The purpose of the security posture review is to evaluate your current cloud security against defined benchmarks and maintain the level of security that your organization requires.
It helps to identify and mitigate security risks to reduce the likelihood of security incidents or events.
Highly prioritized roadmap and technical recommendations for improving security within Google Cloud.
To gain deeper insight into the consumption of cloud services across the organization.
The vast majority of security breaches in the cloud are due to misconfigurations and poor security practices. Most customers do not have good visibility over their whole cloud estate. This offering provides a holistic and in-depth review.
The output of this engagement is a roadmap of tailored recommendations to strengthen security controls and improve confidence in the security of the platform.
Provides awareness and deeper insight into how users are consuming Google Cloud across the organization, and whether users are conforming with security guidelines and best practices.
A Security Posture Review helps assess your organization's overall cloud security framework, identifying vulnerabilities and compliance gaps before they become threats. By evaluating risk exposure, identity and access management (IAM), data protection strategies, and compliance with industry standards, you can proactively strengthen your cybersecurity defenses. Regular reviews ensure that your cloud infrastructure remains secure, resilient, and aligned with evolving threat landscapes.
A Security Posture Review involves a comprehensive evaluation of your cloud environment, covering network security, access controls, misconfigurations, data encryption, threat detection mechanisms, and compliance adherence. It includes cloud security assessments, vulnerability scanning, security policy audits, and incident response planning. This review helps organizations implement best practices for cloud security posture management (CSPM), ensuring a strong cyber resilience strategy.
To maintain an effective security posture, organizations should conduct Security Posture Reviews at least quarterly or whenever significant changes occur in their cloud infrastructure, application workloads, or regulatory requirements. Frequent reviews help detect security misconfigurations, unauthorized access, and emerging threats early, ensuring continuous cloud security optimization and risk mitigation.
Security posture is measured using key indicators such as risk scores, compliance benchmarks, security incident trends, access control effectiveness, and cloud security configuration adherence. Organizations leverage tools like cloud security posture management (CSPM), security information and event management (SIEM), and vulnerability management solutions to track and improve their security maturity. A strong security posture reflects resilient cloud environments, proactive threat detection, and reduced attack surfaces.
