IAM-Driven Data Access

Data Security

Know who can read, decrypt, or exfiltrate your data across AWS. Securitain analyzes data access through the lens of IAM — sensitive permissions, resource-policy exposure, and exfiltration-risk combinations.

What it is

Data access & exposure intelligence

Most data loss starts with an over-privileged identity — not a missing scanner. Securitain shows you who can reach your data, and how.

Sensitive-permission detection

Find every identity that can read or decrypt sensitive data via permissions like s3:GetObject, kms:Decrypt, secretsmanager:GetSecretValue, ssm:GetParameter*, dynamodb:GetItem/Query/Scan, and RDS log/snapshot operations.

Resource-policy exposure

Analyze S3, KMS, SQS, and SNS resource policies for public principals, external accounts, cross-account access, and external KMS decrypt — before anyone outside your account abuses it.

Exfiltration-combination analysis

Detect toxic permission combinations an attacker could chain — KMS+S3, KMS+Secrets, RDS/EBS snapshot exfil, Lambda-mod+secrets, bucket-policy-mod+object access, and logging-disable+IAM-mutation.

What a scan surfaces

The access and exposure that matters

High-risk access patterns

  • Identities with broad s3:GetObject or kms:Decrypt across many resources
  • Roles able to read secrets (secretsmanager:GetSecretValue, ssm:GetParameter*)
  • Principals that can export RDS/EBS snapshots or read database logs
  • Cross-account roles holding sensitive data-access permissions

Common exposure patterns

  • S3 bucket policies open to the public or to external AWS accounts
  • KMS key policies allowing decrypt from outside the account
  • SQS/SNS resource policies with overly broad principals
  • Permission combinations (e.g. KMS+S3) that enable exfiltration
How data breaches happen

The path attackers take

  1. 1

    Attacker gains initial access (phishing, weak passwords, leaked keys)

  2. 2

    Lands on an identity with broad data-access permissions

  3. 3

    Reads or decrypts data via s3:GetObject, kms:Decrypt, or secrets access

  4. 4

    Chains permissions (snapshot + share, KMS + S3) to exfiltrate data

With Securitain Data Security

  • See exactly which identities can read, decrypt, or exfiltrate data
  • S3/KMS/SQS/SNS resource policies checked for public & cross-account exposure

Planned — not current capabilities

Today Securitain delivers IAM-driven data access and exposure intelligence. The following are planned for future releases:

Sensitive-data discovery & content classification (PII/PHI/PCI)
Amazon Macie integration
Complete S3 & database posture management
Encryption-coverage & backup-compliance monitoring
Full data security posture management (DSPM)
