Who can reach
your AWS data?
Securitain analyzes IAM permissions and supported AWS resource configurations to identify identities with sensitive access, broad permissions, and risky combinations that increase data-exposure risk — without reading the contents of your data.
- Read-only & agentless
- Data content not scanned
- IAM-driven analysis
Data access & exposure intelligence
Over-privileged identities can create paths to sensitive AWS data. Securitain helps your team identify that access, and the riskier combinations of permissions, before they become a security problem.
Sensitive-permission detection
Identify identities with broad or sensitive data-access permissions — including S3 object access, KMS decrypt, and DynamoDB read, query, and scan access.
Resource-policy exposure
Analyze S3, KMS, SQS, SNS, and Secrets Manager resource policies for public principals, external accounts, and cross-account access.
Risky permission combinations
Identify supported combinations of permissions that increase risk when held by the same identity — such as KMS decrypt paired with S3 or Secrets Manager access, or Lambda code changes paired with secrets access.
High-risk access patterns
Securitain analyzes discovered identities and supported data-access permissions to show where sensitive access is concentrated.
- Identities with broad s3:GetObject or kms:Decrypt access across many resources
- Roles with DynamoDB GetItem, Query, or Scan access to sensitive tables
- Principals with permissions that could export or share RDS and EBS snapshots
- Cross-account roles holding sensitive data-access permissions
Securitain analyzes AWS configuration, IAM permissions, and supported resource policies. It does not download or inspect the contents of your S3 objects, databases, or secrets.
Common exposure patterns
Resource policies on S3, KMS, SQS, SNS, and Secrets Manager are checked for public principals and cross-account access, so you can identify configuration that may expose data outside the intended account boundary.
- S3 bucket policies open to the public or to external AWS accounts
- KMS key policies allowing decrypt from outside the account
- SQS and SNS resource policies with overly broad principals
- Secrets Manager resource policies open to external accounts
One permission may look harmless. Two together may not be.
Security risk is not always visible by reviewing one permission at a time. An identity may have read access to encrypted objects. A separate permission may let that same identity decrypt them. Securitain looks at supported combinations of permissions — not just individual ones — so your team can see the combined risk.
- KMS decrypt paired with S3 or Secrets Manager read access
- Lambda function-code changes paired with secrets access
- RDS or EBS snapshot-sharing permissions that could expose a snapshot outside the account
- S3 bucket-policy changes paired with object-read access
- CloudTrail logging changes paired with IAM permission changes
With Securitain Data Security
- Identify identities with permissions that may allow sensitive data access, decryption, or higher exposure risk
- S3, KMS, SQS, SNS & Secrets Manager resource policies checked for public and cross-account exposure
- Detection of supported permission combinations that increase data-exposure risk
- Finding-to-control evidence to support HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and other supported compliance frameworks
Evidence to support your data-protection controls
Supported findings map to relevant control areas in the compliance frameworks available in Securitain — evidence and mapping support, not certification.
Planned — not current capabilities
Securitain's current Data Security capability analyzes AWS access, permissions, and supported resource configurations. It does not currently inspect or classify the contents of customer data. The following are planned for future releases:
See who can reach your data
Connect a read-only role and see which identities can access your data, which resource policies are externally exposed, and which permission combinations increase risk.
