AWS IAM RISK ASSESSMENT / GRAYPOINT

Know where
your access
leads.

Cloud security. Starting with identity.

Our AWS IAM Risk Assessment connects permissions and trust relationships to the decisions your team needs to make: which identities deserve attention, what their access could enable, and which changes to evaluate first.

WHEN ACCESS BECOMES A QUESTION

Permissions pile up.
Get to the point.

graypoint is a cloud security consultancy, starting with AWS IAM. This assessment helps teams turn complex identity permissions into an order of work.

GROWING AWS ENVIRONMENTS

Access has outgrown its intent.

Roles, accounts, and integrations have multiplied. You need to understand the permissions that matter most.

A QUESTION ABOUT EXPOSURE

A policy finding needs context.

You need to know what a permission could enable, which controls limit it, and what evidence supports the conclusion.

A REMEDIATION BACKLOG

Your team needs a starting point.

You need priorities you can explain to leadership and recommendations an engineer can evaluate.

THE IAM RISK BRIEF

Deployment access.
Finance data.

ci-deploy → reporting-exec → finance-reader

A connected permission path changes the priority. Narrow role delegation, then verify the intended deployment still works.

HOW THE ENGAGEMENT WORKS

Clear scope.
Useful evidence.

A focused review of AWS identity permissions and trust relationships, with a written scope before access is granted.

Review access and data
READ-ONLY ASSESSMENT

No agents. No write permissions.

  1. 01

    Scope the decision.

    Tell us what prompted the review and which accounts are involved. The proposal defines the work, fee, schedule, and participation needed from your team.

  2. 02

    Examine the evidence.

    Your team reviews a scoped, read-only collection role. We examine identity permissions and trust relationships, documenting the controls and assumptions behind each finding.

  3. 03

    Work through the priorities.

    Your IAM Risk Brief brings together the findings, their significance, and recommended changes. The scope defines the readout and any remediation or follow-up support.
