Cloud Configuration Review
A focused, expert review of your cloud account configuration against security best practice. We examine identity, storage, network and logging settings to find the risky defaults and drift that leave the door ajar.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.
Signed authorization required. This engagement is performed only against systems you own or are contractually authorized to have tested, under an agreed scope. See the responsible testing policy.

Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Signed scope firstTesting starts only after written scope and signed authorization for systems you own or are entitled to have tested.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries

How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- How is this different from full CSPM?
- This is a focused, point-in-time expert review at a fixed price — ideal for a single account or a specific concern. CSPM is the ongoing, estate-wide programme. Many clients start here.
- What does the fixed price cover?
- A configuration review of a single cloud account against best-practice benchmarks. Larger multi-account estates are quoted transparently.
- What do you need from us?
- Authorised read-only access to the cloud account (a security-audit role is ideal) and any specific concerns you want prioritised.

Cloud Penetration Testing
The cloud shifts the security model, and misconfigurations are the new default vulnerability. We test your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud environment for exploitable weaknesses — from exposed storage to over-privileged roles to escape paths.
