Secure Your AWS Cloud with Confidence

About AWS Security

AWS Misconfigurations Are the Rule, Not the Exception

AWS affords your organization great flexibility, and that flexibility is precisely where risk hides in the cloud. Overly permissive IAM roles, publicly accessible S3 buckets, unrestricted security groups, and unmonitored API activity are some of the most common findings we uncover in the Canadian AWS environment, often in organizations that believed their setups were secure.

Our engineers manually trace IAM trust relationships, look for privilege escalation opportunities, and validate that your AWS security groups are doing what you think they're doing. We scope each assessment based on your environment, your compliance requirements and your risk tolerance, and deliver findings your team can act on.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure how it applies to your environment? Our engineers are happy to talk it through.

How long does an AWS security assessment take?
Most assessments take between 3 and 7 business days depending on the size and complexity of your AWS environment. We scope the timeline with you during the initial call so there are no surprises. 
Do you need admin access to our AWS environment?
We work with read-only IAM credentials scoped to the services in scope. We never make changes to your production environment during an assessment. 
Is this the same as what AWS Trusted Advisor does?
AWS Trusted Advisor is an automated tool that checks for a limited set of configuration issues. Our assessment involves manual expert review of security logic, IAM trust chains, privilege escalation paths, and compliance posture that automated tools consistently miss. 
Can you assess a multi account AWS Organizations setup?
Yes. Multi-account environments are actually where manual expert review adds the most value, as cross-account permissions and trust boundaries create risk that single-account tools don't fully address. 
Will the findings align with our SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit requirements?
Yes. We map findings to common compliance frameworks so your security assessment work supports your audit evidence at the same time. 
How is PlutoSec different from a large cloud consulting firm?
We focus exclusively on security. You get certified security engineers who specialize in cloud attack and defense, not generalist cloud consultants who include a security checklist.
