A scored estate
Varcio scores the connected estate and shows what the score rests on, rather than asking you to take a number on trust.
Cloud Assessment
Score your cloud estate and hand over a board-ready assessment
Varcio Cloud Assessment scores a connected cloud estate and produces an evidence-backed deliverable you can take to a meeting, without deploying or migrating anything. Every completed assessment is kept so you can compare over time and reopen a past report.

An evidence-backed report
The assessment is built from what Varcio read in your connected accounts, and the report embeds an architecture figure drawn from that evidence.
A board-ready export
Export the assessment as a deliverable for a leadership or board meeting, an architecture review or a migration business case.
A saved history
Every completed assessment is persisted, so you can compare one against the last and reopen a past report without recomputing it.
No change to your estate
It does not deploy or migrate anything. It reads, scores and reports.
Read-only by design
Because Varcio separates read from execution access, you can run an assessment without granting any write permission.
How it works
Connect, assess, export, repeat
The same loop works for a one-off review and for a quarterly cadence.

- Previous assessmentReopen without recomputingSaved
- Earlier assessmentCompare to see what movedSaved
- 01
Connect read-only
Connect your AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or Oracle accounts with read-only credentials. Cloud Access reports precisely which permissions, if any, are missing.
- 02
Run the assessment
Open Deploy & Migration, then Cloud Assessment, and score the connected estate.
- 03
Read the evidence
Review what the score rests on and the findings behind it before you share anything.
- 04
Export the report
Export the board-ready assessment, including the architecture figure.
- 05
Repeat and compare
Run it again after changes and compare against the previous assessment to see what moved.
Use cases
When teams run a cloud assessment
The same read of the estate answers several different questions.
Before a migration
Establish what exists and how ready it is, then move on to source and target readiness, waves and cutover evidence in the migration module.
After an acquisition or reorganisation
Understand an inherited estate quickly, in a form you can put in front of an executive sponsor.
For a leadership or board review
Replace a slide of screenshots with a scored, evidence-backed deliverable that can be reopened and compared next quarter.
As a continuing health check
Run it on a cadence and track the trend, using saved assessments rather than a new spreadsheet each time.
Cloud Assessment is part of Deploy & Migration and sits beside the Compliance module, which maps findings to SOC 2, CIS, NIST and ISO controls and exports evidence for auditors. Use the assessment for the estate-level picture and Compliance for control-level evidence.
With people
Software for the read, engineers for the redesign
If the assessment shows work to do, our Cloud Services team can do it.
The assessment tells you where you stand. Turning it into a landing zone, a migration plan or a modernisation roadmap is engineering work, and Varcio Cloud Services offers it across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
FAQ
Questions, answered
What is a cloud assessment?
A cloud assessment is a structured review of an estate that produces a scored, evidence-backed picture of what exists and how it is doing, usually to support a decision such as a migration, a redesign or a leadership review. In Varcio it is generated from your connected accounts.
Does Cloud Assessment change anything in my cloud?
No. It scores the estate and produces a report without deploying or migrating anything, and it can run on read-only connections.
Can I compare assessments over time?
Yes. Every completed assessment is saved, so you can compare against earlier ones for trend and reopen a past report without recomputing it.
Can I share the result with leadership or a board?
Yes. The assessment exports as a board-ready deliverable, and the report embeds an architecture figure drawn from your connected estate.
Which plans include it?
Cloud Assessment is part of Deploy & Migration, available on Pro, Business and Enterprise.
