Approach

Our review process is systematic and tailored to your environment. It typically includes:

• Static Image Analysis
  Examination of the VM image filesystem for exposed secrets, hardcoded credentials, personal data, and sensitive configuration files.
• Vulnerability Scanning
  Automated and manual detection of known vulnerabilities in installed software and packages.
• Security Configuration Review
  Inspection of OS-level security settings, services, and access controls.
• Compliance Checks
  Verification against industry benchmarks such as GDPR, NIST, NIS2, or your internal standards.
• Custom Scripts and Artefacts Review
  Evaluation of initialisation scripts, user data, and embedded tooling for security risks.

Each image is analysed offline to avoid runtime risk and ensure a safe, non-intrusive process.

Key Benefits

• Reduced Attack Surface
  Identify and fix vulnerabilities before deployment.
• Improved Compliance
  Ensure your images align with internal and industry-specific security standards.
• Operational Confidence
  Avoid surprises during runtime or audits by validating your image security early.
• Lower Incident Risk
  Prevent hardcoded secrets or misconfigurations from causing security incidents in production.
• Increased Trust
  Strengthen confidence among DevOps, security teams, and third-party stakeholders.
