No tickets · No hand-written IAM · No unreviewed access
Most companies start simple. Then the cloud grows.
A few AWS accounts or Azure subscriptions. Active Directory groups mapped to cloud roles. Straightforward federation, limited surface area. It works.
Dozens of accounts. Daily access requests. Stale roles. People leave. Roles change. And AI agents never sleep.
How do you provision access across accounts, subscriptions, and projects?
How do you manage the daily stream of create and modify requests?
How do you ensure you never over-provision?
What about stale access that just sits there?
What happens when someone leaves or changes roles?
AI agents never sleep.
They will eventually gain access. They can reach your code, your configs, and your operations at machine speed. Nothing in most environments reasons about aggregate entitlement or grant velocity.
Code & configs
Agents can explore and exploit flaws in applications and infrastructure.
Standing access
Long-lived credentials become permanent attack surface.
Machine speed
Human review processes cannot keep pace with automated requests.
Visibility is not enough.
You can write scripts. You can buy products. Most address only part of the problem.
Established tools excel at visibility — who has what, and the permissions attached. They show the problem. They do not own the full lifecycle of request, to least-privilege grant, to evidence-based removal.
A system built from the ground up to manage the entire access lifecycle across multiple clouds. Multiple approval gates. Least privilege by construction. Safe decommission. Human and machine access under the same control plane.
Built from the ground up to address all of it.
One kernel for AWS IAM, Azure RBAC, GCP IAM, and Kubernetes RBAC.
Risk-routed approvals with separation of duties. One approval authority, always.
Request, generate, approve, deploy, prove — plus evidence-based decommission.
Full visibility for the people who support and govern the platform.
- One kernel, four providers
- 0 standing cloud keys — OIDC only
- Sandbox-first deploys
- Permission boundaries on every role
- Tamper-evident, hash-chained audit
- Not process documents — code, CI and cloud
Five verbs. One path.
Every grant walks the same spine, and gets narrower at each step.
Request
Guided wizard. Policy preview as you type. Failures return guidance.
Generate
Nothing hand-written. The grant is generated and versioned.
Approve
Risk routes the review. Separation of duties throughout.
Deploy
Sandbox first, then the target. No standing keys. Replay-safe.
Prove
Hash-chained and tamper-evident. Every step leaves an artifact.
Doors, not keys.
Agents and CI request grants through Mission Control and machine APIs — the same five steps as everyone else.
Standing keys. Long-lived roles. Broad permissions that accumulate. No velocity limits. Agents inherit the same problems as humans — only faster.
Temporary doors. Every machine grant carries an expiry and a named human sponsor, with velocity and budget caps. Least privilege by construction for every principal — human or machine.
Overstate nothing
The audit chain is hash-chained and tamper-evident: each entry commits to the one before it, so a deletion or a reorder is detectable. It is not signed and not anchored — those are not switched on, so we do not claim them. We say tamper-evident, never immutable. Claims match mechanisms, including this one.
Every problem is an opportunity in disguise.
The safe path can also be the fast path. Tell us about your team and we'll show you Bastion on sample data — no AWS account required, no sales runaround.
