Business-focused solution
Cloud Security
Cloud security depends on service configuration, identity, workload design and the division of responsibilities between provider and customer. AOS helps UK organisations review these areas and prioritise changes that fit their cloud environment.

Why this matters
Cloud estates can grow quickly across accounts, subscriptions and services. Misconfigurations, broad permissions and uncertain ownership make it harder to see which settings matter most.
Potential business impact
Configuration and access weaknesses can expose workloads or information, create service interruption and complicate response. The provider’s security controls do not remove customer responsibilities.
Common warning signs
- •Unknown cloud accounts or subscriptions exist
- •Privileged identities have broad or permanent permissions
- •External sharing and application access are not reviewed
- •Cloud logs lack clear owners
- •Security responsibility between provider and customer is unclear
AOS approach
A practical route from need to action
Identify cloud platforms, workloads, data, identity systems and operational owners. Clarify shared responsibility, review configuration and access in scope, and prioritise recommendations against service criticality and current capability.
How a solution may work
- 01Inventory cloud services, workloads, identities and data responsibilities
- 02Review access, network boundaries, configuration and logging
- 03Identify risks and practical remediation options
- 04Plan changes with cloud and application owners
- 05Set ownership for ongoing review and monitoring
Potential solution components
- Cloud network security and workload visibility
- Identity and access review
- Web application, API and DDoS protection options
- Secure collaboration and data access
- Logging, configuration ownership and remediation planning
Technology options to consider
- Microsoft and AWS: cloud platforms and security capabilities may be reviewed in their respective environments
- Check Point: authorised UK partner option for cloud network, web application/API and DDoS security categories
- Sophos and other ecosystem technologies may be considered where current capabilities and fit are verified
Only Check Point authorised UK partner status is confirmed. Other vendor references do not imply AOS authorisation, resale, product availability or a specific integration. Vendor selection and capabilities are verified against current documentation during scoping.

Suitable organisations
Useful for cloud migrations, Microsoft 365/AWS environments, hybrid estates, SaaS growth or organisations with customer assurance requirements.
Engagement options and boundaries
- • Cloud network and application protection options
- • Scoped configuration and identity review, subject to agreed access and limits
- • Implementation and managed cloud scope only where capability, products and responsibilities are confirmed
- • Cloud architecture review is not a guarantee of compliance or security
Frequently asked questions
Does the cloud provider secure everything?
No. Shared responsibility varies by service. Customers retain responsibilities for areas such as identities, data, access and configuration.
Can you review our cloud configuration?
A review may be scoped by platform, account, services and access. The exact coverage and deliverables are agreed before work.
Does cloud security include backup?
Not automatically. Backup, retention and recovery are separate requirements that should be assessed explicitly.
