What GCP services do you cover?
IAM bindings and service-account keys, Cloud Storage, Compute, GKE, Cloud Run and Functions, VPC and firewall design, metadata services and secret management — tested from outside and within, depending on scope.
Penetration Testing / GCP
GCP Penetration Testing
Security assessment of Google Cloud Platform services and configurations
What we test
Scope of testing.
- IAM bindings, service-account keys and privilege-escalation paths
- Exposed Cloud Storage, metadata-service abuse and SSRF into the control plane
- GKE cluster, workload and network-policy hardening
- VPC design, firewall rules, Cloud Run / Functions and secret management
Process
Mapped to the five phases.
The same discipline applies across every discipline we test.
- 01
Scoping
Define assets, rules of engagement, timelines and testing type (black / grey / white box).
- 02
Discovery
Reconnaissance, enumeration, threat modelling and attack surface mapping.
- 03
Testing
Vulnerability identification and controlled exploitation to confirm impact.
- 04
Reporting
Findings with CVSS scoring, evidence, business impact and remediation steps.
- 05
Re-test
Verification of fixes and issuance of a closure report.
FAQ
GCP: common questions.
Straight answers on scope, method and deliverables.
How do you test Google Cloud safely?
Cloud testing is configuration-driven and read-heavy: we analyse IAM bindings and policy first, then validate specific exploit paths with minimal, agreed changes.
Do you test privilege-escalation paths?
Yes. Service-account key handling, role chains and metadata-service abuse are specifically probed — small IAM mistakes are what attackers escalate first.
