Summary

Hide ▲

Cloud audits, when integrated early in the cloud transformation process, can act as strategic allies rather than obstacles. This approach helps identify and mitigate risks such as misconfigured buckets, overprivileged identities, and undocumented access flows before they become critical issues. By embedding audit teams early, organizations can pressure-test design decisions, review IAM strategies, and evaluate third-party risks proactively. This shift from enforcement to enablement fosters a collaborative environment where audits support cloud security and innovation. A recent case demonstrated how early involvement of the audit team prevented a potential security breach by identifying and fixing a gap in data encryption before the first workload moved to the cloud.
