Secure cloud adoption at the speed the business actually needs.
Cloud security services are managed technical controls, continuous monitoring, and governance programs that protect an organization's data, workloads, and identities across cloud platforms — including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Microsoft 365. Because cloud environments change constantly, effective security cannot rely on point-in-time reviews; it requires automated posture management, real-time threat detection, and enforced guardrails that move at the same pace as the infrastructure itself.
End-to-end cloud security across every major cloud platform. Advisory, implementation, managed monitoring, and incident response, designed to balance agility with risk mitigation. Compliance evidence, reduced exposure, and continuous posture visibility built into the operating model.
Cloud security across the full lifecycle.
Cloud adoption has moved past experimentation. Workloads are running at scale, multi-cloud is the operating reality for most enterprises, and the velocity of migration consistently outpaces the maturity of security controls. The result is a widening capability gap: environments grow faster than the team can govern them, configurations drift continuously, and posture visibility lags behind the rate of change.
Armour Cybersecurity's Cloud Security Services close that gap with a four-pillar operating model: advisory (posture assessment, governance, compliance readiness, third-party risk), implementation (CSPM, security guardrails, infrastructure hardening, DevSecOps integration), managed services (threat monitoring, vulnerability management, DLP, continuous compliance), and incident response (breach response, forensics, simulations, recovery planning). Engagements span single-cloud, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments, and the methodology is technology-agnostic across all major cloud platforms.
The methodology is grounded in zero trust and defense-in-depth principles, automation of security and compliance, clear separation of platform and application security ownership, and security baselines that hold up as the cloud estate scales. The goal is not a snapshot of compliance. It is a continuous operating model that keeps pace with how fast the environment changes.
Configuration drift vs. continuous posture control.
The difference between organizations that scale cloud securely and those that accumulate hidden exposure usually comes down to whether security can match the velocity of cloud change.
Cloud growing faster than the controls protecting it.
New accounts spin up across business units. Configurations drift continuously. IAM permissions accumulate beyond least privilege. Storage buckets become misconfigured and stay that way for months. Developers ship faster than security can review. Compliance evidence is reconstructed manually before each audit. Nobody has a single view of posture across the multi-cloud estate. The first sign of a problem is a finding from an external party: a customer, a regulator, or a threat actor.
Continuous monitoring, automated guardrails, and a security operating model that scales with the cloud.
A Cloud Security Posture Assessment establishes the baseline. CSPM deployment provides continuous visibility across the multi-cloud estate. Guardrails prevent risky configurations from being deployed in the first place. Infrastructure hardening, IAM governance, and DevSecOps integration embed security into the way the cloud operates. Managed threat monitoring covers the operational layer. Incident response is available when an event occurs. Posture is a continuous control surface, not a once-a-year project.
The shared responsibility line, platform by platform.
Every cloud provider secures the infrastructure; you remain responsible for identity, configuration, and data. Here is where that line falls across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Microsoft 365 — and how the two main cloud security tool layers, CSPM and CWPP, differ.
| Platform | Provider secures | You / Armour secure |
|---|---|---|
| AWS | Physical infrastructure, hypervisor, managed-service availability | IAM policy, S3 permissions, security groups, CloudTrail config, workload hardening |
| Microsoft Azure | Data-centre hardware, fabric, platform availability | Entra ID roles, NSG rules, Defender for Cloud config, key vault access, workload agents |
| Google Cloud | Hardware, network fabric, GKE control plane | IAM bindings, VPC firewall rules, Security Command Center, workload runtime controls |
| Microsoft 365 | Uptime, platform encryption at rest | Conditional Access, Defender for Office 365, DLP policies, Secure Score remediation, privileged identity management |
CSPM vs. CWPP: what each tool layer does
| Capability | CSPM (posture management) | CWPP (workload protection) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Cloud configuration and compliance drift | Runtime threat detection inside workloads |
| What it catches | Misconfigured buckets, open ports, excessive IAM roles, policy violations | Malware, memory exploits, unauthorized code execution, lateral movement |
| When it fires | Before a threat materializes (preventive) | During active execution (detective / responsive) |
| Who needs it | Any organization running cloud infrastructure | Organizations running containers, VMs, or serverless workloads |
In 2026, CSPM and CWPP increasingly ship together as a unified Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). Enterprise cloud security spend ranges widely — roughly $15,000 to $2M+ per year depending on platform mix, log volume, and coverage.

What the program covers.
Nine integrated capabilities across the four service pillars, calibrated to the organization's cloud footprint, regulatory profile, and stage of cloud adoption.
Cloud Posture Assessment
Analysis of the current security state across the cloud estate, identifying risks, configuration drift, IAM exposure, data classification gaps, and the highest-impact remediation opportunities.
Cloud Governance & Strategy
Governance structures and strategic roadmaps for secure cloud operations, including role definitions across platform and application security teams, decision rights, and operating cadence.
Cloud Security Posture Management
CSPM deployment for continuous monitoring of cloud configurations, automated compliance checks against ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and real-time alerts on configuration drift and risk exposure.
Security Guardrails & Baselines
Preventative guardrails that enforce policy compliance and prevent risky configurations from being deployed. Security baselines and standards established across cloud services and platforms.
Infrastructure Security Hardening
Cloud infrastructure hardening aligned with CIS Benchmarks and platform-specific guidance, covering identity, network, storage, compute, secrets management, and logging configuration.
DevSecOps Integration
Integration of security into the development lifecycle through SAST, SCA, container scanning, and infrastructure-as-code review, so vulnerabilities are surfaced before code reaches production.
Managed Cloud Threat Monitoring
24/7 monitoring, detection, and response to cloud-specific threats, with continuous vulnerability management, regular scans, and remediation across the cloud estate.
Cloud DLP & Compliance Management
Data loss prevention to monitor, detect, and prevent unauthorized data transfer in the cloud. Continuous compliance monitoring across regulatory frameworks with audit-ready evidence generation.
