Under the shared responsibility model, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud secure the underlying infrastructure — but securing your data, identities, configurations, and workloads is your responsibility. Gartner predicts that through 2025, 99% of cloud security failures will be the customer's fault. Propelex closes that gap with expert assessment, configuration hardening, and continuous monitoring across your entire cloud estate.
Of cloud security failures are the customer's responsibility, not the provider's — Gartner. We make sure you're not part of that statistic.
Continuous assessment of your cloud configurations against security best practices and compliance benchmarks. We identify misconfigurations, exposed storage, open ports, and policy violations across AWS, Azure, and GCP — before attackers find them.
Authorized, scoped penetration testing of your cloud infrastructure and cloud-native applications. We test the way a real attacker would — probing IAM, storage, serverless functions, containers, and network controls — in full compliance with cloud provider policies.
Excessive permissions are the #1 cloud risk. We audit your IAM policies, roles, and entitlements to enforce least privilege, eliminate over-provisioned access, and detect privilege escalation paths across your cloud identities.
Security for the workloads running in your cloud — virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes clusters, and serverless functions. We assess and harden runtime security, image scanning, and workload segmentation across your environments.
Assessment and hardening of how your sensitive data is stored, encrypted, and accessed in the cloud. We review encryption at rest and in transit, key management, data classification, and storage access controls to prevent data exposure.
Security integrated into your cloud development pipeline. We assess your CI/CD workflows, infrastructure-as-code, secrets management, and container registries — shifting security left so vulnerabilities are caught before they reach production.
Cloud providers offer native security tools — but configuring, monitoring, and acting on them requires expertise most teams don't have in-house. Here's how managed cloud security compares to going it alone.
Every Propelex cloud security engagement follows a structured methodology aligned with the CIS Benchmarks, CSA Cloud Controls Matrix, and the shared responsibility model — tailored to your specific cloud platforms and workloads.
Map your complete cloud footprint — accounts, subscriptions, regions, services, workloads, and data stores across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Assess every cloud resource against CIS Benchmarks and provider best practices — identifying misconfigurations, exposed assets, and policy violations.
Analyze identities, roles, and entitlements to enforce least privilege and eliminate the over-provisioned access that drives most cloud breaches.
Authorized, scoped testing of cloud infrastructure and cloud-native apps — probing IAM, storage, serverless, and network controls like a real attacker.
Assess and harden runtime workload security, container/Kubernetes posture, encryption, and data access controls across your environments.
Prioritized remediation guidance with specific, actionable hardening steps — and hands-on support implementing the fixes that matter most.
Map your cloud security posture to HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and CMMC — generating the evidence your auditors require.
Optional ongoing CSPM and cloud workload monitoring — so new misconfigurations and threats are caught and remediated continuously, not annually.

Questions from cloud architects, security teams, and executives securing their cloud environments.
Cloud platform security is the practice of protecting the data, applications, identities, and infrastructure that run in cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It covers configuration management, identity and access management, workload protection, data encryption, and continuous monitoring. Under the cloud shared responsibility model, the provider secures the underlying infrastructure while the customer is responsible for securing what they put in the cloud — which is where Propelex cloud security comes in.
The shared responsibility model defines the division of security duties between you and your cloud provider. The provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) secures the physical infrastructure, hardware, and the cloud itself. You, the customer, are responsible for securing what you put in the cloud — your data, identity and access configuration, applications, operating systems, and network controls. Gartner predicts that through 2025, 99% of cloud security failures will be the customer's fault — which is exactly the gap Propelex closes.
Cloud Security Posture Management is the continuous process of monitoring cloud environments for misconfigurations, compliance violations, and security risks. CSPM tools and services automatically assess your cloud resources against security best practices and benchmarks like CIS, flagging issues such as public storage buckets, over-permissive IAM roles, unencrypted data, and open network ports. Propelex provides both point-in-time CSPM assessments and ongoing continuous monitoring.
Yes. Many enterprises run workloads across multiple clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) and maintain hybrid on-premises infrastructure. Propelex provides unified security across your entire estate — applying consistent security standards, giving you a single view of your posture across all platforms, and eliminating the gaps that often appear at the seams between clouds. You get one security partner instead of managing platform-specific point solutions.
Yes, with proper scoping. All three major cloud providers permit penetration testing of customer-owned resources, though each has specific rules about what can be tested and how. Propelex conducts all cloud penetration testing in full compliance with provider policies — we scope engagements carefully, secure appropriate authorizations, and never test provider-managed infrastructure. This ensures your testing is both effective and policy-compliant.
Propelex cloud security generates the configuration evidence and documentation required by HIPAA, HITRUST CSF, SOC 2 Type II, NIST 800-53, NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, CMMC 2.0, GDPR, and CCPA. We map your cloud security posture directly to the relevant control requirements of each framework, so your cloud environment becomes a source of compliance evidence rather than a compliance liability.
