CloudTwyst · Studio · EU SaaS

Security assessment for regulated EU businesses — in minutes, not months.

CloudTwyst Security Assess is a SaaS platform that automatically assesses an organisation's cloud environment against NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001. It connects read-only to your cloud tenants, evaluates live configuration and control evidence, and returns a mapped compliance posture with gaps and remediation guidance — in minutes rather than the months a traditional scoped assessment takes. Subscription-based, continuous, and audit-ready.

CloudTwyst Security Assess

A cloud security assessment platform for organisations that need to understand their security posture across Azure, AWS, and GCP against NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA, and GDPR — with a governed path from gap to remediation to sign-off.

How CloudTwyst Assess works.

Six interconnected capability layers — from data ingestion to sign-off and purge. Each is independently testable; together they form a complete governed assessment pipeline.

01 — Cloud Connector
Read-only Data Ingestion — Azure, AWS & GCP
The connector runs inside the customer's own cloud environment, calls cloud provider APIs locally, and securely submits collected security posture data to CloudTwyst Assess via a single ingest endpoint. CloudTwyst never connects to the customer's cloud directly — no inbound connections, no persistent access.
  • Azure — PowerShell connector with Managed Identity ARM template
  • AWS — lightweight script with read-only IAM role, Security Hub & Config
  • GCP — Service Account with Security Command Center read scope
  • 4-hour short-lived engagement token scopes each submission to one assessment
  • TLS validation + connector version enforcement on every submission
02 — Framework Scoring
NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA & GDPR
Ingested data is evaluated against four major compliance frameworks. Per-control gap analysis produces a posture score, findings list, and prioritised remediation backlog.
  • NIS2 Article 21 controls mapped and scored
  • ISO 27001:2022 Annex A control evaluation
  • DORA ICT risk management and resilience controls
  • GDPR technical safeguard assessment
  • Per-framework posture score + gap count
03 — Assessment Lifecycle
State Machine from Draft to Purge
Every assessment follows a governed state machine with clearly defined transitions, sign-off gates, and an automatic or manual purge path at the end of the engagement.
  • States: draft → collecting → assessed → remediating → report_delivered → signed_off → purged
  • Two-step sign-off with out-of-band OTP confirmation
  • 30-day grace period after sign-off (configurable)
  • 90-day hard TTL catches abandoned engagements
  • Manual purge available immediately (right to erasure)
04 — Report Engine
Word, PowerPoint, CSV & ADO Export
Assessment findings exported as board-ready reports in multiple formats. Azure DevOps work item creation for gap-to-ticket automation at the end of the assessment.
  • Word (.docx) — full findings narrative report
  • PowerPoint (.pptx) — executive presentation deck
  • CSV — raw gap data for tooling import
  • ADO — one work item per gap; PAT never stored
  • Optional: trigger IaC pipeline after work item creation
05 — Enterprise Remediation
Runbook Gallery & Automation Webhooks
For regulated customers, CloudTwyst Assess can trigger remediation entirely inside the customer's own environment — across Azure, AWS, and GCP. CloudTwyst never gains write access to any customer environment.
  • Azure: signed PowerShell runbooks imported to customer's Automation Account
  • AWS: Systems Manager Automation documents in the customer's account
  • GCP: Cloud Run Jobs triggered via customer-provided webhook URL
  • Job outcome (success/fail) received via callback — nothing more
  • Gated behind enterprise licence flag + explicit customer opt-in
06 — Data Custody & Security
Transient Custody, Encryption & Audit
CloudTwyst Security Assess is a transient custodian of customer security metadata. Per-assessment encryption keys, crypto-shredding on purge, and a chain-hashed immutable audit log throughout the engagement lifecycle.
  • Per-assessment Fernet data key (column-level encryption)
  • KMS abstraction: local env var or Azure Key Vault RSA-OAEP
  • Crypto-shredding on purge — encrypted backups become unreadable
  • Append-only, chain-hashed audit log with external sink (Azure Monitor / webhook)
  • Multi-tenant row-level isolation enforced at every endpoint

Everything needed for a governed cloud security assessment — from day one.

CloudTwyst Assess ships with all the components required to run a complete, auditable cloud security assessment against four compliance frameworks. No configuration marathon before you can start.

4 compliance frameworks pre-scored
NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA, and GDPR controls mapped to cloud provider security data across Azure, AWS, and GCP — no manual control mapping required at engagement start.
Cloud Connectors — Azure, AWS & GCP
Provider-specific read-only connectors for all three major clouds. No write access, no agents, minimum declared scopes — deployed in minutes.
Word, PowerPoint & CSV report templates
Board-ready executive reports and findings exports generated directly from assessment data — no manual formatting after the engagement.
Enterprise remediation — all three clouds
Azure Automation Runbooks, AWS Systems Manager documents, and GCP Cloud Run Jobs — triggered inside the customer's own environment. CloudTwyst never holds write access.
Complete RBAC model — 5 roles
platform_admin, assessor, customer_admin, customer_viewer, and auditor — JWT-based, enforced at every endpoint. Activate with AUTH_ENABLED=true.
3 data retention paths pre-configured
Sign-off + 30-day grace, 90-day hard TTL for abandoned engagements, and immediate manual purge — all with crypto-shredding and audit stub on purge.

Assess tells you what is wrong. Closing it is a different job.

Most gaps close from the runbook gallery and the ADO backlog Assess hands you. Some don't — where the finding is architectural rather than a misconfiguration, no automated remediation will fix it, and you need someone to redesign the control. That is what CloudTwyst Security Services does, as a separate fixed-scope engagement.

Neither depends on the other. You can run Assess without ever engaging the services practice, and we will tell you when a finding does not need us.
