Cloud Risk Management

Protect your critical Infrastructure on the Cloud.

Cloud Risk Management

Cloud Risk Management is the process of assessing, securing, and managing all kinds of risks related to Cloud computing. It includes assessment across your organization’s cloud footprint. The Risk Management process involves evaluating the organization’s competency to deliver services within a set timeframe and demonstrate commitment to security and privacy levels. Cloud Risk Management helps organizations understand the risks associated with cloud computing services. It helps organizations make necessary security changes and align their business operations. It also helps in making informed decisions on cloud computing services if you plan to outsource. Effectively implemented, Cloud Risk Management facilitates operational efficiencies and drive business growth.

Our Approach to Cloud Risk – CCM / CStar / ISO27017

Initial Study

We conduct an initial study of your business and understand your growth plans, current pain areas, and business goals. This will enable us to consolidate the Cloud scope thereby helping you reduce cost and time of rollout.

Scope Definition

Our team will help you identify and understand appropriate cloud platform models: IAAS, PAAS, SAAS, etc. We further support your management in Scope Definition which includes setting timelines, responsibilities, and budget for the implementation.

Data Flow Analysis

We identify all point of presence of your data in the Cloud and further map who accesses or can access your sensitive data. We also document the geographical distribution of your data.

Regulatory and Process Check

Our experts assess the regulatory and statutory requirements and compliance levels of your Cloud Provider.

DR Check

We also assess the Disaster Readiness of your Cloud Provider and ensure Business Continuity in case of an incident.

Topology Check

Our team assesses the network design, virtualization topology (if any), intrusion detection checks, failover controls, etc. as per your business requirements.

Assess your Cloud Provider's

We thoroughly assess User management processes, Data isolation across the host of clients serviced by the provider, Data Backup and restoration strategies, Data Encryption and decryption processes, Data Classification, Management of data at offsite locations.

VA/PT

Our team of assessors conduct an internal/external Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing of the Cloud Infrastructure.

Documented Milestones

Document well-defined milestones with Roles and responsibilities of your transition to the Cloud.

Rolling Out Recommendations

Since any Cloud rollout involves heavy interaction of Technology, our Infrastructure Advisory Services team shall support your internal team in rolling out the recommendations such as sanitized CDE (Card Data Environment) processing room, network segregation, log correlation, encryption, SIEM, product POC, NAC/WAF assessment, IPV6, etc.

Pre-Assessment

After a reasonable gestation period, a separate team of experts conduct a Pre-assessment of your setup.

Cloud Certification

Once all controls are confirmed to be in place, we issue a legally admissible CStar or equivalent certificate of Compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions on Cloud Risk – CCM / CStar / ISO27017

What is cloud risk management?

Cloud risk management is the process of identifying, assessing and mitigating risks introduced by using cloud services, including misconfiguration, insecure identity/access controls, data exposure, and compliance gaps.

Which cloud environments do you assess?

Our assessment covers leading frameworks including Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), CStar, and ISO/IEC 27017. We help you align your controls with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

What is the typical process for a Cloud Risk Assessment?

The process includes defining scope, mapping controls, reviewing configurations, identifying risks, and delivering a prioritized remediation plan with validation and support.

How long does it take to complete a Cloud Risk Assessment?

Assessment timelines depend on scope and complexity. For most cloud environments, assessments are completed within 4–8 weeks, including reporting and remediation guidance.

What deliverables are provided after the assessment?

Deliverables include a detailed risk register, control gap report, framework mapping matrix, remediation roadmap, and an executive summary highlighting key findings and recommendations.
