Why a cloud audit is essential

The Microsoft Cloud offers companies enormous flexibility and scalability – but it is no sure-fire success in terms of securityMisconfigurations, unused security features, or overly broad permissions often go unnoticed – until it's too late. Our Cloud Security Audit & Assessment provides you with the insights you need to informed security decisions need – on a technical and strategic level.

If we don't find your vulnerabilities for you, malicious hackers will:

Whether missing access controls, insufficient monitoring or open interfaces – Companies regularly overlook security gaps, which are easy targets for attackers. Those who don't actively seek out risks risk being discovered and exploited by cybercriminals first.

We see these mistakes again and again:

Attention: Cloud security isn't an IT problem, it's a business risk. Companies rely on their cloud systems being secure—until an attack or compliance audit proves otherwise. Our Cloud Security Audit uncovers security and compliance gaps before they lead to costly damage.

Your cloud is only as secure as its configuration!
Misconfigurations and inadequate access controls are the number one gateway for cyberattacks.
Our Cloud Security Audit shows you exactly where your company has vulnerabilities – and how to fix them.

Who benefits from a cloud security audit?

Cloud security is not just an IT issue – it affects the entire company. IT teams must ensure that no areas of attack remain open, Compliance Officer need clarity about regulatory requirements and the Management must minimize risks to the company. Our audit is aimed at anyone responsible for IT security – and who wants to know exactly where they stand. We close this gap by diving deep into your cloud settings and analyzing all security-critical aspects.

IT Managers & Cloud Administrators:

  • They are responsible for a secure IT environment and sensitive customer data, but often do not have the Helpto ensure cloud security at the highest level.
  • Misconfigurations are difficult to detect, and security gaps often arise from unclear responsibilities or complex authorization structures.
  • Our audit helps, to identify security risks, to take practical measures and at the same time to position yourself internally as a security expert.

Management & C-Level:

  • Cloud security is not a purely technical issue – attacks can cause serious disruptions, for example through operational interruptions. economic consequences have and the Reputation cause lasting damage to your company.
  • Use compliance requirements as Competitive advantage: Don't just tick a box, but strengthen your customers' trust by working with experienced security experts.
  • Our audit ensures Transparency: Where do we stand now? What measures are really necessary? Are we already making optimal use of the services we pay for? And how do we protect ourselves in the long term?

This is how our audit works:

BingBang: Small mistakes, big consequences

When cloud security becomes an open door

A single misconfiguration, a subtle configuration error – and suddenly confidential data is at risk. This is precisely what the "BingBang" incident in March 2023 demonstrated: Due to a misconfiguration in Microsoft Azure Active Directory It became theoretically possible to access internal Microsoft services without authorization. Bing, SharePoint, and Teams were open to attackers – and could have been manipulated.

The frightening: The error wasn't the work of a sophisticated hacker, but rather a simple, often overlooked setting. A prime example of how cloud security isn't a given – and how companies that don't actively review their configurations are lulled into a false sense of security.

How could this happen?

  • A seemingly harmless Multi-tenant configuration in Azure Active Directory (AAD) was set incorrectly.
  • Developers had forgotten additional authorization checks for multi-tenant applications.
  • This made it every Microsoft user worldwide can gain access to internal Microsoft services – including Bing, SharePoint and Teams.

What impact did this have?

  • Attackers would have Manipulate search results, send newsletters or misuse API interfaces can.
  • A XSS vulnerability in Bing would have made it possible Compromise corporate Microsoft 365 accounts.
  • This would have access to Emails, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive means – with potentially catastrophic consequences.

The lesson from BingBang:

  • Minor configuration errors can pose immense risks.
  • Cloud security is not given automatically – it must be actively checked.
  • Misconfigurations often go unnoticed until it is too late – an audit helps to identify such Identify weak points early.

Our Cloud Security Audit helps you identify and resolve such risks early on – before someone else does.

Why ProSec? – Because we think about cloud security from the perspective of real attackers.

Many cloud security providers rely solely on compliance checks or sell expensive security solutions.

FAQ

A Cloud Security Audit checks the configuration your cloud environment for security risks and misconfigurations using proven standards (e.g., CIS Benchmarks). Pentest on the other hand, simulates real attacks and actively exploits vulnerabilities found.

Our Cloud Security Audit includes Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Microsoft 365 (Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Intune) and Azure services. Additional areas can be examined as needed.

The duration depends on the size and complexity of your cloud environment. Typically, a full audit takes between 1,5 and 5 days.

Companies of all sizes benefit from a cloud security audit, especially those that Use Microsoft cloud services, have to meet compliance requirements or already first security incidents have experienced.

We recommend a Cloud Security Audit at least once a year to carry out or after significant changes to your cloud environment.

Yes, it is possible. Companies with hybrid infrastructures (cloud & on-premises) particularly benefit from combining cloud security audits with a more comprehensive Pentest While the audit uncovers misconfigurations, the pentest examines attack vectors across the entire IT landscape. Furthermore, companies that operate entirely in the cloud can combine the audit with a Phishing simulation test or one Physical Security Test to specifically test the vulnerabilities in identity and access controls.

You get one detailed report with all identified weak points, clearly prioritized recommendations for action and a strategic consultinghow to sustainably improve the security of your cloud.
