In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, securing cloud environments has become both more critical and complex. As organizations accelerate their cloud adoption, they can face mounting pressure to safeguard their infrastructure without sacrificing agility or innovation.
To address this challenge, PwC has integrated Wiz to reimagine its cloud security assessment. This collaboration equips enterprises with the visibility, speed and strategic insights required to navigate today’s cloud threat landscape confidently.
The Cloud Security Paradox: Innovation vs. Risk
PwC’s 2025 Global Digital Trust Insights survey revealed a concerning gap: while 42% of executives rank cloud-related threats as their most pressing concern, many organizations feel less prepared to address them compared to other challenges. This paradox underscores the requirement for a proactive and intelligent approach to cloud security. PwC and Wiz teamed up to empower organizations to operationalize cloud security as a business enabler.
A Modern Approach to Cloud Security Assessments
Truly increasing your security posture requires more than just technology. Traditional cloud security assessments often fall short and are hampered by complexity. They generate overwhelming data, and leave organizations struggling to translate findings into effective action.
Through this integration with the Wiz platform, PwC's cloud security assessments deliver a transformative alternative by combining leading technology with deep strategic expertise. The collaboration doesn’t just provide visibility; it provides clarity, context, and a clear path to a more secure and resilient cloud environment. Here's how:
Strategic Guidance to Address Remediation: Wiz delivers deep, real-time insights across your multi-cloud environments through agentless scanning and broad visibility into risks. It surfaces misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and identity risks without disrupting your operations. For example, a cloud security engineer preparing for an audit can quickly pull real-time insights into vulnerabilities across all cloud accounts, reducing the need for manual checks or agent installations. PwC can enhance this by bringing in the human element. Experienced professionals interpret these findings within the context of your unique business objectives, risk appetite, and industry leading practices, and then translate raw data into actionable strategies tailored to your specific needs.
Prioritization that Drives Impact: Wiz provides contextual risk prioritization that allows organizations to focus on the risks that matter, and PwC's custom framework helps amplify its value. Wiz’s insights are integrated with PwC’s deep understanding of threat landscapes and regulatory requirements, enabling organizations to focus on the most pressing threats first. For example, a CISO can collaborate with PwC to adopt a risk-based approach to cloud security, using Wiz’s modeling to shift from reactive patching to strategic threat mitigation. This risk-based prioritization enables your security efforts to deliver robust impact where it matters most.
Clarity for the C-Suite and Beyond: PwC develops executive-ready dashboards leveraging Wiz’s security data that help translate these security insights into actionable views. A CIO or CISO, for instance, can review a dashboard that highlights a rise in critical cloud risks, enabling immediate action without needing to parse complex technical details. Together, we help bridge the gap between technical data and business imperatives, empowering faster decisions, fostering continuous monitoring, and driving security as a strategic enabler across your organization.
Thorough Evaluations, Unified Visibility: PwC assessments can provide a holistic view of your cloud security posture, encompassing workload configurations, identity management, data exposure, and more across major providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. Wiz CNAPP enables organizations to detect critical issues across their overall multi-cloud landscape and understand the context around them. Imagine identifying a public-facing database in Azure and an unencrypted GCP bucket simultaneously, saving your team countless hours of manual cross-cloud checks.
The collaboration between Wiz and PwC enables organizations to work with a team of specialists dedicated to providing the strategic insights, tailored guidance, and clear communication necessary to elevate your cloud security posture and help you confidently navigate the evolving digital landscape.
From Development to Production: Securing Code to Runtime
Security doesn’t stop at assessments. PwC’s CNAPP enablement framework covers the overall software development lifecycle, from “shift-left” practices in development pipelines to real-time threat detection in live environments. This is powered by Wiz’s code to runtime capabilities, which include:
Agentless Visibility: Seamless, scalable integration with cloud environments helps accelerate secure innovation.
Holistic Risk Visibility: Real-time risk assessment across configurations, vulnerabilities, identities, secrets, exposures, and more in multi-cloud setups.
Code Security: Detect security risks early on in the development lifecycle to stop risks before they reach your production environment.
Risk Prioritization: Wiz’s Security Graph correlates security signals to spotlight attack paths, helping to streamline remediation for security teams.
Threat Response: Threat intelligence capabilities keep organizations ahead of emerging vulnerabilities and attack vectors, including runtime sensor to block threats.
Bridging the Cyber Resilience Gap
PwC’s 2025 Global Digital Trust Insights highlights significant gaps in cyber resilience, with only 2% of executives reporting broad cyber resilience actions across their organizations. This underscores the importance of integrating security into each strategic decision and fostering collaboration across the C-suite. Together, Wiz and PwC act as a strategic enabler, customized to fit each organization’s unique cloud setup and overarching security objectives.
Looking Ahead: Empowering Secure and Agile Cloud Transformation
This collaboration helps empower organizations to innovate securely and maintain a leading security posture. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, Wiz and PwC aim to help organizations and stay secure, agile, and ahead of threats.
