Overview
What is a cloud security assessment?
A cloud security assessment reviews how your cloud accounts are set up, to find exposed data, over-broad access and settings an attacker could use. Ants Creation (Pvt) Ltd’s own security team carries it out with read-only access you grant, under a written authorisation and an NDA.
Many cloud problems come from how an account is set up rather than from the provider. We check identity and access, storage, networks, logging and how the account is managed.

Common questions
Cloud security assessment: frequently asked questions
Which cloud platforms do you review?
Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. The accounts in scope are agreed when Ants Creation’s security team scopes the assessment, and set out in writing. On each platform, the review covers identity and access, storage and databases, cloud networks and firewall rules, logging and alerts, encryption, and how admin accounts, sign-in protection and billing alerts are managed.
Do you need admin access?
No. Read-only access to the cloud accounts in scope is enough for Ants Creation’s security team to review the configuration, so the assessment does not change anything in your setup. You grant the access for the review, and the scope and the access we need are agreed in writing, alongside an NDA, before the review starts.
Can you also reduce our cloud bill?
Yes. Ants Creation’s cloud cost optimisation reviews the same accounts for unused resources, servers larger than their workload, data kept in costlier storage than it needs and pricing options you are not using. Cost and security problems often sit in the same settings, so the two reviews pair well, and nothing changes without your approval.
