Frequently Asked Questions

A structured, independent assessment of cloud infrastructure, configurations, access controls, and monitoring practices. It produces technical findings report and an executive security summary.

A penetration test exploits vulnerabilities to confirm real-world impact. A Cloud Security Audit is a broader governance and configuration review assessing overall security posture and control effectiveness. QRC recommends cloud security audits as the foundation, with penetration testing as a targeted follow-up to validate exploitability of specific findings. Both services are available from QRC.

QRC assesses AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and hybrid or multi-cloud environments. Each platform is evaluated using platform-native tooling alongside manual expert review.

Typically 5 to 15 business days from kickoff to report delivery. Timeline depends on cloud accounts in scope, workload range, and the chosen program.

Two deliverables: a Technical Cloud Security Assessment Report with severity-rated findings for engineering teams, and an Executive Security Summary for CISO and board-level briefings.
