What is cloud penetration testing?
Cloud penetration testing involves a comprehensive review of your cloud-based services to uncover vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, providing vital information on how to secure your cloud environment.
Bulletproof’s seasoned security testers rigorously assess cloud infrastructure and applications including penetration testing Google cloud (GCP), Microsoft 365/Azure, and AWS. We uncover vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and technical misconfigurations that a cyber attacker would target.
Testing cloud security
-
Infrastructure Testing
Assess the security of Cloud Service Provider (CSP) and network configurations, including firewalls, virtual private clouds (VPCs), & network traffic
-
Configuration & Access
Evaluate config settings & access controls to ensure that only authorised users have access with Identity and Access Management (IAM) testing
-
Compliance & Governance
Ensure that cloud services and configurations align with regulatory compliance requirements, industry standards, & organisational policies
Cloud security testing
Cloud based services form an integral part of today’s business landscape, which makes cloud application security testing fundamental for protecting online infrastructure and business critical data.
The shared responsibility model means that cloud service providers and businesses using cloud technology are equally responsible for protecting the network through penetration testing and other security best practices as part of a wider risk management framework.

Here’s what our customers say about us
We approached Bulletproof as one of several suppliers who offer penetration testing services. Out of all those contacted, Bulletproof were by far the most professional and slick to work with. From start to finish, the whole process was painless and ran like clockwork. The conclusive pen test report was succinct with clear steps of resolution provided. We were genuinely impressed with how easy Bulletproof were to work with, and would definitely recommend.
This was a very straightforward process. I had enough information up front to understand the process, and did not need to ask many questions along the way. Great service!

Cloud pen testing FAQs
Cloud based infrastructure is often a target for cyber criminals and should be regularly tested for security flaws by both providers and by companies using cloud services. Annual or biannual testing recommended, in order to assess if any security weaknesses have been created within the platform due to software updates, misconfigurations, user errors, and to check that previous security updates are working effectively.
Cloud based infrastructure reviews can be carried out using ‘read only’ accounts where appropriate, and on production accounts involving non-intrusive methods to provide security assurance for the live environment where possible. We can also coordinate our testing services to further minimise disruption, and work flexibly around your day-to-day business operations.
- Small cloud systems: 1-2 days
- Medium cloud systems: 3-6 days
- Larger cloud systems and multiple cloud accounts:7 days+
All tests are tailored to you so use this as a guide.
The best approach is to take cyber security as a holistic process, as weaknesses in one area may undermine security implemented in another. With this in mind, cloud pen tests can be expanded by also testing web apps hosted in the cloud to gain a deeper understanding of any security issues that you may be dealing with. This comprehensive approach can drastically increase your security posture and does more to prevent data breaches.
