Cloud Security Consulting Services

Andersen delivers cloud security consulting to assess, design, and harden cloud environments. We fix cloud misconfigurations, close compliance gaps, and reduce breach risk with controls and audit-ready evidence.

Cloud security expertise you can measure

Andersen secures enterprise cloud solutions and cloud adoption programs, tracking measurable improvements in control maturity and incident reduction.

Our security specialists conduct architecture, application security, and network assessments for regulated and fast-scaling organizations.

We align delivery to GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 requirements, helping regulated organizations pass audits on schedule.

Cloud security consulting services we offer

Andersen evaluates architecture, privilege controls, information handling, and regulatory posture across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments. Teams preparing for certification or scaling receive a prioritized risk inventory with remediation roadmaps and supporting evidence.

Scope includes:

  • Identity security assessment and privilege review;
  • Application design review, secure code review, and dynamic application testing;
  • Red team assessment, vulnerability assessment, and social engineering scenarios.

Our team develops a multi-quarter strategy that aligns remediation priorities with regulatory requirements and engineering capacity. Teams managing cloud initiatives receive phased execution plans with ownership, timelines, and control maturity targets.

Roadmap outputs:

  • Target security posture and maturity plan;
  • Shared responsibility model across product, platform, and managed services teams;
  • Business continuity and disaster recovery priorities.

Security is embedded across infrastructure, identity, data, and application layers through design and configuration of cloud-native architectures. Development teams receive threat models, control baselines, and implementation checkpoints enabling velocity without audit rework.

Architecture work:

  • Threat modeling across trust boundaries and sensitive data paths;
  • SaaS security controls and information privacy safeguards;
  • Design patterns for secure CI/CD pipeline and IaC security.

Andersen maps controls to GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 frameworks. Regulated organizations receive control matrices, audit documentation, and enforcement patterns reducing repeat findings and accelerating certification timelines.

Framework mapping:

  • GDPR and HIPAA obligations;
  • PCI DSS and SOC 2 evidence and control mapping;
  • Control ownership with policy workflows.

Our specialists build cloud identity security programs using least-privilege models, conditional access, and real-time monitoring across IAM platforms. Teams managing multi-account architectures receive control frameworks, detection rules, and playbooks preventing lateral movement.

IAM activities:

  • Federation and conditional access policies;
  • Privilege escalation monitoring and detection;
  • Token misuse detection and session anomaly response.

Security controls are embedded into migration execution to relocate workloads without introducing vulnerabilities or compliance gaps. Teams migrating on-premises systems or consolidating infrastructure receive pre-cutover audits, transition validation, and hardening plans that protect uptime.

Migration focus:

  • Pre-cutover control checks for sensitive information retention;
  • Security validation during workload transition phases;
  • Post-migration control validation and rollback criteria.

Our team implements data encryption, key management, and access controls across cloud data pipelines. Organizations handling regulated data receive encryption policies, privacy assessment frameworks, data privacy procedures, and backup validation — all designed to protect confidentiality without slowing performance.

Protection controls:

  • Key lifecycle and secret handling;
  • Information classification and encryption enforcement;
  • Resilience tests for backup integrity.

We embed security gates into CI/CD pipelines to maintain team velocity without compromising governance. Development organizations receive testing configurations, code remediation playbooks, policy templates, and evidence automation that reduce review cycles and prevent non-compliant deployments.

Engineering controls:

  • Static and dynamic checks in pipelines;
  • Policy enforcement for build and deployment stages;
  • Release evidence for audits.

Our specialists design SIEM implementations, automated threat response playbooks, and detection use cases that enable teams to identify and contain threats at scale. Organizations building security operations centers receive detection rules, escalation workflows, and containment procedures that improve response speed and reduce impact.

Operational outcomes:

  • Detection rules with severity and owner mapping;
  • Escalation playbooks for high-impact incidents;
  • Containment and recovery metrics.

Andersen delivers AI/ML security programs covering model risk assessment, training data governance, and inference validation. Teams deploying LLMs or AI applications receive threat models for model theft and data poisoning, baselines for training and serving pipelines, and governance controls that ensure responsible deployment.

AI safeguards:

  • Prompt misuse and inference abuse testing;
  • Control baselines for training and serving flows;
  • Governance checks for high-risk releases.

Case studies

Andersen has delivered structured protection programs across healthcare, telecom, fintech, and enterprise IT. Each case below addresses a defined security risk and traces it to measurable outcomes.

USA

A healthcare provider engaged Andersen for continuous infrastructure management, rapid response, release management, and backup recovery on AWS. The engagement delivered measurable reliability improvements and faster support response times, keeping clinical operations stable.

Cloud platforms we secure

AWS security consulting

Andersen secures Amazon Web Services environments using IAM controls, GuardDuty, Security Hub, and CloudTrail monitoring. Typical scenario: a scaling product must eliminate privilege sprawl to meet audit requirements and reduce risk.

Azure security consulting

Our Microsoft Azure cloud security consulting services cover security architecture, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Sentinel detection use cases, and identity hardening. Typical scenario: a company extending Microsoft 365 security into product workloads needs a unified access and incident response model.

Google Cloud security services

Andersen delivers cloud security consulting services on Google Cloud with Security Command Center, Cloud IAM, and service perimeter controls. Typical scenario: a platform handling sensitive information needs security guardrails that preserve delivery speed and audit compliance.

Business benefits of cloud security services

Our cloud security consulting services connect security controls directly to business outcomes.

Lower risk of breaches and misconfigurations

Proactive control reviews reduce risk exposure from misconfiguration and weak privilege paths before incidents occur. IBM reports the average breach cost at $4.88M in 2024 — early, audit-ready remediation significantly reduces financial exposure.

Audit-ready regulatory compliance

Mapped controls and evidence routines help teams address compliance regulations — GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 — with fewer repeat findings. Continuous audit evidence collection makes compliance reviews more predictable and less disruptive.

Optimized cloud security spend

A cloud security consultancy delivers risk-ranked plans that shift budget from low-value tool overlap to higher-impact controls. Gartner reports that avoidable cloud waste exceeds 25% — targeted remediation improves protection coverage while reducing unnecessary spend.

Faster and safer cloud adoption

Engineering guardrails, policy templates, and release checks reduce rework during digital transformation. Teams can accelerate cloud migration and modernization with operational confidence.

Business resilience and continuity

Tested response playbooks and recovery procedures reduce outage duration when incidents occur. Structured preparedness protects revenue-critical services and keeps teams coordinated during disruption.
