Cloud security

Google Kubernetes Engine security review

Review GKE modes, workload identity, network boundaries, admission policy and operational visibility. Reduce cloud attack paths without making routine engineering depend on a security ticket.

01 / Scope

Work on the system, not around it.

The engagement starts with the architecture and working constraints already in place. We agree the risky paths, make the changes visible and leave ownership with the team running the system.

01

Cluster mode

Version, endpoint, nodes, metadata and administrative access.

02

Identity

Workload Identity Federation for GKE, RBAC and service accounts.

03

Policy

Pod security, Binary Authorization and admission controls.

04

Runtime

Network policy, secrets, logging, detection and recovery.

02 / Method

Reduce cloud attack paths without making routine engineering depend on a security ticket.

Scope and access are agreed before the work begins. Decisions, changes and residual risk remain visible throughout the engagement.

01

Map the boundary

Start with evidence, owners and the constraints that shape the safe solution.

02

Validate the risky paths

Prioritise by practical impact and implement with the people who operate the system.

03

Implement and verify

Test the changed path, document the decision and hand over a backlog that still makes sense.

03 / What remains

  • 01GKE trust-boundary map
  • 02Cluster and workload findings
  • 03Policy and manifest remediation
  • 04Operations and retest record

04 / Talk to Gritt

What is happening in the system?

Send the cloud, workload or deadline. An engineer will reply and tell you whether this is the right scope.

A short technical note is enough.
