Cloud Security, Held to an Engineering Standard
CloudTar exists because too much of this industry sells dashboards and calls it defence. We do the unglamorous part — finding what is actually exposed, fixing it properly, and keeping watch afterwards.
Why We Started
Everyone working here has spent time on the other side of this relationship — inside organizations, receiving the reports. We watched vendors deliver four-hundred-page findings documents that nobody could act on, alert feeds that trained good engineers to ignore notifications, and compliance programmes that produced certificates without producing security.
The pattern was consistent. The tooling was rarely the problem. What was missing was someone willing to do the judgement work: deciding what genuinely mattered, in this environment, for this business, and then owning the fix rather than handing over a list.
So that is what CloudTar does. We secure cloud environments the way they are actually built — identity as the perimeter, infrastructure as code, workloads that exist for minutes — and we stay accountable for the outcome rather than the deliverable. When an alert fires at 3 AM, someone competent is already looking at it.
What We Hold To
Four commitments that decide how we behave when the engagement gets inconvenient — which is when they actually matter.
Say the boring truth
If a control you already own would solve the problem, we will tell you that instead of scoping a project. The advice is the product; the engagement is what follows when you need it.
Fix causes, not counts
Closing four hundred findings means nothing if the pipeline that produced them is unchanged. We would rather remove the mechanism than clear the list.
Leave it maintainable
Everything we build is documented and reproducible. If you replaced us tomorrow, your team could run what we deployed without reverse-engineering it.
Escalate early
Bad news does not improve with age. If something has gone wrong — ours or yours — you hear about it immediately, in plain terms, with options attached.
A Straightforward Engagement
Every engagement follows the same four steps — so you always know what happens next and what you get at the end of it.
Assess
We map what you actually run — accounts, identities, data paths, and exposure — and rank every finding by what an attacker could reach and what it would cost you.
Prioritise
You get a plan in plain language: what to fix this week, what can wait a quarter, and what is genuinely fine as it is. No inflated severity counts.
Remediate
We implement the fixes alongside your team, as code wherever possible, so the same misconfiguration cannot quietly reappear next month.
Watch
Monitoring goes live across workloads and identities. Real analysts triage what fires, contain what matters, and report back monthly.
Find Out What's Exposed Before Someone Else Does
Start with an assessment of your cloud environment. You get a prioritised findings report and a remediation plan you can act on — with us or without us.
