• Giving you confidence in your security controls

Cloud, Network & Device Configuration Reviews

Our reviews provide a structured assessment of how securely technology platforms are configured across cloud environments, networks and endpoint devices. Delivered through our CyberAscend framework, our service helps organisations identify misconfiguration, insecure defaults and control gaps that could expose systems to compromises.

Why regular Configuration Reviews are critical

Misconfiguration remains one of the most common causes of security incidents. Even well‑designed platforms can become vulnerable over time as changes are introduced, exceptions accumulate and environments scale.

Hidden Risk

Misconfigurations are a leading cause of breaches and often go unnoticed without structured review.

Control Drift

Security settings degrade over time as systems change, increasing exposure without visibility.

Attack Prevention

Secure configurations reduce common attack paths and prevent exploitation of avoidable weaknesses.

Cloud Complexity

Modern cloud platforms introduce configuration risk that requires specialist review and validation.

Assurance Evidence

Configuration reviews provide documented proof that controls are implemented correctly and consistently.

Operational Confidence

Validated configurations give leaders confidence that security controls work as intended in practice.

  • INTRODUCING CYBERASCEND

CyberAscend forms the DNA of our Review service

CyberAscend gives our clients confidence by providing clarity on what to expect and where they are on their journey.

1
Initiate
We begin by understanding configuration risk in the context of your organisation. We work with stakeholders to define the scope, identify business‑critical systems, and understand regulatory, assurance and operational requirements.
2
Discover
We assess the configuration of in‑scope environments against recognised security best practice. Reviews identify insecure or overly permissive settings, gaps between intended and actual control enforcement, and legacy configurations that increase risk.
3
Remediate
Following the discovery phase, we provide a structured review report that clearly identifies configuration weaknesses, prioritises risk based on business impact, and includes practical remediation guidance. A debrief workshop closes the engagement, reviewing findings, answering questions and supporting remediation planning.
4
Confirm
In the Confirm stage, we support organisations as remediation progresses by reviewing configuration changes, validating alignment with recommendations and providing expert guidance where required.
5
Continue
Configuration risk evolves continuously as cloud services change, networks expand and new capabilities are introduced. Without regular validation, secure settings can degrade over time. We look to establish repeatable review cycles, tracks maturity improvements and aligns configuration management with wider assurance activities.

Our clients benefit from our industry expertise, accreditations and partnerships

What our Configuration Review clients receive as standard...

  • Clear visibility of configuration‑based security risk
  • Reduced likelihood of avoidable security incidents
  • Improved alignment with security best practice
  • Stronger governance, audit and assurance evidence
  • A foundation for sustained security maturity

What our Configuration Reviews cover...

Modern environments combine cloud services, networking layers, and end‑user devices, each with their own potential risks. We review all three areas to give you a complete picture of how securely your environment is configured. Our reviews cover:

Cloud Platforms

AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud

Network Infrastructure

Firewalls, switches, segmentation, access controls

Device Builds

Windows and Linux workstations and servers

Mobile Device Management

Policy and compliance configuration

CIS Benchmark Alignment

Ensuring key systems follow recognised best practice

These reviews help you secure your environment at its foundation, improving resilience and reducing hidden risk.
