What We Assess

8 Areas We Examine

01
Hypervisor Patching
Is your hypervisor (Proxmox, ESXi, Hyper-V) on a supported, patched version?
02
Management Console Exposure
Is the Proxmox Web UI / vCenter / Hyper-V Manager internet-accessible?
03
VM Isolation and Network Segmentation
Are VMs on separate VLANs? Can a compromised VM reach management network?
04
Snapshot Hygiene
Orphaned snapshots consuming storage? Snapshot-based backup tested?
05
Container Privilege Levels
Are Docker containers running as root? Privileged mode enabled?
06
Container Image Security
Scanning images for CVEs? Using trusted registries only?
07
Kubernetes RBAC
Least-privilege roles configured? Default service accounts restricted?
08
Storage Backend Health
ZFS/Ceph/NFS backend healthy? Redundancy in place?
Who This Assessment Is For

Any organisation running virtualised infrastructure — Proxmox, VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM — or containerised workloads on Docker or Kubernetes.

Common Findings We Uncover
Proxmox/ESXi management UI on public IP
VMs on flat network — no VLAN isolation
Privileged Docker containers in production
Kubernetes default service accounts with cluster-admin
Orphaned snapshots causing storage exhaustion
Compliance Frameworks Mapped

Common Questions

We use Proxmox — is that covered?
Yes. Proxmox VE is our primary hypervisor (we run it ourselves at Spectra). We have deep knowledge of Proxmox security, ZFS tuning, and cluster configuration.
What about containers in a VM?
We assess the full stack — hypervisor layer, VM configuration, and container workloads running inside VMs.
