Role Bindings
Overly broad role assignments, inherited permissions, and stale bindings that give identities far more reach than your team realizes.

About Cloud IAM Security Assessment
Secure Cloud Identities With Better Access Controls
Wondering how to know if your cloud identities are actually secure and not just green on a dashboard? Most automated tools flag the obvious over permissions and completely miss the chains that matter. A real cloud IAM security assessment takes someone who understands how attackers piece together small missteps, an inherited permission here, a misconfigured trust policy there, into a clean path to admin. Pluto Security's certified operators manually test your identity and access setup from an attacker's perspective, validating every finding by hand before it ever reaches your report. No scanner noise, no false positives, just clear evidence of what's exploitable and a practical path to fix it!
Identity & Access Assessment
Least Privilege Review
Authentication & Authorization Testing
Multi Cloud IAM Security
// Scope
Full Scope Coverage Across Your Cloud Identity Layer
Trust Relationships
Misconfigured cross-account and cross service trust policies that let an attacker pivot from one identity straight into another.
Privilege Escalation Paths
The chains of small missteps that let a low-privileged identity climb its way to full administrative control.
Policy Misconfigurations
Wildcard permissions, conflicting policy statements, and overly permissive grants that quietly widen your attack surface.
Permission Boundaries
Weak or missing guardrails that fail to contain what an identity can actually do once it's compromised.
Service Account Abuse
Over scoped service accounts, exposed keys, and impersonation paths that hand attackers a direct route deeper into your environment.
// Methodology
How a Cloud IAM Security Assessment Engagement Works
- 01
Scoping
We map your identity landscape and define the assessment criteria that matter most to your business, whether that's a single account or your full multi cloud footprint.
- 02
Testing
Certified operators manually test your role bindings, trust relationships, and policies using attacker-driven methodology, with automation supporting coverage, never replacing the work.
- 03
Reporting
You get a clear, audit ready report that ranks findings by real business risk, backed by proof of exploitation.
- 04
Remediation Support
We walk your team through fixes step by step, so findings turn into resolved issues.
- 05
Free Retest
Once fixes are in place, we retest the affected systems at no extra cost to confirm the risk is closed.

// What we deliver
Actionable Cloud IAM Security Insights
Our Cloud IAM Security Assessment delivers clear, evidence-based insights into identity and access control risks across your cloud environment. We assess permissions, roles, service accounts, authentication, authorization, and privileged access to identify security gaps and potential privilege escalation paths. You receive practical findings and remediation guidance to strengthen IAM controls and support a least-privilege security model.
- Detailed IAM Security Findings
Clear documentation of identity, permission, role, and access control weaknesses.
- Identity & Access Risk Analysis
Insights into excessive privileges, misconfigurations, authentication risks, and potential attack paths.
- Technical Assessment Evidence
Supporting evidence and context to help validate identified IAM security issues.
- Actionable Remediation Guidance
Practical recommendations to strengthen access controls, reduce privilege risks, and support least-privilege security.
Why Choose Pluto Security?
Manual Testing, Built for Cloud Identity
Identity and access setups grow tangled fast, and a point in time scan can't keep pace with how quickly an inherited permission turns into a breach. That's why our cloud IAM security assessment is built around certified humans who understand how attackers actually chain identities together across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Manual First
Our operators trace chained escalation paths and trust abuse that automated tools miss entirely.
Certified Operators
Every engagement is run by testers holding OSCP, CISSP, and GIAC credentials.
Zero False Positives
We prove exploitability before anything lands in your report.
Compliance Ready
Deliverables map directly to SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST CSF.
Testing That Mirrors Real Attackers
- We test your identity layer the way an attacker would, chaining small permission missteps into real, business impacting escalation paths.
- We validate every finding by hand before it reaches your report, so your team never chases a false positive.
- We map every result to the compliance frameworks your auditors and customers actually ask about.
- We dig into role bindings, trust policies, and service accounts for privilege escalation paths that automated tools consistently overlook.
What you get
- IAM Security Findings
- Identity & Access Analysis
- Privilege Escalation Insights
- Actionable Remediation Guidance
Methodologies and Frameworks We Follow

// Business impact
A Compliant IAM Setup Isn't Always a Secure One
Passing an audit tells you your access controls exist on paper. It doesn't tell you whether an attacker can chain an inherited permission to a trusted service account to full admin over your environment. A thorough cloud IAM security assessment closes that gap before it becomes an incident report.
Identity Is the #1 Breach Vector
Most cloud incidents trace back to an over permissioned role or misconfigured trust policy, not a sophisticated zero day attack.
Scanners Miss What Attackers Find
Automated tools catch obvious over permissions, but they consistently miss the chained escalation paths real attackers exploit.
One Weak Role Opens Everything
A single over privileged identity can give an attacker a path from initial access to full administrative control across your cloud.
Compliance Doesn't Equal Security
Passing a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit confirms your controls exist on paper, it doesn't confirm they'd hold up against a real attack.
Permissions Drift Fast
New roles, updated policies, and shifting assignments introduce fresh risk daily, making point-in-time testing critical to staying ahead.
Trust Relationships Are Under Tested
Cross account and cross-service trust links are frequently over granted and rarely examined until an attacker finds them first.
Privilege Escalation Is Rarely Obvious
Attackers chain together small IAM missteps to escalate in ways that neither automated tools nor internal reviews typically catch.
The Cost of a Breach Outweighs the Cost of Testing
A single identity driven breach can trigger regulatory fines, customer churn, and reputational damage that far exceeds the investment in proactive security testing.
