When you need it

You moved to the cloud.

  1. Your leaders

    "Isn't the cloud already secure?"

    You geta written split of what they cover and what you cover.

  2. Your customer

    "How is your cloud secured?"

    You geta clear design you can describe and defend.

  3. Your IT team

    "Who has admin access?"

    You geta full list of accounts and who can change what.

  4. Your auditor

    "Show us your cloud settings."

    You geta written baseline and a way to keep it.

What you get

A cloud setup you understand.

  • A cloud inventory

    Every account, and who has admin rights.

  • A target design

    How it should be set up, and what to fix first.

  • A responsibility split

    What your provider covers and what's yours.

  • A settings baseline

    And a simple process to keep it that way.

How it works

Simple, start to finish.

  1. We map what you have

    Every account and every admin.

  2. We design the fix

    Ranked by risk.

  3. We keep it governed

    With reviews as your cloud changes.

Questions

Cloud questions, answered.

Is our data secure because our cloud provider is certified?

No. Their certification covers their part. Your settings, accounts and data are still yours to protect.

Do you work with a specific cloud platform?

No. We work across the major platforms.

Does Heights implement the changes or design them?

We design the changes. Your team or provider makes them, and we check the result.
