Privilege in the cloud should not persist
Privilege in the cloud should not persist
Cloud consoles are where permanent administrator access accumulates fastest. Idira Secure Cloud Access grants time-bound, task-scoped elevation into AWS, Azure and GCP, and the wider ISPSS platform ties it to the rest of your identity estate.
The components, and what we do with them
Just-in-time, zero-standing-privilege elevation into AWS, Azure and GCP consoles and CLIs with approval workflow, session recording and automatic expiry.
- JIT roles across accounts and subscriptions
- Approval and justification workflow
- Console and CLI session capture
- Automated role and policy lifecycle
Brokered, recorded access to Linux, Windows and Kubernetes infrastructure without standing accounts or VPN, using short-lived certificates and native tools.
- Ephemeral access, no standing accounts
- Native RDP / SSH clients
- Kubernetes access brokering
- Recorded and auditable
Isolated, recorded browser sessions for privileged SaaS consoles and admin portals, with data controls and step-up MFA in the session.
- Session recording for SaaS admin
- Copy, paste and download controls
- Step-up MFA in session
- Secure Browser for workforce
Visibility into who can do what across cloud accounts, excess permissions ranked by risk, and least-privilege policy recommendations before privilege is removed.
- Effective permission analysis
- Risk-ranked excess entitlements
- Least-privilege policy generation
- Continuous drift detection
Idira or Entra ID as identity source for multi-account AWS organisations, with permission set design and assignment strategy that SCA elevates on top of.
- SAML federation and SCIM provisioning
- Permission set and group design
- Multi-account assignment strategy
- No "change identity source" surprises
Roles, policies and entitlements for SCA provisioned by pipeline — new accounts arrive ready, drift is corrected automatically.
- AWS and Azure IAM role lifecycle
- Packaged as containers and Lambda functions
- Terraform and CI/CD hooks
- Drift detection and correction

Capabilities
How we approach cloud identity security
Cloud identity work is where most organisations discover that their PAM, IAM and cloud teams have never agreed on an operating model. We facilitate that agreement as part of the design, because no tool survives without it.
Ready to reduce identity risk?
If privileged access is hard to explain or credentials are hard to control, your organisation is exposed. That risk can be reduced with the right design and hands-on delivery.
These principles guide every engagement
They define how we design, deliver and operate identity security for our customers.
Certified, not just familiar
Guardian-led, with CDE credentials across PAM, Privilege Cloud, EPM and Secrets Manager, kept current on every release.
Architect-led delivery
Design is reviewed and signed off before anything is built, so what goes live is what was agreed.
Written scope, fixed price
Deliverables, timeline and price in writing before work starts. No open-ended retainers.
Enablement built in
Your team is trained during delivery, so what we build does not depend on us to keep running.
