Refactor Cloud Assurance by Refactor Red

Refactor Cloud Assurance is an independent audit of your cloud account. We connect with read-only access, scan the whole account, and deliver three professional reports (Inventory, Security Review, and Cost Optimisation) in under 30 minutes.

No engineers on hold for weeks, no generic checklist, no sales pitch dressed up as a review. Just a clear, independent picture of where your cloud stands today.

Security blind spots

Most businesses have no clear picture of what's exposed until something goes wrong

Wasted spend

Most cloud bills carry 20 to 40 per cent in forgotten or idle resources

Audits that take weeks

By the time a traditional audit is delivered, the account has already moved on

Inventory Report

What exactly is running in your account, and why?

• Everything in your cloud account, servers, storage, databases and more
• Clear ownership and purpose for every resource
• The foundation every other finding is built on

Security Review

Where are you exposed, and how bad is it?

• Every exposed resource ranked by real-world risk
• Plain-language explanations, not technical scoring
• A prioritised list of what to fix first, and why

Cost Optimisation

Where is your cloud budget actually going?

• A full breakdown of spend by service or project
• Idle and forgotten resources quietly costing you money
• Realistic savings estimates, not vague percentages

Startups and scale-ups

Moving fast without losing sight of security or spend

Businesses new to the cloud

Ahead of a funding round

A growing cloud bill

Find out where the money is really going

We are not funded or sponsored by any cloud provider. Our only interest is what's right for your business, even if that means recommending you restructure your cloud, or move away from your current provider altogether.

Refactor Remediate

Found something you want fixed? Refactor Remediate is a separate, optional engagement to act on the audit's findings, with its own scope and its own permissions agreed with you in advance. Your auditor never holds the keys.

Is it safe to give you access?

Yes. Access is strictly read-only, using an exact, agreed set of permissions. It can be revoked at any time, and revoking it takes effect immediately.

We already have someone who looks after our cloud.

Good. This audit complements them. An independent second opinion is valuable even, especially, when you already trust your current provider or team.

We're not big enough to be a target.

Small accounts are targets too. Attackers don't check company size before looking for an open door.

How accurate is this really?

Every finding comes directly from your account's real configuration. Nothing is estimated or invented.

How is this different from a Well-Architected Review?

A Well-Architected Review is written and delivered from inside your cloud provider's own framework. Ours is independent of any provider, so we'll tell you if the right answer is to change providers altogether.
