A full-infrastructure AWS cloud security audit for a crypto-friendly neobank, covering compute, storage, database, networking, and IAM from the root account down.
Cloud storage buckets publicly readable, exposing user and operational data to the open internet.
Unencrypted EBS volumes and database snapshots storing sensitive user financial data.
Root AWS account accessed and used without MFA, putting the highest-privilege credentials at risk.
User accounts without MFA across the AWS environment.
Load balancer transmitting data in clear-text over HTTP, exposing user traffic to interception.
Database clusters publicly accessible and unencrypted, with short backup retention reducing recovery options.
IAM policy misconfigurations, unused credentials, weak password policies, and unused security groups.
Critical public data exposure was resolved. IAM, encryption, and network security posture were significantly improved on retest.
Fintech companies on AWS or any major cloud provider.
Neobanks and digital financial services with cloud-first architecture.
Companies pre-fundraising or pre-audit needing a comprehensive cloud hygiene review.
Every layer an attacker could reach: compute instances, storage buckets, database clusters, network configuration, load balancers, and the IAM policies governing who and what can act on any of it.
More common than most teams expect, especially in accounts that grew quickly. It is also one of the highest-severity findings possible, since the root account has no ceiling on what it can do.
Anything unused is untested and unmonitored by definition. It sits in the environment as standing risk with no operational benefit, which makes it a common target and an easy one to remove.
A retest cycle against the same findings once fixes land, so remediation is confirmed rather than assumed.
