Cluster-Native Review

Kubernetes Security Assessment

A technical review of cluster configuration, RBAC, network policy, and workload isolation — with remediation your platform team can implement directly.

Why Kubernetes needs a dedicated review

RBAC, network policy, secrets management, and image/supply-chain provenance are risk classes specific to cluster orchestration — a generic infrastructure or network assessment won't surface them with the depth they need. This assessment is scoped specifically to how Kubernetes environments actually fail.

What's assessed

Common findings

Generalized patterns we see repeatedly — not specific to any client, and not a promise of what we'll find in your environment: overly permissive RBAC bindings, missing or default network policies, default service-account usage where a scoped account should exist, and unverified image sources reaching production namespaces.

Fit for enterprise onboarding

SaaS platforms preparing for an enterprise customer's security review commonly use this assessment to get ahead of the questionnaire — a documented review with remediated findings is often exactly what's being asked for.

KUBERNETES SECURITY ASSESSMENT — FAQ

Is Kubernetes included in a standard infrastructure assessment?

Not by default — cluster-specific risk classes like RBAC, network policy, and image provenance need dedicated review methodology that a generic infrastructure assessment doesn't cover. This is a separate, focused engagement.

What is assessed?

Cluster configuration, RBAC bindings, network policies, ingress/egress rules, secrets handling, image and registry hygiene, and workload isolation boundaries.

Do you need cluster-admin access?

Read access scoped to the relevant namespaces and cluster configuration is typically sufficient — we scope exact access requirements with your platform team before starting, not after.

Can this run against a production cluster?

Yes — this is a configuration and architecture review, not an exploitation exercise against live workloads, so production risk is minimal by design.

Do you support multi-cluster or multi-cloud Kubernetes environments?

Yes. Tell us your topology during scoping (managed vs. self-hosted, cloud provider, cluster count) and we confirm coverage before you commit.

Is this relevant if we're preparing for an enterprise customer security review?

Yes — this is one of the most common triggers for this engagement. A documented Kubernetes assessment with remediated findings is often exactly what an enterprise customer's security questionnaire is asking for.

Do you provide remediation, or just findings?

The findings report includes remediation guidance your platform team can implement directly. Hands-on implementation support is available as part of Vulnerability Remediation.
