Access relationship model

Cloud exposure is more than a public setting

A resource may not be intentionally public and can still be exposed through identity policies, resource policies, role trust, wildcard principals, broad conditions, and privileged intermediary roles.

Securitain evaluates these relationships together to show which identities and external principals can reach critical cloud resources.

Identity-based policies
Resource-based policies
Role trust relationships
Cross-account permissions
Wildcard principals
Broad conditions
Privileged intermediary roles
Federated and workload identities
Detection coverage

What the analyzer detects

Eight detection categories cover the full spectrum of AWS resource exposure risk.

Public Resource Access

Identify policies or configurations that may allow unauthenticated or broadly available access.

Cross-Account Exposure

Find resources reachable by principals from external AWS accounts and connected role relationships.

Risky Wildcard Principals

Detect Principal: "*" patterns and evaluate whether policy conditions sufficiently restrict access.

Broad Resource Permissions

Highlight sensitive actions granted across all resources or large resource groups without enough scoping.

External Role Trust

Identify roles assumable by external accounts, third parties, federated providers, or broad principals.

Sensitive Data Paths

Analyze how users and roles may reach storage, secrets, encryption keys, and databases.

Resource-Policy Risk

Detect policies that expose data or services through unrestricted principals, actions, resources, or weak conditions.

IAM-Driven Exposure

Reveal excessive IAM permissions that expose sensitive resources even when resources are not public.

For each exposure condition, Securitain answers

Which identity or external principal has access?
Which AWS resource is reachable?
Which policy or trust relationship enables access?
Is the access direct or inherited?
Is the access public, external, cross-account, or internal?
What actions can the principal perform?
Which account owns the affected resource?
How severe is the exposure?
Unified access analysis

Identity-to-resource analysis

Securitain connects IAM identities, policies, role assumptions, account relationships, and resource permissions into one access model.

Exposure categories

Classify exposure by access route

Public Exposure

Resources or policies that may permit access from any principal or from the public internet.

External Exposure

Access granted to identities, organizations, services, or accounts outside the expected AWS environment.

Cross-Account Exposure

Access paths between AWS accounts, including trusted roles and resource-policy permissions.

Privileged Internal Exposure

Internal users or roles with unnecessarily broad access to sensitive resources.

Indirect Exposure

Access obtained through role chaining, PassRole permissions, service execution roles, or intermediaries.

Unknown or Incomplete Exposure

Resources that cannot be fully evaluated because required read permissions or policy data were unavailable.

Services in scope

Resources and services covered by analysis

Coverage depends on enabled modules and available read permissions in each connected AWS account.

Business impact

Prioritize exposure by business impact

Some cross-account and third-party access is intentional. Securitain helps teams distinguish approved business access from unnecessarily broad exposure while keeping accepted exceptions visible.

Read-only connection

Securitain does not automatically edit resource policies, IAM policies, roles, buckets, keys, or trust relationships.

Risk evaluation factors

Public versus authenticated access
External principal type
Sensitive resource category
Permitted actions
Read versus write capability
Administrative or destructive actions
Wildcard principals or resources
Missing policy conditions
Cross-account trust breadth
Reachability through privileged roles

Recommended review actions

Restrict wildcard principals
Limit access to approved AWS account IDs
Add organization, source-account, or source-ARN conditions
Reduce wildcard actions and resources
Remove unused cross-account access
Tighten role trust policies
Separate read and administrative permissions
Restrict access to sensitive data resources
Review third-party integrations
Apply least-privilege controls
Validate whether public access is intentional
Operational fit

Built for real AWS environments

Multi-Account Visibility

Review exposure across connected AWS accounts without merging same-named resources or identities.

Account Context

Every finding identifies the relevant AWS account, resource, principal, and policy relationship.

Exception Management

Document justified exposure, approval, expiry, and review requirements without hiding the risk.

Compliance Evidence

Support access-control reviews for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CIS AWS Foundations, ISO 27001, and NIST.
