What is cloud penetration testing?
Cloud penetration testing is a cyber security method used to review how secure your cloud-based systems, applications and infrastructure are from potential threats. The main goal of cloud penetration testing is to protect your data and stop any potential hackers early, before they cause damage. It checks if hackers can break into your cloud systems and steal sensitive data.
Our cloud penetration testing service uses ethical hacking to test your cloud exposure, and a white box authenticated audit to test against your cloud services.
Why do you need a cloud pentest?
Put simply - your business is at risk without it. Cloud misconfigurations are easy to miss but devastating when exploited. Traditional security measures often fall short in cloud environments, and compliance requirements are constantly evolving. Meanwhile, cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated daily, specifically targeting cloud vulnerabilities.
Your data is your lifeline. One breach could cost millions and destroy customer trust. That's where our CREST-accredited cloud penetration testing comes in. We:
- Identify vulnerabilities before hackers do
- Simulate real-world attacks on your systems
- Ensure you meet industry standards and compliance requirements
Our testing provides a clear roadmap to strengthen your defences, going beyond basic security measures to truly safeguard your cloud environment. Don't leave your cloud security to chance. Invest in expert testing to protect your business, data, and reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should you test your cloud platform?
A pentest should be undertaken at least once a year, with additional tests performed after any major changes, upgrades or software patches.
Do I need permission from my cloud provider?
Yes, you typically need permission from your cloud provider before conducting a penetration test. Most cloud providers, such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, require you to submit a formal request outlining the scope and nature of the test to ensure it complies with their policies and does not disrupt their services or other customers.
What type of cloud pentest do you need?
The type of cloud penetration test you need depends on your cloud deployment model and specific security concerns. Common types include infrastructure testing (focusing on the security of cloud servers, storage, and network components), application testing (assessing the security of applications running in the cloud), and configuration reviews (ensuring your cloud environment is set up according to best practices). The scope may also vary based on whether you are testing public, private, or hybrid cloud environments.
When will I receive my report?
Our testers report in real time as they test, so you can get notified immediately when something is found, instead of having to wait until the test is complete and a report written up.
Is OnSecurity a CREST-accredited provider?
Yes. OnSecurity is CREST-approved, and all our testers are qualified CREST testers.
How long does a cloud pentest take?
How long a test will take will depend on the size of your target and its function. We ask 2 simple scoping questions to gauge the complexity of your environment which then informs the time we think it will take to test.
Will work be disrupted during the test?
Our tests are carried out in a safe and controlled manner by experienced testers, so you can continue with work as normal. We tell you about the security issues we find in real-time, so you can fix them before criminals have a chance to exploit them.
