Kubernetes Security

Kubernetes Audit

A focused audit that blends configuration review with adversarial testing. We uncover misconfigurations, prove exploitability, review third-party security posture when open source, and leave your platform team with a clear, prioritized plan to harden clusters and workloads.

Where we go deep

Manual review backed by proven checklists. Findings are tied to real-world attack chains so your team knows what to fix first.

Request sample report

Cluster posture & access

  • API server, etcd, and control-plane flag review
  • RBAC, groups, and service account scoping
  • Audit log coverage and retention

Workload security

  • Pod Security Admission and baseline/strict policy gaps
  • Container images, admission controls, and build provenance
  • Secrets management and data protection paths

Networking & resilience

  • NetworkPolicies, ingress/egress guardrails, and east-west paths
  • Ingress, service mesh, and API gateways hardening
  • Backup/restore tests for etcd, workloads, and registries

Engagement approach

A tight loop with your platform and security teams—evidence-driven, transparent, and ready for follow-up testing.

Discovery & scoping

We map clusters, tenants, and critical workloads, and agree on in-scope namespaces and attack surfaces.

Configuration audit

Manual review of manifests and control-plane settings backed by curated checks for CIS Kubernetes and vendor benchmarks.

Pentest-style validation

Privilege escalation, lateral movement, and breakout attempts to prove real risk and prioritize fixes that matter.

Hardening roadmap

Actionable fixes with owners, effort, and sample manifests—ready to drop into GitOps pipelines or IaC templates.

What you receive

Evidence you can ship to leadership and engineers without extra translation work.

Risk-ranked findings

Clear severity, exploit paths, and business impact with links to affected manifests or cluster settings.

Remediation playbook

Patch-ready YAML snippets, admission policies, and guardrails you can apply in GitOps or CI/CD today.

Validation retest

Optional verification to prove fixes hold—covering both configuration changes and exploit attempts.

Security focus

RBAC design, admission controls, Pod Security, and cluster hardening against known attack chains.

Network segmentation, service mesh policies, and secrets handling validated against best practices.

Delivery model

Threat-driven test cases mapped to your workloads and namespaces.

Actionable Jira-ready tickets with owners, effort, and evidence attachments.
