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.
