01 · Review the cluster
Cluster architecture, RBAC, service accounts and admission controllers are reviewed against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark and NSA hardening guidance.
Cloud & Application
Cloud & Container Security Assessment
A comprehensive security assessment of Kubernetes platforms and containerized workloads, benchmarked against recognized hardening standards.
- 2 to 6 weeks Fixed assessment engagement window
- AI-assisted Vulnerability and RBAC analysis supported by automated scanning across every cluster
- 1 Executive report with a prioritized remediation roadmap
The challenge
More than half of organizations now run containers in production, up from just over forty percent two years ago, and a large majority of container images in production still carry critical or high-severity vulnerabilities from outdated base images nobody reviewed.
Approach
How the engagement works
02 · Assess images and secrets
Container images are assessed for vulnerabilities, alongside secrets management, workload identity, runtime configurations, and privileged container access controls.
03 · Report and prioritize
You receive an executive report with a prioritized remediation roadmap, risk-ranked findings, implementation guidance, validation recommendations, executive summaries, and remediation priorities.
How it works
From an unreviewed cluster to a prioritized hardening plan
What’s included
- Kubernetes cluster architecture review
- Assessment against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark
- RBAC and service account review
- Container image vulnerability assessment
- Secrets management and workload identity review
- Executive report with prioritized remediation roadmap
Outcomes
- Cluster weaknesses benchmarked against recognized standards, not assumed acceptable
- Vulnerable container images identified before they reach production
- A prioritized roadmap your team can act on immediately
Why Gruve
Kubernetes complexity hides risk in plain sight
This assessment finds it before an attacker does
A cluster can look like it is running fine while RBAC is over-permissioned, secrets sit unmanaged, and container images carry known vulnerabilities. This assessment benchmarks every layer, architecture, RBAC, images, and secrets, against recognized standards, so the risk is documented and prioritized instead of assumed away.
Gruve Differentiator
ruve Cloud & Container Security Assessment
No Dedicated Kubernetes Review
Business Requirements
Organizations that want their Kubernetes environment benchmarked properly
Organizations that have never had their cluster independently reviewed
Service Model
A structured review across architecture, RBAC, images and secrets
A structured review across architecture, RBAC, images and secrets
