Cloud cleanup

AWS and Azure access, cost, and baseline control cleanup audit

VXSec reviews cloud environments for idle resources, obvious rightsizing opportunities, over-permissive access, unused identities, missing budgets or alerts, and practical cleanup work that reduces cost and risk.

Scope One cloud provider, up to 3 accounts
Turnaround Typically 5 to 7 business days
Focus Access, cost waste, budgets, alerts, baseline hygiene

What the cloud audit covers

This is a focused cleanup review, not full-time cloud operations. The goal is to identify practical fixes your team can approve and implement quickly.

  • Idle or underused compute, storage, IP, snapshot, and database resources.
  • Obvious rightsizing and cleanup opportunities based on visible usage and spend.
  • IAM users, roles, keys, groups, and permissions that appear unused or over-permissive.
  • Missing budgets, alerts, tagging gaps, and basic cost guardrails.
  • Security group, network exposure, and baseline configuration issues visible in the scoped review.
  • Prioritized action plan with risk, effort, owner, and savings estimate where relevant.
Cost cleanup

Find obvious waste before it turns into another recurring budget line.

Access cleanup

Review identities, keys, roles, and permissions that may no longer be needed.

Guardrails

Check whether budgets, alerts, and basic controls are present.

Implementation

Approved cleanup can be handled as a separate fixed-fee project.
