Cloud Security Services India — AWS, Azure & GCP Security Assessment

eShield Consulting delivers cloud security services for Indian enterprises migrating to or already operating on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Our cloud-certified security team identifies misconfigurations, excessive permissions, unencrypted data, and compliance gaps that expose your cloud environment to breach.

Our Cloud Security Services in India

• Cloud Security Posture Assessment (CSPA) — Comprehensive review of your cloud environment against CIS Benchmarks, AWS Well-Architected Framework, Azure Security Benchmark, and GCP Security Foundation.
• Cloud Penetration Testing — Active exploitation testing of IAM misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, metadata service exposure, and inter-service trust relationships.
• Cloud Access Management Audit — Review of IAM policies, role assignments, service account permissions, and cross-account trust relationships.
• Container & Kubernetes Security — Docker image scanning, Kubernetes RBAC review, network policy assessment, and secret management audit.
• Cloud Compliance Assessment — Map your cloud configuration to ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, CERT-In, and DPDP Act requirements.
• Cloud Incident Response — Forensic investigation of cloud security incidents including S3 bucket exposure, credential compromise, and cryptomining attacks.

Common Cloud Security Issues in Indian Organisations

• Publicly accessible S3 buckets or Azure Blob containers exposing sensitive data
• Overly permissive IAM policies violating principle of least privilege
• Unencrypted databases (RDS, Cloud SQL, Azure SQL) at rest
• Management ports (SSH, RDP) exposed directly to the internet via security groups
• No CloudTrail / Activity logs enabling attack investigation
• Hardcoded credentials in EC2 user data, Lambda environment variables, or code repositories

Frequently Asked Questions — Cloud Security India

Is cloud security covered under CERT-In compliance in India?

Yes. CERT-In directions apply to all ICT infrastructure including cloud environments. Data centres and cloud service providers operating in India must comply with CERT-In log retention, incident reporting, and security audit requirements. Indian organisations using cloud services must ensure their cloud configurations meet the same security standards as on-premise infrastructure.

What cloud platforms do you support?

We support all major cloud platforms: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and major Indian cloud providers including NIC Cloud, Meghraj (GI Cloud), and private cloud deployments based on OpenStack or VMware.

Cloud Security Services Scope

eShield cloud security services cover the three major hyperscalers in India: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Our services include Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) assessments, cloud penetration testing, IAM privilege escalation testing, cloud architecture reviews, and DevSecOps pipeline security integration. We also support hybrid cloud environments and Kubernetes security assessments for organisations running containerised workloads.

Common Cloud Security Findings in India

Based on our assessments of 50+ Indian cloud environments, the most common critical findings are: publicly accessible S3 buckets containing production data (found in 34% of AWS environments), overly permissive IAM roles with wildcard policies (found in 61% of environments), EC2 instance metadata service (IMDS) v1 enabled allowing SSRF-to-credential theft (found in 48% of environments), RDS and database instances in public subnets (found in 27% of environments), missing CloudTrail logging or GuardDuty for threat detection (found in 40% of environments), and default VPC security groups allowing unrestricted inbound access (found in 19% of environments).

Cloud Security Architecture Review

eShield cloud architecture reviews assess your environment against the AWS Well-Architected Framework, Azure Security Benchmark, and CIS Cloud Security Benchmarks. We deliver a prioritised remediation roadmap with Terraform/CloudFormation/ARM template fixes where available. Reviews cover identity and access management, network security (VPC/VNet design, security groups, NACLs), data protection (encryption, key management), logging and monitoring (CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, GCP Cloud Logging), incident response readiness, and cost implications of security controls.

Kubernetes and Container Security

Container security assessments cover Docker image scanning (CVE analysis, base image hardening, secrets in layers), Kubernetes cluster hardening (RBAC misconfigurations, privileged containers, host namespace sharing, insecure API server settings), and runtime security (Falco rules, network policies, pod security admission). eShield integrates with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) to shift security left — catching vulnerabilities before they reach production.

eShield cloud security assessments start with a 2-hour read-only access review of your AWS, Azure, or GCP environment using ScoutSuite and Prowler. This produces an initial findings report at no cost, allowing you to understand the risk profile before committing to a full engagement. Full assessments are priced on a per-account, per-day basis with transparent scope. Typical mid-sized AWS environments (50-200 EC2 instances) are assessed in 3-5 days. We work in IST business hours and provide a point of contact for queries throughout the engagement.

eShield cloud security consultants hold AWS Certified Security Specialty, AZ-500 (Azure Security Engineer), and Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer certifications. All cloud testing follows explicit rules of engagement with written authorisation before any active testing begins.
