AWS

What is AWS?

‍

AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a comprehensive cloud computing platform that provides infrastructure, storage, databases, networking, security, and application services to organizations of all sizes. It is widely adopted across enterprises for hosting applications, managing data, and running critical workloads.

As AWS usage grows, access spreads across DevOps, engineering, IT, security, and management teams. With access to AWS accounts comes control over cloud infrastructure, sensitive workloads, and critical resources—making it essential to manage under centralized access governance.

How Corma uses AWS integration to automate access control

‍

The right access on day one
Corma automatically provisions AWS IAM roles and permissions based on HR and identity data, ensuring new employees have the correct access aligned with their role from the start.

Offboarding that completes itself
When an employee leaves, Corma revokes AWS access immediately, preventing orphaned accounts and eliminating lingering privileges.

Permissions that reflect current roles
Role-based templates ensure AWS permissions match employees’ current responsibilities, avoiding over-provisioning and access creep.

An automatic record of every access change
Every provisioning, update, or revocation is logged in real time, providing a complete audit trail for compliance with GDPR, SOC2, ISO 27001, and internal policies.

Live visibility into your full AWS access picture
Corma’s dashboard consolidates user identities, active roles, permissions, and recent activity across AWS accounts, making it easy to detect over-permissioned users, dormant accounts, and potential risks.

Frequently asked questions

‍

How quickly can Corma be connected to AWS?
The initial setup takes approximately one minute. Once AWS and your identity provider are linked, Corma begins syncing access data immediately. Full automation is typically in place within a few days.

Does our team need specialist knowledge to implement this?
No. Corma’s pre-built connectors and streamlined setup process allow IT teams to implement integrations independently without specialized AWS expertise.

How is employee data kept secure during the AWS integration?
Corma uses encryption in transit and at rest, requests minimal permissions, and allows access to be revoked at any time. Data is hosted in France on AWS infrastructure, and Corma maintains ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.
