Cloud Security & Compliance

At Akross IT, we provide end-to-end Cloud Security & Compliance services that help businesses protect cloud infrastructure, enforce governance, and stay compliant with evolving regulatory standards across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid clouds.

Our Cloud Security & Compliance Capabilities​​

Cloud Infrastructure Security
Secure your compute, storage, and network components with identity controls, encryption, microsegmentation, and continuous monitoring.

Configuration and Posture Management
Detect and remediate misconfigurations in real-time using tools like CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) analysis.

Data Protection and Encryption
Apply end-to-end encryption for data at rest, in transit, and during processing. Implement access controls, key management, and tokenization strategies.

Identity & Access Management (IAM)
Enforce least-privilege access, secure service-to-service interactions, and configure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across cloud platforms.

Compliance Framework Alignment
Ensure adherence to standards like ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and NIST by mapping cloud activities to control frameworks.

Cloud-Native Threat Detection
Leverage native tools (like AWS GuardDuty, Azure Defender, GCP Security Command Center) and third-party SIEM/XDR platforms for threat monitoring and alerting.

DevSecOps and Continuous Compliance
Embed security into CI/CD pipelines through automated scans, secret detection, policy enforcement, and container security.​

Our Cloud Security & Compliance Process​​


Cloud Security Assessment and Gap Analysis


We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your current cloud environments, architectures, workloads, and governance models.


Using automated and manual assessments, we identify misconfigurations, policy violations, and potential exposure points.


We benchmark your current state against best practices and relevant compliance frameworks to highlight security and compliance gaps.

Cloud Security Architecture and Governance Design


Based on assessment results, we design a secure cloud architecture tailored to your platform (AWS, Azure, GCP, or hybrid).


This includes setting up IAM roles and policies, network segmentation, encryption strategies, secure VPC design, and workload isolation. Governance rules are defined for resource tagging, usage monitoring, and access control enforcement.

Implementation of Security Controls and Tooling


We implement technical controls such as encryption, firewall rules, IAM configurations, and logging/monitoring agents.


Tools like CSPM, CNAPP, and SIEM are integrated to enforce continuous security and compliance monitoring.


For DevOps environments, we configure secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and security gates within pipelines.

Compliance Mapping and Documentation


Our team aligns your cloud operations with required compliance standards by mapping controls to audit requirements.


We produce documentation, policies, and evidence artifacts required for internal or third-party audits.


Automated tools help track compliance drift and ensure alignment with frameworks over time.

Continuous Monitoring and Real-Time Threat Detection


We enable 24/7 monitoring of logs, events, and API calls to detect and respond to threats in real-time. Machine learning models identify anomalies and unauthorized behavior, while alerts are sent to security teams for immediate action.


Security dashboards visualize posture, threats, and compliance metrics.

Incident Response and Forensics


If a security incident occurs, our team activates predefined response workflows to isolate affected assets, stop threats, and initiate forensic analysis.


We provide root cause analysis, containment actions, and remediation recommendations. Lessons learned are fed back into architecture improvements.

Policy Updates and Compliance Audits


Security and compliance requirements evolve—so do we. We conduct regular policy reviews, update controls based on new threats or regulations, and support ongoing internal or external audits.


Our goal is to ensure you're always protected, always compliant, and always audit-ready.

Compliance Standards We Help You Meet​​

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

Implement data subject rights, data residency, and breach notification requirements.

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)

Secure PHI and enable auditing across healthcare cloud workloads.

SOC 2 (Service Organization Controls)

Demonstrate controls for availability, security, confidentiality, and privacy.

PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)

Protect cardholder data across cloud-hosted payment systems.

ISO 27001 / NIST / FedRAMP

Maintain information security management and risk frameworks for enterprise and public-sector use.
