Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What types of IAM policies can I analyze with this tool?

You can analyze AWS IAM identity-based policies (attached to users, groups, or roles) and resource-based policies. The tool supports both inline and managed policy formats in valid JSON.

What security risks does the analyzer identify?

The tool identifies: overly permissive actions (* permissions), resource wildcards that are too broad, missing condition statements, public access risks, administrative privileges without MFA requirements, and cross-account access without proper restrictions.

Does this tool store or transmit my IAM policies to external servers?

All processing is done securely on our servers with encryption in transit and at rest. Policies are not stored permanently and are deleted after analysis completion.

Can I analyze multiple policies at once?

Currently, the tool analyzes one policy at a time for detailed, focused results. For analyzing multiple policies, you can run them sequentially through the tool.

What format should the IAM policy be in?

The policy must be in valid JSON format following AWS IAM policy structure. You can copy policies directly from AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or export them from your infrastructure as code templates.
