01
IAM sprawl
Users, services, and workloads have excessive or inconsistent permissions.
Solution
Security and Compliance Readiness for cloud environments built on stronger controls
CloudSpikes helps organizations assess cloud security posture, improve IAM and governance, harden infrastructure, strengthen logging, and prepare practical compliance workflows.
The Problem
Compliance readiness starts with consistent cloud controls.
Security and compliance pressure increases when access, policies, logging, hardening, and evidence are inconsistent across cloud environments.
02
Weak governance
Policy and ownership are unclear across accounts, projects, or subscriptions.
03
Incomplete logging
Security events and operational evidence are not captured consistently.
04
Configuration drift
Cloud resources move away from hardened baselines over time.
05
Audit pressure
Teams lack the evidence and workflows needed for compliance preparation.
06
Manual control checks
Security reviews rely too heavily on manual inspection and spreadsheets.
Our Approach
A readiness model for stronger cloud governance and evidence.
CloudSpikes reviews cloud controls, IAM, logging, hardening, governance, and operational workflows to create a practical readiness roadmap and implement priority improvements.

FAQ
Common questions about security compliance readiness solution.
What does security and compliance readiness include?
It includes assessment, IAM review, governance gaps, hardening recommendations, logging review, policy controls, and readiness roadmap.
Do you perform formal compliance certification?
CloudSpikes helps with readiness and technical controls, but formal certification depends on the relevant auditor or compliance body.
Can you help with IAM cleanup?
Yes. We review access patterns, roles, service accounts, least-privilege controls, and ownership.
Do you review logging and audit trails?
Yes. We assess whether security and operational events are captured consistently enough for monitoring and evidence.
Can controls be automated?
Yes. We recommend guardrails, policy checks, IaC reviews, and automated workflows where appropriate.
Which cloud platforms are supported?
CloudSpikes supports AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and multi-cloud environments.
