AWS access risk, explained from identity to resource.
One product that shows who can access what across your AWS accounts, which identities create the most risk, how that access can be abused, and what to fix first — read-only, agentless, and explainable.
Identity risk, answered end to end
Securitain is not a bundle of disconnected scanners. Each capability answers the next question in the chain.
Who are the identities?
A risk-scored inventory of every IAM user, role, group, access key, and Identity Center permission set across your AWS accounts.
What can they actually do?
Effective permissions — not policy names — including wildcard actions, sensitive operations, and least-privilege gaps.
Which paths create impact?
Privilege-escalation chains, blast radius, and external trust relationships that turn a foothold into account takeover.
Which controls are affected?
Each finding maps to the control areas in the frameworks you report on — evidence support, not certification.
What do you do next?
Prioritized findings with plain-language remediation guidance and AWS CLI examples — you stay in control of every change.
From your account to your evidence
Data flows one way — read-only — across a clear trust boundary.
AWS account
Your account stays in your control. Nothing is installed.
Read-only role
A cross-account IAM role with a unique ExternalId — no long-lived keys.
Capability validation
Securitain checks what the role can read and reports any gaps before scanning.
Inventory & analysis engines
Identity inventory, effective permissions, trust, escalation, and exposure analysis.
Findings & evidence
Explainable, prioritized findings with archived per-scan evidence.
Workflow & reports
Lifecycle tracking, remediation guidance, and exportable reports.
The core of the platform
IAM Security turns AWS IAM complexity into prioritized, explainable risk — effective permissions, sensitive actions, trust relationships, credential hygiene, blast radius, and escalation paths, all with the evidence behind every score.
What it answers
- Who can reach sensitive resources, and how
- Which identities create the greatest blast radius
- Where privilege escalation is possible
- Which credentials and trust policies are risky
Protect access to data, today
Securitain analyzes data exposure through the access layer now, with dedicated asset posture on the roadmap.
Access layer
- Identities with sensitive data-access permissions (s3:GetObject, kms:Decrypt, secrets, SSM, DynamoDB)
- Resource-policy exposure on S3, KMS, SQS & SNS (public / cross-account)
- Data-exfiltration permission combinations (KMS+S3, snapshot exfil, secrets access)
Asset posture
- Dedicated data-asset posture (S3/RDS/DynamoDB/Redshift/EBS inventory)
- Encryption-coverage & backup-compliance monitoring
- Sensitive-data discovery & content classification (PII/PHI/PCI)
A framework → finding → evidence chain
Every framework mapping traces back to a specific scan observation, with the scan ID, ARN, and timestamp preserved. This is technical evidence support and finding-to-control mapping — not certification or a framework compliance percentage.
From finding to action and proof
Lifecycle workflow
Open → In Progress → Remediated, with Suppressed and False Positive states.
Remediation guidance
Plain-language fixes and AWS CLI examples — Securitain does not change your environment.
Audience-specific reports
Executive summaries and engineer-level technical reports from the latest scan.
Flexible export
PDF, Markdown, CSV, or JSON, account-specific or across all connected accounts.
Read-only by design
What Securitain can access
- IAM users, roles, groups, policies & permission boundaries
- Access-key metadata, MFA & credential configuration
- Trust policies and supported resource policies (S3/KMS/SQS/SNS)
- Identity Center permission sets & assignments; Organizations/SCP (permission-dependent)
What Securitain cannot do
- Change, create, or delete any AWS resource
- Read your application data or object contents
- Execute remediation or deploy policies on your behalf
- Access accounts outside the role you explicitly connect
Review the read-only CloudFormation role and connection architecture before you connect an account.
