What we examine.
What you receive.
Each audit is scoped to your environment and your stage of growth. Here's what's available and how each type of engagement is structured.
Comprehensive Cloud Audit
Our full audit covers all three dimensions: cost, security, and architecture. This is the most thorough option, appropriate for startups that haven't had an external review before or that are approaching a significant scale event.
The comprehensive audit examines your entire cloud environment across whichever providers you use. It produces a single integrated report where cost, security, and architecture findings are connected, showing you how a security misconfiguration might also be driving unexpected costs, or how an architectural pattern is creating both risk and inefficiency simultaneously.
This audit includes:
- Full billing and cost allocation review
- IAM and permissions audit
- Network security assessment
- Storage and data exposure review
- Architecture scalability assessment
- Monitoring and observability gaps
- Prioritized written report
- Team walkthrough session
When you know where to look.
Sometimes a team has a specific concern and wants a focused review rather than a full audit. We offer three targeted engagement types.
Cost Optimization Audit
Focused entirely on your cloud spending. We analyze billing data, identify waste sources, map resource utilization, and produce a prioritized list of cost reduction opportunities.
Useful when your cloud bill has grown faster than your team expected and you want to understand exactly why before taking action.
Security Posture Review
Focused on your security configuration. We examine IAM policies, network exposure, data protection settings, logging coverage, and the gaps between your current posture and established security baselines.
Appropriate before a fundraising round, before customer due diligence, or after a team member flags a concern about access controls.
Scale Readiness Assessment
Focused on whether your architecture can handle your next growth phase. We examine single points of failure, capacity constraints, deployment processes, and the areas where scale will expose fragility.
Particularly useful before a major product launch, a significant user acquisition campaign, or a shift in technical architecture.
Environments we work with.
Amazon Web Services
EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, RDS, Aurora, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, Cost Explorer, and related services. Single and multi-account setups including AWS Organizations.

Microsoft Azure
Virtual Machines, AKS, App Service, Azure Functions, SQL Database, Blob Storage, Azure AD, NSGs, Virtual Networks, Azure Monitor, and Cost Management. Subscription and tenant-level review.
Multi-Cloud and Hybrid
When your environment spans multiple providers or includes on-premise components, we examine the integration architecture, data flow costs, and the coherence of your security posture across all systems.
The deliverables you can actually use.
Reports are written for engineers, not executives. That means specific resource names, precise configuration details, and clear remediation steps rather than general recommendations.
Every report includes an executive summary for leadership, detailed findings for your engineering team, and a prioritized action list your team can track through to completion.
We also provide a follow-up window after delivery. If something in the report raises questions two weeks later, you can reach us.
Written Audit Report
Structured document with executive summary, prioritized findings, and detailed remediation guidance.
Action Item Tracker
A structured list of recommended actions organized by priority, estimated effort, and expected impact.
Team Walkthrough
Live session with your engineering team to review findings, answer questions, and align on priorities.
Follow-Up Access
A defined window after delivery where you can reach us with questions about findings or implementation.
