Cloud & AWS Testing Services

A misconfigured security group, a broken auto-scaling policy, or an untested failover path can take your entire application offline in seconds. These bugs never show up in development. They surface under real production load, during a traffic spike, or worse, during an actual incident.

RTO Target

Your cloud works in staging. What about under real pressure?

We test your AWS infrastructure the way real incidents test it. Normal load, sudden spikes, component failures, region failovers, and full disaster recovery. If something is going to break, we find it before your users do.

That includes Terraform and CloudFormation validation, AWS service configurations, auto-scaling rules, security groups, IAM policies, and DR procedures. You get a clear picture of what holds up and what needs fixing.

Our Approach

How We Test This Platform

A structured process with clear deliverables at every stage.

We review your architecture first

We go through your AWS architecture, IaC code, and security configuration to understand what you have, find the risk areas, and plan the test scenarios that actually matter.

We scan your IaC before it deploys

Static analysis of your Terraform and CloudFormation code catches security misconfigurations, deprecated resources, and best practice violations before anything hits a real environment.

We validate every AWS service config

We deploy into a non-production environment and verify each AWS service behaves the way it is configured. If a setting is wrong, we find it here.

We run chaos engineering experiments

We inject controlled failures: terminating instances, blocking network paths, simulating service outages. Then we watch how the system responds and document every gap.

We audit security groups and IAM policies

Both automated scanning and manual review of security groups, IAM roles, and network configs. We look for misconfigurations, overly broad permissions, and anything that could be exploited.

We test your disaster recovery for real

We simulate actual failure scenarios, fail over to secondary regions, restore from backups, and measure your real RTO and RPO against the targets you have set.

Real Bug Examples

Real Bug Examples We Catch on Cloud & AWS

Real issues we find regularly. bugs that cost businesses money or reputation.

Security group allowing 0.0.0.0/0 on sensitive ports

Impact:Complete public exposure

Auto-scaling not triggering until too late

Impact:Outage during traffic spikes

S3 bucket publicly readable

Impact:Data breach

RDS backup never tested, so restoration fails when needed

Impact:Data loss during incident

Lambda timeout too short for complex operations

Impact:Silent failure on large requests

IAM role with wildcard * permissions

Impact:Privilege escalation risk

01Do you work in our actual AWS account?

We work in your non-production environments (dev, staging). For security testing we use a separate sandbox account. We never touch your production environment.

02Can you test multi-cloud setups like AWS plus Azure or GCP?

03What exactly is chaos engineering?

04Do you test Kubernetes on EKS or ECS?

05How do you actually validate disaster recovery?
