47+ CIS Benchmark Failures In Average Indian Cloud. We Fix Them.
Cloud Configuration Review is a focused assessment of how your AWS, Azure, or GCP environment is configured — specifically examining whether your settings follow security best practices defined by CIS Cloud Benchmarks and cloud provider security guides.
This is different from a full Cloud Security Assessment. While a full assessment examines architecture, data flows, and application-level security, a configuration review focuses specifically on the settings and policies that govern your cloud resources — IAM policies, storage access controls, network security groups, encryption settings, logging configuration, and service-specific hardening.
The distinction matters because cloud misconfigurations are the single most common cause of cloud data breaches globally. AWS, Azure, and GCP provide secure infrastructure — but how you configure that infrastructure is entirely your responsibility. A single misconfigured S3 bucket policy or an overly permissive IAM role can expose your entire environment.
We assess cloud configurations for Indian businesses every month, and the findings are consistently alarming. In our last 20 cloud configuration reviews for Indian companies, we found public-facing storage in 65% of environments, overprivileged IAM roles in 80%, disabled or incomplete logging in 55%, unencrypted data at rest in 45%, and root account usage without MFA in 35%.
These are not exotic vulnerabilities. They are configuration settings that someone either forgot to enable, intentionally disabled for convenience during development, or simply did not know about. Each one has been the root cause of real data breaches affecting Indian companies.
For startups preparing for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, a cloud configuration review is often the fastest path to identifying and closing compliance gaps in your cloud environment.
Every Cloud Configuration Review engagement with Verentix delivers concrete, actionable outcomes:
Environment Discovery (Day 1): We inventory all cloud services in use, identify all accounts and subscriptions, and establish the scope of the review.
A Series B fintech startup in Bengaluru had 47 CIS Benchmark failures across their AWS environment. The most critical: their RDS instances were publicly accessible with default security groups, and CloudTrail was disabled in 3 out of 4 regions. Remediation took 5 days using our provided CLI commands.
An e-commerce company in Delhi discovered 12 S3 buckets with public read access — including one containing order data with customer addresses and phone numbers for 2.4 lakh customers. The bucket had been public since the company's initial AWS setup 3 years earlier.
A healthcare SaaS platform in Pune needed SOC 2 Type II certification. Our cloud configuration review identified 34 gaps — primarily around encryption, logging, and access controls. All were remediated within 2 weeks, and the company passed their SOC 2 audit on the first attempt.
