IAM & cloud posture review with prioritized remediation and audit-ready evidence

We identify effective permissions, privileged identities and real exposure across AWS/Azure/GCP. You get an actionable roadmap and we re-validate fixes to produce audit-ready evidence.

What the review covers in practice

  • Effective permissions: roles, groups, policies and privilege escalation paths (least privilege).
  • Critical identities: orphaned accounts, service principals, keys/API tokens, MFA and break-glass controls.
  • Cloud posture: public exposure, storage, networks, SG/NSG rules, endpoints, logging and encryption.
  • Change control: IaC/template review, drift detection, baselines and guardrail policies.
  • Actionable roadmap: remediation prioritized by impact + re-validation included.
  • Audit-ready evidence: findings, tickets, approvals and traceability for audits and regulators.

The goal isn’t “checking boxes”. It’s to reduce real risk and produce a defensible state. We prioritize changes that rapidly reduce exposure and we document fixes with evidence.

Deliverables

Executive report

Risk, exposure and priorities. Summary for leadership and security steering committees.

IAM matrix (effective permissions)

Map of roles/policies, privileged identities and least-privilege recommendations.

Remediation backlog

Prioritized actions (P0–P3), suggested owners, dependencies and quick wins.

Re-validation & evidence pack

Post-change verification, screenshots/exports, logs and audit-ready traceability.

Recommended KPIs

Metrics that help govern IAM and cloud posture with an outcome-focused approach.

Excess privilege

Reduction of admin-like effective permissions and escalation paths.

Public exposure

Count of public/open resources and insecure configuration (storage, network, services).

Logging coverage

Critical sources with logging/alerting enabled and adequate retention.

Remediation velocity

Backlog closed + re-validated vs. backlog created.

How we work

  1. Step 1

    Scope & access

    Accounts/subs/projects, criticality and sources.

  2. Step 2

    Discovery

    Inventory + effective permissions + exposure.

  3. Step 3

    Prioritization

    Risk, impact, effort, quick wins.

  4. Step 4

    Remediation

    Changes + re-validation + evidence.

FAQ

Is this just a report, or do you also help remediate?

We can do both. The review delivers an actionable roadmap; if you want, we support remediation and re-validation to reduce real exposure with audit-ready evidence.

Do you work with AWS, Azure and GCP?

Yes. We tailor the platform specifics, but the logic is consistent: effective permissions, privileged identities, exposure, hardening, logging and traceability.

What do you need to start?

Read-only access (ideal) or a delegated role, a basic inventory of accounts/subscriptions/projects and a short scoping session to align on criticality and priorities.

Is it useful for audits (ISO 27001 / ENS / DORA / NIS2)?

Yes. We document findings, decisions and evidence of corrections. The output aligns well with IAM controls, hardening and change management requirements.

Want to make this real in your cloud?

We define scope, criticality and a verifiable remediation plan (with evidence).
