Secrets Manager Access Audit Tool
aws-samples
Enterprise customers lacked visibility across complex multi-account AWS environments to answer: "Who has IAM permissions to access this specific secret, and what is the business justification for their access?"
Approach
- Conducted customer discovery through structured interviews to surface the core audit gap
- Authored a full PRD defining MVP scope, user personas, acceptance criteria, and success metrics
- Built a Python CLI tool with Identity Center cross-account resolution, table/JSON/YAML output formats, and compliance evidence generation
KMS Key Access Audit Tool
aws-samples
Security teams had no way to answer "who can use this KMS key?" across IAM policies, key policies, and KMS grants in a single view — forcing manual evidence gathering for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA audits.
Approach
- Identified the three-source access evaluation gap through field discovery with enterprise security teams
- Authored product requirements defining user attestation, audit evidence, and governance use cases
- Built a Python CLI merging IAM simulation, key policy parsing, and grant enumeration with Identity Center resolution
