Cloud & Infrastructure

Secure your digital backbone. We review and design secure cloud architectures, networks, and infrastructure-as-code with Zero Trust and modern identity at the core.

As businesses increasingly migrate to cloud environments and hybrid infrastructures, the security landscape becomes more complex. Cloud misconfigurations, shared responsibility gaps, and legacy network vulnerabilities can all become entry points for attackers. Our Cloud & Infrastructure Security services at IGCCD are designed to help organisations secure their entire IT stack—across private cloud, public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise networks—while enabling agility, visibility, and compliance.

  • Cloud Security Reviews

    We conduct in-depth security assessments across your cloud environments, identifying risks in configurations, identity and access management, encryption practices, monitoring, and more. This includes automated checks and manual reviews tailored to your specific architecture and provider (AWS, Azure, GCP).

    IaC Security

    Infrastructure as Code (IaC) enables rapid and repeatable deployments—but insecure IaC can replicate misconfigurations at scale. We scan and analyse your Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM templates, and CI/CD pipelines for security weaknesses, helping you build secure-by-default infrastructure.

    SIEM / SOAR Integration

    A well-integrated SIEM or SOAR platform enables rapid detection and response. We help design, configure, and integrate SIEM/SOAR solutions across cloud and hybrid environments, ensuring correlation of logs, automated playbooks, and threat visibility across your ecosystem.

    Network Security

    We assess your network architecture—cloud and on-prem—for segmentation, firewall rules, access control, and endpoint visibility. Whether you’re implementing zero trust, VPN alternatives, or cloud-native security groups, we provide clarity and best practice guidance.

    Telecoms / Carrier-Grade Security

    We support telecoms providers and large-scale infrastructure operators with specialised services focused on carrier-grade security standards, signalling system integrity (e.g., SS7/Diameter), lawful intercept controls, and critical infrastructure protection aligned to NIS/NCSC guidelines.

    • Migrating to or expanding your cloud environment.

    • Concerns over recent cloud breaches or compliance mandates.

    • Managing multi-cloud environments and struggling with visibility.

    • You’ve adopted Infrastructure as Code and want to secure your DevOps.

    • Need to reduce your attack surface across hybrid networks and VPNs.

  • We begin by understanding your infrastructure landscape and identifying the key workloads, identities, and entry points. Using a blend of automated tools, threat intelligence, and manual expertise, we assess configurations, data flow, IAM, networking, and logging. For IaC, we integrate security into your CI/CD workflows with pre-commit hooks, policy-as-code, and secure modules. In telecoms and high-availability infrastructure, we align with ETSI, NIST, and sector-specific guidance to ensure resilience and availability alongside security.

    Milestones:

    1. Environment Discovery & Access Setup

    2. Initial Risk Assessment / Code Review

    3. Draft Reports & Recommendations

    4. Workshop to Review Findings

    5. Final Report + Optional Remediation Support

    • Risk: Excessive IAM privileges in cloud environments
      Mitigation: Principle of least privilege enforcement and identity reviews

    • Risk: Insecure default configurations in cloud services
      Mitigation: Use of secure baselines and automated config audits

    • Risk: IaC pipelines replicating vulnerabilities
      Mitigation: Code scanning and security guardrails in CI/CD workflows

    • Risk: Carrier network visibility gaps
      Mitigation: Logging, SIEM integration, and telecoms-specific detection logic

  • Q: I’m already using AWS/Azure tools—do I still need a review?
    Yes. Native tools often miss contextual risks, inter-service permissions, and complex misconfigurations that attackers exploit.

    Q: We use Terraform but don’t know what’s secure or not—can you help?
    Absolutely. We provide secure modules, scan your code, and implement policy-as-code to block risky deployments at source.

    Q: Do you help us fix the issues too?
    Yes. We offer remediation guidance, secure architecture redesigns, and can work with your internal teams or partners.
