Cloud environments change quickly, so periodic reviews should cover public exposure, identity and access, secret storage, logging, network boundaries, and backup settings.

Apply least privilege and use stronger controls for privileged access

Review exceptions and temporary permissions rather than allowing them to become permanent

Centralize security-relevant logs where practical and verify that alerts reach an accountable person

Automated checks can help identify drift, but findings still need context, ownership, and remediation

Review changes in a controlled process and test critical recovery paths.

Keep the context in mind
