Cloud penetration testing

Identify and validate cloud vulnerabilities with expert-led precision.

Your cloud perimeter is dynamic and constantly evolving. Rhymetec’s Cloud Penetration Testing provides a structured evaluation of your AWS, Azure, and GCP environments to identify and validate vulnerabilities. Our methodology aligns with the OWASP Cloud-Native Application Security Top 10 (CNAS), ensuring your testing reflects the latest standards in modern cloud security.

A premium process for confident cloud security

We combine automation, manual validation, and contextual reporting for clear results.

Planning and preparation

Define your cloud assets, services, and perimeter boundaries to ensure proper coverage.

Discovery & Enumeration

Map public endpoints, APIs, and services to understand your real attack surface.

Exploitation & Validation

Leverage automated tooling and expert-led manual testing to identify and validate vulnerabilities such as privilege escalation, API abuse, and misconfigurations.

Reporting & Remediation Guidance

Deliver a detailed report with validated findings, severity ratings, and prescriptive remediation steps.

Comprehensive testing for cloud-native environments

Validate vulnerabilities across cloud services, containers, and orchestration layers.

Rhymetec’s testing approach evaluates risks across all layers of your cloud infrastructure. We assess:

  • Public-facing endpoints, APIs, and load balancers
  • Cloud storage (e.g., S3, Azure Blob, GCS) for insecure access or data leakage
  • Misconfigured containers, serverless functions, and IAM roles
  • Application-layer vulnerabilities in web interfaces and microservice

All testing is performed within cloud provider guidelines to ensure compliance and operational stability

What is Cloud Penetration Testing?

Cloud penetration testing is a controlled, expert-led simulation of real-world attacks against your cloud environment—such as APIs, storage, and compute services—to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. Rhymetec’s approach combines automated and manual testing aligned with the OWASP Cloud-Native Application Security Top 10 (CNAS), helping organizations validate security controls across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

How often should Cloud Penetration Testing be performed?

Most organizations conduct cloud penetration tests annually or after significant architectural changes—such as adding new APIs, containers, or regions. For high-velocity teams, quarterly or bi-annual testing provides continuous assurance as the environment evolves. Rhymetec tailors testing cadence to your compliance frameworks, business priorities, and rate of change.

What’s the difference between a Cloud Penetration Test and a Cloud Configuration Review?

A Cloud Penetration Test actively simulates attacks to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited, while a Cloud Configuration Review evaluates how your environment is set up—focusing on misconfigurations, IAM roles, and policy gaps.

How long does a Cloud Penetration Test take?

A standard cloud penetration test with Rhymetec typically takes one week from kickoff to initial report delivery. The exact timeline may vary based on the size and complexity of your environment, the number of assets in scope, and whether credentialed testing is included.

Security with benefits

What our clients are saying about us

Rhymetec helped us to become ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant in 1/3 the time we were expecting. As an early stage B2B startup, this allowed us to go afer enterprise customers months ahead of schedule and got us to become more competitive vs the established players.

Agentnoon

CTO & Cofounder

We went from zero to ISO 27001 and SOC 2, Type 2, in a much shorter time than anyone else was telling us. Rhymetec worked with me to get our organization the security certifications it needed and I will always be grateful for their professionalism and support because their help solved a very real business problem for us.

Tenjin

VP

Working with Rhymetec’s team is great. We use their vCISO program and work closely with a Cloud Compliance Analyst. The Rhymetec team is knowledgeable, responsive and flexible. It is like having an additional team member to handle security and technical issues.

ThinkIQ, Inc.

Director of Operations

Rhymetec did an amazing job and we sailed through our ISO 27001 audit and SOC2 audit. Our vCISO has been great to work with.

ContractSafe

President

We engaged with Rhymetec to complete our first ISO 27001 internal audit. They executed a very efficient engagement and helped us through the process. They produced quality deliverables within the timelines promised.

mTuitive Inc.

CISO

For any companies going through the SOC 2 compliance process, Rhymetec should be a required resource. They combine expert knowledge with a low-effort service model that doesn’t tie up our team’s capacity. I’d recommend Rhymetec to anyone.

Cartful

CEO

Rhymetec has been an absolute lifesaver. Not only is our vCISO super knowledgeable about all things SOC2, but was an absolute delight to work with. There is no way we would have reached this point without our vCISO and Rhymetec’s help.

D3Clarity, Inc.

Operations Associate

The testing was very thorough and complete. Communication and feedback afterwards was easy to understand and very fast. We were able to quickly identify and fix all the issues that were brought up and the team was able to verify the fixes without issue.

Graphium Health

Senior Application Architect

I appreciated how easy it was to schedule the internal audit, and how my Rhymetec compliance analyst helped me understand what I needed to do to prepare for both their internal audit and also our subsequent external audits.

Duolingo

Senior Security Risk Program Manager

Rhymetec was very professional and helpful. They made it easy to schedule the ISO Internal Audit, the response was clear and helpful. I’ll definitely be working with them again in the future.

PlaybookUX

CEO

The team at Rhymetec was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. They were able to accommodate our extended Penetration Testing schedule for remediation and retesting. And the ability to communicate directly with the testers via Slack was a time saver and enormously helpful.
