Access Is One of the Biggest Attack Surfaces Most Businesses Ignore
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Excess permissions, orphaned accounts and weak authentication are behind a huge share of breaches. We review and rebuild your identity and access management so the right people have the right access, and nothing more.

// Identity and Access Management
Access That Follows the Principle of Least Privilege
Most organisations accumulate access sprawl without realising it. Former employees keep active accounts, contractors retain admin rights long after a project ends, and permissions get copied from one user to the next without review. We audit your identity systems and design an access model that actually matches how your business works.
We support UK organisations across cloud platforms, on-premises Active Directory and hybrid identity environments.

Why Identity Is the New Perimeter
Compromised Credentials Lead the Way In
Stolen or reused credentials remain one of the most common routes to initial access.
// How We Assess and Improve Your IAM
- Full access audit across cloud, on-premises and SaaS identity systems
- Privileged account and admin role review, including service and shared accounts

What you get
// Platforms and Frameworks We Work With
// Why Pluto Cyber Security
Practical IAM, Not a Theoretical Framework
We design access models that your team can actually maintain, not a rigid framework that falls apart within months. Every recommendation accounts for how your business really operates, so security and productivity work together rather than against each other.
Cloud, On-Premises and Hybrid
Experience across Entra ID, AWS IAM, Okta and traditional Active Directory.
Built around How Teams Work
Access models designed to fit your real business functions, not a template.
Audit-Ready Evidence
Documented access control that satisfies ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials and UK GDPR reviewers.
Most assessments take one to three weeks depending on the number of systems and identity providers involved.
