Before embarking on a cloud security assessment, it is important to consider key components of your cloud environment and the potential risks that may arise. Here are five things to consider before starting your cloud security assessment:

Cloud Providers: Evaluate the provider’s security measures, the selection process for third-party applications, and compliance with industry standards such as HIPAA or PCI DSS.

Security Controls: Determine which controls are in place to secure the environment, including infrastructure protection, authentication methods, access control policies, and incident response plans.
