Shadow IT is cloud apps and services your people use without IT oversight. Each one can hold sensitive data outside your controls. We find them, assess their security risk, and help you approve, secure, or block them.
Do you help with FedRAMP?
Yes. Our consultants have deep FedRAMP experience, including former 3PAO assessor work. See our FedRAMP Compliance page for how we take cloud providers from readiness to authorization.
Scope, timing, and cost
Do you migrate workloads to the cloud?
No. We focus on securing your cloud. We work alongside your team or your migration partner so security is built in from the start.
Can you add single sign-on and MFA to our existing apps?
Yes. We design and implement federated single sign-on and multi-factor authentication for cloud and on-premises applications.
How long does a cloud security engagement take?
An initial assessment typically takes a few weeks. Remediation and ongoing monitoring follow a prioritized plan sized to your environment.
How much does it cost?
Cost depends on the number of cloud environments, applications, and users in scope. There is no flat fee. We provide a firm quote after a short scoping conversation.
Cloud security in practice
The cloud accelerates your business.
It also expands your security risk.
Every new app, user, and integration widens your attack surface, and securing it is still your job.
