Independent Cloud Security Audit for Australian AWS, Azure and GCP Estates

Australian businesses now run a majority of their workloads in AWS Sydney, Azure Australia East and Google Cloud Sydney regions. The result is a cloud estate of hundreds of accounts, subscriptions and projects, complex IAM and identity hierarchies, layered network architectures and a continuously expanding set of managed services. Misconfigurations in this environment are the single most common cause of Australian data breaches reported under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. APRA CPS 234, ASD Essential Eight, ISO 27001 and ASX governance audits all increasingly require an independent cloud security audit on file, separate from the cloud provider's own attestations.

Codesecure Solutions delivers independent cloud security audits for Australian AWS, Azure and Google Cloud estates from our Chennai cloud security practice. Every Australia engagement is delivered under a signed Australian-law NDA, with named cloud-certified consultants and a board-ready report mapped to ACSC Essential Eight, CIS Benchmarks, AWS Well-Architected Framework, Azure Cloud Adoption Framework, Google Cloud Architecture Framework, ISO 27001 and APRA CPS 234. Our consultants hold AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer and Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cloud provider attestations cover the security of the cloud, meaning the underlying platform. Customers remain accountable for security in the cloud, meaning their own configuration, IAM, network architecture and data handling. APRA CPS 234, ISO 27001, ACSC Essential Eight and ASX governance reviews all expect customers to provide independent evidence of their own cloud security posture, separate from cloud provider attestations. Codesecure delivers exactly that independent evidence under signed Australian-law NDA.

Codesecure publishes transparent AUD price bands. A small to mid-sized AWS, Azure or GCP estate audit typically runs AUD 8,000 to 18,000 fixed price. Larger enterprises with multiple cloud accounts, complex IAM structures and multi-region architectures run AUD 15,000 to 40,000. Multi-cloud audits across two or more providers attract a small premium. Every quote includes the configuration review, IAM audit, architecture review, board-ready report and free retest of critical and high findings.

No. Codesecure operates strictly with read-only auditor access provisioned for the duration of the engagement, with least-privilege roles and tightly scoped permissions. We never request or accept persistent admin access. Where active testing is required, scope and timing are pre-agreed and limited to non-production environments wherever possible. Access is revoked at the end of the engagement and confirmed in writing.

Yes. Codesecure runs multi-cloud audits regularly for Australian enterprises operating across two or more cloud providers. We use a unified control library mapped to ACSC Essential Eight, CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001 and APRA CPS 234 across all providers, with a single consolidated report covering all in-scope accounts. Multi-cloud audits typically save 20 to 30 percent against running parallel single-cloud audits.

Yes. Every Codesecure cloud security report is structured to be auditor-ready and is mapped to ACSC Essential Eight, CIS AWS/Azure/GCP Benchmarks, the cloud provider's well-architected framework, ISO 27001:2022 Annex A and APRA CPS 234 control expectations. We have supported APRA-regulated and ISO 27001 certified Australian customers through external audits using our cloud security reports as primary cloud control testing evidence.
