Cloud Penetration Testing Australia

AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Security Testing by CREST-Accredited Consultants

Cloud penetration testing is a controlled, manual attack simulation against your AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud environment. It finds the misconfigurations, excessive permissions and exposed services an attacker could use to reach your data. Borderless CS provides CREST-accredited cloud penetration testing for Australian organisations, delivered by Australian-based consultants, with prioritised remediation guidance and retesting to confirm fixes.

Unlike a standard network test, a cloud penetration test focuses on identity and access management (IAM), storage exposure and the paths an attacker could chain together, for example from a leaked access key to full account takeover.

What is Cloud Penetration Testing?

Cloud Penetration Testing is a security assessment that evaluates cloud-hosted environments for vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive data, compromise user accounts or provide unauthorised access to cloud resources. It examines how cloud infrastructure, applications, storage, networking and identity services are configured and secured against real-world attack techniques.

Our Cloud Penetration Testing Australia service combines manual security testing with industry best practices to identify misconfigurations, excessive permissions, insecure services and cloud-specific security risks. Our consultants provide practical remediation recommendations to help strengthen your cloud environment while supporting compliance and business resilience. For ongoing protection between tests, pair it with Continuous Monitoring to detect and respond to threats as they emerge.

Why Cloud Penetration Testing Matters

Cloud platforms are constantly evolving, and a single configuration error can expose critical systems or sensitive information. Regular Cloud Penetration Testing Australia helps identify security weaknesses before attackers can exploit them, reducing business risk and improving your overall cloud security.

Benefits of Cloud Penetration Testing

Cloud Penetration Testing helps organisations identify and remediate cloud security weaknesses before they become business risks.

Identify Cloud Vulnerabilities

Discover security weaknesses before attackers can exploit them.

Protect Critical Assets

Safeguard sensitive data, applications and cloud resources.

Strengthen Cloud Security

Improve identity management, network security and cloud configurations.

Reduce Business Risk

Identify high-risk vulnerabilities before they affect operations.

Support Compliance

Help demonstrate compliance with recognised cybersecurity standards.

Improve Security Confidence

Gain confidence that your cloud environment is secure and resilient.

Supporting Compliance and Security Assurance

Cloud Penetration Testing can support security and compliance programs by providing independent evidence that internet-facing infrastructure has been assessed.

Penetration testing does not guarantee compliance on its own, but it can provide valuable assurance and help identify areas requiring improvement.

Our testing may support requirements associated with:
  • ISO/IEC 27001
  • APRA CPS 234
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework
  • Customer security reviews
  • Cyber insurance requirements
  • PCI DSS
  • SOCI Act obligations
  • Essential Eight maturity initiatives
  • Internal risk management programs

Frequently asked questions about Penetration Testing

What is Cloud Penetration Testing?

Cloud Penetration Testing is a security assessment that identifies vulnerabilities across cloud infrastructure, services and applications.

We assess Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), along with cloud-hosted applications and services.

Our testing is carefully planned to minimise disruption. We coordinate with your team to ensure testing is performed safely.

We recommend testing annually and after significant infrastructure changes, migrations or new cloud deployments.

Yes. Every engagement includes remediation recommendations and optional retesting to verify that identified vulnerabilities have been resolved.

Cloud testing focuses on identity, misconfigurations and cloud-native services rather than open ports and physical infrastructure. The biggest risks are usually overly permissive IAM roles, exposed storage and leaked keys, which a traditional network test can miss.

Cost depends on the number of cloud accounts or subscriptions, the size of the environment, whether containers and serverless are in scope, and the testing approach. We provide a clear quote after a short scoping call, so you only pay for what you need.

In most cases you don’t need routine pre-approval to test your own resources, but each provider publishes rules of engagement and prohibits activities such as denial-of-service testing. Some activities need approval. We confirm the current provider policy and your written authorisation before every engagement.
