ScopeDown

ScopeDown is an intelligent automation system for enforcing least privilege in AWS IAM...not just once, but continuously.

Why ScopeDown?

Picture this: a security team that needs to manage the spider web of cloud permissions.

• Are they wondering where that file went?
• Getting heat from auditors and regulators?
• Discovering a developer has production access...again?

And they're not alone. Over 90% of AWS IAM permissions go unused, leaving your cloud wide open.

What ScopeDown Does

ScopeDown reduces IAM permissions to exactly what your team needs.
Nothing more. Nothing less.

It continuously analyzes and optimizes AWS IAM policies using real-world activity data and automation:

• CloudTrail Analysis – Understand what permissions are actually used
• AWS Access Analyzer – Detect unused permissions across services
• Lambda-based Engine – Analyze gaps between granted vs. used permissions
• Terraform Integration – Manage IAM with Infrastructure as Code
• GitHub Automation – Auto-generate PRs with optimized policies

How It Works

1. Simulation scripts generate AWS activity for test roles
2. CloudTrail captures actual API calls
3. Lambda function analyzes real vs. granted permissions
4. ScopeDown generates Terraform policy recommendations
5. GitHub PRs are created automatically with updates

The Result

• Clean, least-privilege IAM policies
• Seamless integration into existing CI/CD pipelines
• Audit-readiness without extra work
• Compliance support with minimal overhead

Least privilege is no longer a best practice, it’s a requirement for business.

ScopeDown isn't just talk.
It implements, explains, and maintains least privilege automatically.
