APPLICATION & CLOUD SECURITY
Build faster. Understand the security behind every release.
CCURITY assesses security across APIs, identities, integrations, and cloud services to uncover weaknesses, protect critical systems, and deliver actionable insights for engineering and security teams.
APPLICATION SECURITY ASSESSMENT
Application security is more than a list of known vulnerabilities.
Application security assessments uncover authorization gaps, insecure data flows, session weaknesses, and service vulnerabilities by evaluating real-world behavior and potential attack risks.
Plan an Application Security Review
Access permissions
Understand whether users or services can access data outside their permissions.
Sensitive workflows
Evaluate sensitive workflows and business-logic assumptions.
Launch readiness
Identify issues that may affect launch readiness or customer assurance.
Developer guidance
Give developers evidence and remediation guidance they can act on.
CLOUD SECURITY ASSESSMENT
Your cloud environment is part of your attack surface.
Cloud platforms provide powerful security controls, but risk often emerges from how services, identities, networks, and data are configured and connected. CCURITY evaluates selected cloud exposure and control boundaries to help teams understand where additional safeguards or deeper validation may be needed.
Identity & Access
Review privileged access, service roles, authentication controls, trust relationships, and permissions that may create unintended paths to sensitive resources.
Data & Configuration
Assess storage visibility, service configurations, secrets handling, and selected security settings that affect the protection of business data.
Workloads & Network Exposure
Examine publicly reachable services, cloud network boundaries, workload configuration, and relevant attack paths across connected components.
WHAT WE OFFER IN CLOUD SECURITY
Assess deployment risk. Validate exposure. Improve control.
01
Cloud Configuration Review
Review agreed AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud configuration and security controls against appropriate technical references and the client’s architecture.
02
Cloud Penetration Testing
Where permitted by provider rules and client authorization, investigate realistic exploitation paths involving cloud workloads, identities, connected APIs, and services.
03
External Attack Surface Review
Identify relevant internet-facing assets and exposure indicators that may warrant remediation or more detailed testing.
04
Cloud Architecture Security Review
Examine selected architectural trust boundaries and control assumptions to identify improvement opportunities before deployment or expansion.
EDITORIAL NOTE · CONFIRM BEFORE PUBLISHING
Confirm which frameworks CCURITY uses for testing guidance. Accreditation, certification, and compliance assessments require separate verification.

Is offensive security the same as penetration testing?
−
+
Penetration testing is a major offensive-security activity, but the category can also include red teaming, adversary emulation, social engineering simulations, and specialized attack-path validation.
What is the difference between penetration testing and red teaming?
−
+
A penetration test typically evaluates defined systems for exploitable vulnerabilities. Red teaming begins with agreed adversary objectives and may assess how weaknesses, people, and defenses interact across a broader scenario.
Can tests be conducted against live systems?
−
+
Production testing may be possible when expressly authorized and appropriately controlled. The scope, permitted techniques, exclusions, and incident contacts must be determined before testing.
Will an automated scan provide the same result?
−
+
Automated scans can identify many known patterns, but they often cannot fully evaluate business logic, chained weaknesses, or scenario-specific exploitation. They can complement, not necessarily replace, manual testing.
Will we receive remediation guidance?
−
+
The proposed deliverable is a report linking findings to technical evidence, impact, and practical remediation considerations. Confirm the precise reporting and retesting deliverables in the statement of work.
