Andromeda Security’s vision is simple but bold: ensure that no identity compromise, human or non-human, results in a breach. By unifying fragmented identity data sources and continuously enforcing least privilege access, Andromeda enables organizations to scale securely across cloud and SaaS environments without slowing down business operations.

Key capabilities:

  • Collects configuration and activity data from IdPs, cloud providers, SaaS apps, and HR systems.

  • Builds an identity-resource graph that forms a central data lake of all identities and attributes.

  • Applies ML-driven analytics to continuously detect risks, generate insights, and drive automation.

  • Automates IAM tasks to reduce attack surface while improving agility.

 

 

About ISO 27001

ISO 27001 is the global standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It establishes a framework for identifying risks, protecting sensitive data, and continuously improving security. Its critical components include:

  • Strategic Planning: Security policies and compliance roadmaps.

  • Threat Analysis: Ongoing risk identification and assessment.

  • Protective Measures: Implementing safeguards for confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

  • Operational Excellence: Continuous monitoring and process improvements.

  • Documentation Management: Policies, procedures, and audit records.

  • Quality Assurance & Executive Oversight: Regular reviews and leadership accountability.

 

Andromeda Modules That Drive ISO 27001 Compliance

1. Least Standing Privilege (LSP)

  • Continuously enforces the principle of least privilege.

  • Dynamically adjusts user permissions based on usage and risk.

  • Categorizes permissions into frequently used low/high risk, infrequent, and unused.

  • Excess or stale permissions are removed and redirected through Just-in-Time requests.

 

2. Just-in-Time (JIT) Privileged Access

  • Eliminates standing privileges by provisioning temporary, task-based access.

  • Access is risk- and context-aware, with anomaly detection and human-in-the-loop review.

  • Automatically revokes privileges after use, shrinking the attack window.

  • Post-session analysis detects misuse or suspicious activity.

 

3. Non-Human Identity (NHI) Management

  • Discovers, classifies, and governs all machine identities across cloud workloads, Kubernetes, and SaaS.

  • Enforces LSP for machine accounts, ensuring they only have minimal, well-defined rights.

  • Tracks inactive or orphaned identities, stale keys, and privilege drift.

  • Monitors privileged NHIs to prevent misuse or lateral movement.

 

 

 

ISO 27001 Controls Checklist (Andromeda Alignment)

ISO Control Description How Andromeda Helps

5.3 Segregation of Duties

 

Prevent conflicting roles Automates SoD checks in access management

5.9 Asset Inventory

 

Maintain inventory of assets Builds full inventory of human & non-human identities

5.11 Return of Assets

 

Recover access at termination   Marks orphaned NHIs and stale identities

5.15 / 8.3 Access Control

 

Define access control rules Governs access for human & machine identities

5.16 Identity Lifecycle

 

Manage identity lifecycle Tracks provisioning/de-provisioning in cloud & SaaS

5.17 Authentication Info

 

Secure authentication Monitors MFA gaps and risky credentials

5.18 Access Rights

 

Review and modify rights Uses JIT + LSP to right-size privileges

8.2 Privileged Access

 

Manage privileged rights Enforces JIT and LSP on privileged accounts

8.5 Secure Authentication

 

Strong auth mechanisms Detects weak auth in human & non-human identities

8.9 Config Management

 

Secure configurations Identifies posture and configuration risks

8.16 Monitoring

 

Continuous monitoring Detects anomalies and remediates in real time

 

The Bottom Line

Andromeda Security is more than a compliance tool, it’s a continuous assurance platform. By combining LSP, JIT privileged access, and non-human identity management, it operationalizes ISO 27001 controls across complex, multi-cloud estates.

This means:

  • Fewer audit findings.

  • Stronger insurance posture.

  • Reduced breach risk from over-privileged identities.

  • Continuous compliance, not point-in-time certification.

With Andromeda, ISO 27001 isn’t a checkbox exercise, it’s a living, adaptive defense strategy.
