Kubernetes Security Audit
Find and fix the cluster misconfigurations that create real operational and security risk before they become incident reports.
Cluster risk map across workload isolation, access control, secrets, networking, and supply chain
Prioritized hardening plan with owner-ready remediation tasks
Practical audit checklist your team can rerun after upgrades or new workloads
Scope
Kubernetes security audits for production clusters covering RBAC, Pod Security Admission, network policies, secrets, GitOps, image supply chain, observability, and incident response.
RBAC, service accounts, impersonation paths, and least-privilege gaps
Pod Security Admission labels, baseline/restricted drift, and namespace exceptions
Network policies, ingress exposure, egress controls, and service mesh boundaries
Secrets handling, external secret stores, encryption at rest, and rotation workflows
Image provenance, admission controls, SBOM/scanning flow, and privileged workloads
Audit logging, alerting, backup/restore, upgrade posture, and incident runbooks
Scope cluster access and production constraints
Review configuration, manifests, policies, telemetry, and deployment flow
Validate findings with the owning platform team
Deliver hardening roadmap or execute a focused remediation sprint
Risk Signals
Powerful service accounts used by CI, operators, or application pods
Pod Security Admission warnings enabled but never reviewed or enforced
Network policies that do not match real application communication paths
Secrets copied into manifests, logs, or unmanaged cluster state
Short answers before the discovery call.
Yes. The first pass can be read-only. Enforcement changes are staged and reviewed so hardening does not unexpectedly block workloads.
The review applies to managed and self-hosted Kubernetes, including clusters on major cloud providers and GitOps-managed environments.
Yes. The deliverable includes a practical checklist and prioritized remediation plan your team can use after upgrades, new namespaces, or new production workloads.
