Container & Kubernetes Security Testing
Security assessments for containerized workloads and orchestration platforms
What this engagement covers
The service
Our container and Kubernetes security testing identifies misconfigurations, escape paths, and privilege escalation vectors in your containerized environments. We assess Docker configurations, Kubernetes cluster security, pod security policies, RBAC settings, and supply chain risks in your container images.
What we test
We assess your container runtime security (Docker, containerd), Kubernetes cluster configuration (API server, etcd, kubelet), RBAC policies, network policies, pod security standards, secrets management, container image supply chain, registry security, and the interaction between your orchestration layer and underlying infrastructure.
How we run it
We combine automated scanning of your container images and Kubernetes configurations with manual testing for escape paths, privilege escalation, and lateral movement. We test from the perspective of a compromised container, a malicious insider with limited RBAC, and an external attacker targeting exposed services. We use tools like kube-hunter, trivy, and custom scripts alongside deep manual analysis.

What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- Kubernetes cluster security assessment
- Container image vulnerability scan results
- RBAC and access control policy review
- Network policy and segmentation findings
- Secrets management and exposure analysis
- Container escape and breakout test results
- Supply chain and registry security review
- Hardening guide for your specific environment
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Findings are mapped to CIS Kubernetes Benchmark, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-190, PCI-DSS, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Scope it in one call
Tell us what is in scope and we come back with a fixed price and a start date. No discovery-call maze, no hourly estimate that moves.
