What are the benefits of a Punk Security AWS Penetration Test?
Compliance & Risk
Some compliance frameworks require penetration tests to be performed as part of their controls. AWS penetration tests are a great way of proving your efforts in mitigating risk.
Customer Confidence
An AWS penetration test is a big indicator that you take security seriously. This helps your customers, partners, and stakeholders feel more confident.
Two Steps Ahead
A penetration test of your AWS environment allows you to have the upper hand against attackers. Identifying and resolving areas of weakness helps to reduce the risk of a successful attack.
Continuous Improvement
A security assessment of your AWS environment can highlight areas of potential improvement in your processes.

FAQs
Why use Punk Security for an AWS security assessment?
We really understand AWS, which makes the difference. This isn’t just another cloud security audit, you get experienced AWS assessors.
We don’t apply a generic approach to our assessment, we know the difference between network ACLs, network firewalls, and AWS security groups. We understand where AWS service should use assumed roles, rather than discrete credentials.
It’s these AWS nuances, and our expertise, that help you defend your AWS environment from hackers.
What does the process look like?
Following a quick call that allows us to understand your cloud environment, we’ll accurately estimate the time required to assess it. This is also a great opportunity for you to speak directly with one of our assessors to answer any questions you might have.
We’ll give you a fixed price quote there and then, and when you’re ready to proceed we’ll set a date for the assessment.
During the assessment, our expert assessors will thoroughly assess your environment and identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. These are prioritised by severity, and you’ll get the report back typically within a week.
How do we connect to your AWS environment?
For most of our assessments, we’ll provide you with instructions to configure a simple IAM role that allows our assessors to temporarily gain access to your account without any credentials having to be exchanged. We’ll discuss this on our scoping call, and other connection methods are possible.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY


Having attended a live hack demo held at C4DI we approached Punk Security to help sure-up our cyber security and DevOps processes. Punk not only completed this audit but passed on valuable gained knowledge to our team to broaden their skills and insight in this area.
We have since continued to work in partnership with Punk to implement a WAF and frequently consult their expertise in DevOps in relation to our application so we can all learn and grow in a collaborative way.
Punk are approachable, knowledgeable and also adept at explaining in layman’s terms for the less technical! We look forward to continuing our fruitful working relationship.
We initially reached out to Punk Security to help us out with our hosting architecture and were impressed with their breadth of knowledge.
With their expertise we were able to implement additional controls into AWS and successfully scale our systems. When we needed to gain more performance insights, their engineers configured our datadog platform end to end.
We’ve found that they really take the time to understand our problem and then put forward a great solution.
