Managing Permissions Effectively for Human and Non-Human Identities

Overprivileged accounts , both human and non-human, are the single largest driver of identity-related risk in cloud environments. Standing access, stale credentials, and unused roles create an expansive attack surface that adversaries and insiders can exploit. A permissions rightsizing exercise addresses these gaps directly by aligning access with actual usage and risk, reducing your blast radius, and advancing your journey to Zero Trust.

What the Analysis Provides

Our free cloud environment analysis delivers:

• Complete Discovery of all human users and non-human identities (NHIs)

• Quantified Risk Scores for identity posture, behavior, and privileges

• Prioritized Findings with clear, actionable remediation steps

• Fine-Grained Visibility into roles and permissions across your cloud stack

• Fast, Non-Disruptive Setup with no impact on production

Example Findings & Remediation

• Human Users - stale identities, inactive IAM accounts, shadow admin privileges, and MFA inconsistencies

• NHIs - console access risks, overdue key rotations, inactive service accounts, and excessive admin permissions

• Roles & Permissions - unused roles, overprivileged policies, and lateral movement paths between environments

Strategic Benefits

• Immediate Risk Reduction: eliminate standing access and shrink your attack surface

• Stronger Compliance - align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR least-privilege requirements

• Actionable Roadmap - right-size roles with precision, backed by real usage data

• Cost Optimization - reduce unnecessary license consumption and cloud overspend

• Executive Communication - clear, data-driven insights to brief leadership and auditors

The Bottom Line

Rightsizing permissions isn’t just a compliance exercise — it’s a security transformation initiative. By aligning privilege with usage, you reduce risk, improve efficiency, and enable continuous security improvement across both human and non-human identities.
