Cloud Penetration Testing

In addition to our on-premise penetration testing services, URM also delivers cloud penetration testing covering all types of deployments including:

• AWS penetration testing along with other Cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Cloud deployment models such  as individually managed virtual machines (e.g., AWS EC2), automated     deployments and configuration (e.g., puppet, chef or terraform), cloud services (e.g., Azure App Service, AWS Lambda) or container solutions (Kubernetes and Docker).

URM can perform a range of testing including external unauthenticated penetration testing through to security configuration reviews.   For example, a test may involve reviewing the externally accessible public IP addresses of a service, the configuration of key web and database components by conducting a CIS benchmark against them and conducting a high-level review of the whole cloud platform account.   If the cloud infrastructure is also integrated into existing on-premise infrastructure, then URM can combine this with internal penetration testing.

Why URM?

As a CREST-accredited organisation, URM is able to provide reassurances that all the policies, processes and procedures which underpin its cyber security penetration testing have been independently assessed and deemed to be fit for purpose.  Furthermore, accreditation to the CREST OVS programme reflects URM’s commitment to employing highly skilled individuals who are able to deliver Level 1 and Level 2 ASVS and MASVS assessments for web and mobile applications.  With its CREST penetration testing URM is able to support you through the whole penetration testing process, providing support during all the phases of the project. URM’s expert team will assist you during the scoping phase, provide regular updates during the assessment, provide a debrief meeting at the end of the assessment and help you through the remediation process.

URM fully understands that the objective of penetration testing is to reduce the risk affecting your organisation’s assets. That is why URM includes a free retest of any high or critical vulnerabilities identified during an assessment in the first 30 days after the assessment, to ensure the highest risks are mitigated as quickly as possible.

One of the major differentiators between URM and other penetration testing organisations is its holistic approach. Not only can URM provide cutting edge pen testing services, but with its governance, risk and compliance background can also provide a whole plethora of policy, process and training solutions to address your security weaknesses.  Furthermore as a Payment Card Industry Qualified Security Assessor Company (PCI QSAC) URM has teams which can provide assessment (RoC) consultancy and PCI penetration testing services.
