Overview
Most cloud breaches result from misconfiguration and excessive permissions rather than provider failures. We secure cloud environments with least-privilege IAM, secure network design, encryption by default, centralised logging, posture management, threat detection and guardrails as code — across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Common use cases
- Cloud security assessmentIdentifying misconfigurations and risks.
- Secure landing zoneSecurity built into cloud foundations.
- Posture managementContinuous configuration monitoring.
- Incident readinessLogging and response in cloud.
Quick answers
Cloud Security at a glance
The essentials in brief. Every project is scoped individually — ask us for specifics.
- What is cloud security?
- Cloud security architecture and posture management — IAM, network controls, encryption, logging and threat detection.
- Who is it for?
- Typically companies migrating to the cloud, teams whose releases are slow or risky, and organisations that need stronger reliability, security or cost control.
- What does Shivacha provide?
- IAM hardening
- Network security
- Encryption
- Logging
- Posture management
- Guardrails
- Which technologies are used?
- OWASP, HashiCorp Vault, Keycloak, OAuth 2.0 & OIDC, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure — chosen to fit your stack and constraints.
- How does the process work?
- Assess → Prioritise → Implement → Test → Monitor.
- What affects the cost?
- Number of applications and environments
- Compliance and data-residency requirements
- Availability and recovery objectives
- Existing automation and IaC maturity
- Multi-cloud or hybrid scope
- Ongoing managed-service needs
- How long does it take?
- Assessments take 2–4 weeks; platform builds and migrations are usually delivered in 2–6 month phases.
- How do I get started?

Capabilities
What we deliver
IAM hardening
Least privilege and role design.
Network security
Segmentation and private connectivity.
Encryption
Data encryption at rest and in transit.
Logging
Centralised, tamper-resistant logs.
Posture management
Automated misconfiguration detection.
Guardrails
Preventive policies as code.
Architecture
Engineered right from day one
The layers we typically design for cybersecurity, adapted to your stack and partners.
- Shift leftSecurity checks in pipelines catch issues before production.
- Identity is the perimeterStrong identity and least privilege over network trust.
- Framework-alignedControls mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2 or PCI DSS where relevant; certification by accredited auditors.
- Practised responseIncident runbooks rehearsed, not just written.
Delivery
How an engagement runs
- 1
Assess
Threat model, current controls and gaps against relevant frameworks.
- 2
Prioritise
Risk-ranked roadmap focused on the highest-impact controls first.
- 3
Implement
Controls built into infrastructure, pipelines and applications.
- 4
Test
Penetration tests, configuration reviews and attack simulations.
- 5
Monitor
Continuous detection, alerting and incident response procedures.
Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Infrastructure as code
Every change reviewed, versioned and reproducible.
Identity & network
Least-privilege IAM, private networking and zero-trust access.
Secrets & encryption
Central secrets management and encryption by default.
Monitoring
Alerting, audit logs and incident runbooks from day one.

Frequently asked questions
Is the cloud provider responsible for security?
Responsibility is shared: providers secure the infrastructure; you secure configurations, identities, data and applications.
How quickly can misconfigurations be found?
Posture management tools detect many within minutes; we tune them to your environment.
Is Shivacha a certified security firm?
Shivacha does not currently claim security certifications. We implement technical controls and security engineering; where certification or attestation is required, it is performed by accredited third parties.
Do you offer penetration testing?
Yes, as part of security engineering engagements — scoped application, API and cloud testing with remediation guidance and re-testing.
