Cloud SecurityServices

Cloud security is the set of policies, controls and technologies that protect your data, applications and infrastructure in cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

It covers who can access your cloud resources, how you configure services, how you protect data, how you monitor for threats and how you respond when something goes wrong. Cloud security services are the specialist support that helps businesses design, run and monitor these protections.

The aim is simple: you get the flexibility of the cloud without leaving your data and systems exposed.

The shared responsibility model divides security duties between the cloud provider and you, the customer.

The provider secures the cloud itself: its data centres, hardware, networks and the software that runs its services. You secure what you put in the cloud: your data, user accounts and access permissions, and how you configure the services you use.

Your share changes with the type of service. With infrastructure services such as virtual machines, you manage much of the security, including operating systems and patches. With platform services, the provider takes on more. With software services such as Microsoft 365, you mainly manage users, access and data. In every case, your data and who can access it remain your responsibility.

Misconfiguration is the most common cause of cloud security breaches. Storage left open to the internet, overly broad access permissions and security features left switched off expose data without any attacker needing to break in.

Identity is the next big challenge. Stolen passwords, unused accounts and staff with more access than they need give attackers an easy way in. Many businesses also lack visibility. As teams create new cloud resources quickly across several accounts or platforms, nobody has a complete picture of what exists and how it's configured.

Skills shortages, compliance requirements and managing several cloud platforms at once add to the pressure. Most cloud breaches come from gaps that basic controls and regular checks would have caught.

There is no single price that makes sense for every organisation.

Cost depends on how many cloud accounts, subscriptions and workloads need protecting, which platforms you use, whether you need round-the-clock monitoring, whether incident response is included and which compliance requirements apply. Providers usually price per cloud account, per protected resource or as a fixed monthly fee for a defined scope. Security tool licences may be included or charged separately.

A company with one AWS account and a few applications has very different needs from one running regulated workloads across AWS and Azure. We would rather understand your environment first and quote for a clear scope than give you a headline price that changes later.

Our managed cloud security service covers the protection your cloud environment needs day to day.

We continuously check your cloud configurations for risky settings and fix them, manage identity and access so people only have the permissions they need, and protect your workloads and data with encryption, network controls and endpoint protection. We also monitor your cloud environment for threats around the clock through SOCRoom, our managed security operations center, and respond when something suspicious happens.

We report regularly on your security posture, the issues we found and what we fixed. Where compliance matters, we map your cloud controls to the frameworks that apply to you, such as ISO 27001 and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act.

Cloud security posture management is the continuous checking of your cloud configurations against security best practices and compliance standards. CSPM tools scan your cloud accounts, flag risky settings such as storage open to the public or unencrypted databases, and show you how to fix them.

Because cloud environments change every day, a configuration that was safe last month may not be safe today. CSPM catches these changes as they happen, instead of waiting for the next audit.

We use CSPM as a core part of our cloud security service. We use it to find misconfigurations across your AWS and Azure environments, prioritise them by risk and fix them, so small mistakes don't turn into breaches.

Yes. Configuration checks show you what might be wrong. Penetration testing shows whether an attacker can actually exploit it.

Our vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT) team tests your cloud environment the way a real attacker would. That includes exposed services, weak access controls, misconfigured storage, insecure application programming interfaces (APIs) and paths that could let an attacker move from one resource to another.

AWS, Azure and Google Cloud all allow customers to test their own cloud resources without asking permission first, as long as testers follow each platform's rules. We plan every test within those rules and agree the scope with you in writing before we start.

Our cloud security assessment gives you a clear picture of how secure your cloud environment is today and what to fix first.

We review your cloud accounts and configurations against security best practices and the compliance requirements that apply to you. We examine identity and access, including who has access to what and whether they need it. We also check network design, data protection and encryption, logging and monitoring, and backup and recovery.

You receive a report that ranks every finding by risk, explains what it means for your business and shows how to fix it. We then walk your team through the results and agree the next steps with you.

Traditional on-premises security focuses on protecting a network perimeter. You control the building, the hardware and the network, and firewalls guard the boundary between your systems and the internet.

In the cloud, there is no single perimeter. The cloud provider handles physical security and the underlying hardware, but anyone with the right credentials can reach your resources from anywhere. Identity and access therefore become the main line of defence.

The cloud also changes quickly. Teams can create new servers, databases and storage in minutes, and a single wrong setting can expose them to the internet. Cloud security relies on continuous configuration checks, strong identity controls and monitoring that keeps pace with that change.

Cybersecurity is the broad discipline of protecting all your systems, networks, devices, applications and data from digital attacks, wherever they are.

Cloud security is one part of cybersecurity. It focuses on the risks and controls specific to cloud environments, such as the shared responsibility model, cloud configurations, cloud identity and access management, and the security tools each cloud platform provides.

Most organisations need both. Your laptops, office networks and on-premises systems still need protecting, and your cloud environment needs the specialised controls that traditional security tools don't cover.

Public cloud security protects workloads that run entirely on a cloud platform such as AWS or Azure. Hybrid cloud security protects environments that combine public cloud with your own data centre or private cloud.

Hybrid environments add extra challenges. You have to secure the connections between your on-premises systems and the cloud, apply the same access rules in both places and monitor everything from one view. Security tools that work well on-premises often don't cover the cloud, and cloud-native tools often don't cover your data centre.

Strong hybrid cloud security uses one identity system across both environments, consistent security policies and centralised monitoring, so a gap between the two environments doesn't become an attacker's way in.

We monitor your cloud environment continuously. Periodic scans alone leave long gaps, and attackers don't wait for your next scan.

SOCRoom, our managed security operations center, watches your cloud activity logs, identity events and security alerts around the clock. Our configuration checks run continuously too, so we catch risky changes, such as storage suddenly made public or new administrator accounts, as they happen.

We also run periodic in-depth reviews and assessments. These look at the bigger picture, such as architecture, access design and compliance, which continuous monitoring doesn't fully cover.

Incident response is included. An alert on its own doesn't stop an attack, especially in the cloud, where an attacker with stolen credentials can do damage in minutes.

When we confirm a threat, we act within the scope you approve in advance. In the cloud, that can mean disabling a compromised user account, revoking stolen access keys, isolating an affected server, blocking malicious traffic through network rules or taking a snapshot of a system to preserve evidence before anything changes.

We agree with you before the service starts which actions we can take immediately and which need your approval. Throughout an incident, we keep your team informed and help you meet reporting deadlines, such as CERT-In's 6-hour rule.

We secure environments across AWS and Microsoft Azure, including businesses that use both.

Procain is an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner and a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security and for Infrastructure (Azure). Each platform has its own security tools, settings and ways of managing access, and our team works with both.

For businesses using more than one platform, we apply consistent security policies across them and bring monitoring and reporting together in one view. You get a single picture of your cloud security instead of a separate one for each platform.

Our contract sets this out clearly before the service starts, so there is no argument after an incident.

When we manage your cloud configuration, we take responsibility for the changes we make within the agreed scope, and we follow a controlled change process for every one. Your team remains responsible for changes it makes outside that process, and the cloud provider remains responsible for its own infrastructure.

We log every change in your environment, so it's always clear who changed what and when. The contract also sets out our liability and how we handle incidents. We recommend that clients review it alongside their cyber insurance, so they know exactly how a breach would be covered.
