IAM and Admin Access
Review users, groups, roles, service accounts, admin paths, privileged access, MFA, and stale accounts.
Cloud and IAM
Find risky access before it becomes a business incident.
Citual reviews cloud security and identity access across AWS, Azure, GCP, SaaS tools, admin accounts, service identities, secrets, logging, and exposed resources so teams know what to tighten first.
Delivery map
What we clarify before execution
1
Map people, roles, service accounts, admin paths, external sharing, and high-risk permissions.
2
Review MFA, logging, exposed storage, secrets handling, cloud configuration, and recovery controls.
3
Prioritise least-privilege fixes without breaking active business operations.
Service coverage
Cloud controls that matter early
Most cloud incidents start with unclear ownership, over-permissioned access, missing logs, exposed data, weak secrets, or unmanaged admin paths.
Cloud Configuration
Assess exposed storage, public endpoints, network rules, security groups, backup settings, encryption, and managed services.
Logging and Monitoring
Check audit logs, cloud events, alerting, retention, admin activity visibility, and investigation readiness.
Secrets and Data Protection
Review key storage, environment secrets, token handling, database exposure, sensitive buckets, and rotation practices.
Access Map
Produce a clear map of privileged identities, critical resources, trust relationships, and risky permissions.
Hardening Roadmap
Immediate fixes, staged least-privilege changes, owner assignments, and validation steps.
How we work
Review access without losing context
The point is not to produce a long document and disappear. We map the operating reality, show the evidence, and turn it into a sequence your team can execute.
01
Collect cloud accounts, IAM exports, admin roles, service identities, logging settings, and critical workloads.
02
Identify risky combinations of privilege, exposure, missing monitoring, and weak recovery controls.
03
Separate quick wins from changes that need staged rollout or application testing.
04
Review the hardening plan with owners and validate high-priority fixes.
What the buyer sees
What the cloud review includes
Each engagement should leave the business with fewer unknowns, better prioritisation, and enough documentation to act without confusion.
Privileged access map.
MFA and admin review.
Logging and alert gaps.
Exposed service findings.
Secrets and data-risk notes.
Least-privilege roadmap.
Decision layer
Cloud security is identity security
Cloud environments grow through convenience. Without a clear identity and resource map, teams lose visibility into who can change systems, read data, disable logs, or move laterally.
Least privilege planned in stages so delivery does not stop.
Logging and alerting treated as part of readiness, not optional monitoring.
Admin, service, and third-party access reviewed together.
Research-backed thinking
NIST CSF outcomes
Cloud security work supports Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover, and Govern outcomes.

The best roadmap shows what to fix now, what to stage, and what needs application-owner validation.
