Cloud Security Posture: Essential Risk Assessment Checklist
Most cloud incidents do not start with a clever exploit. They start with a storage container someone made public for a demo, an access key committed to a repository years ago, or logging switched on in one region and never in the other three. A cloud security posture assessment is the structured way of finding all of that before somebody else does. This checklist walks the whole engagement in order: scoping and read-only access, the technical domains worth reviewing, how to score findings so the list is defensible, whether to use native tooling or a dedicated platform, and what the work realistically costs in money and elapsed time.
