ARCON Cloud Governance
Govern cloud access — ARCON Cloud Governance discovers and right-sizes over-permissioned cloud identities across AWS, Azure and GCP, enforcing least privilege where identity is the cloud perimeter (CIEM).
How it’s rated
Full scoreboard ↓Quick answer
ARCON Cloud Governance provides visibility into and control over cloud access rights and entitlements across AWS, Azure and GCP — right-sizing over-permissioned cloud identities and enforcing least privilege in the cloud, where identity is the new perimeter (CIEM). As organisations move to the cloud, they accumulate vast numbers of identities (users, roles, service accounts, machine identities) with entitlements almost always far broader than needed — and excessive cloud permissions are a top cloud attack path, because a compromised over-permissioned cloud identity inherits all its access. Cloud IAM is complex and permissions drift wildly, so most organisations have huge, invisible cloud over-permissioning. ARCON Cloud Governance addresses it: discovering the cloud identities and their entitlements across the major clouds, revealing where access is excessive, and helping right-size to least privilege — governing cloud access as part of an identity-first model. Part of ARCON’s platform (India-built, Gartner-recognised for PAM), it extends privileged-access control into the cloud-identity dimension, complementing on-prem PAM with cloud governance.

Understand CIEM before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is it?
ARCON’s cloud governance (CIEM) — discovering and right-sizing over-permissioned cloud identities across AWS, Azure and GCP, enforcing least privilege where identity is the cloud perimeter, identity-first.
Cloud over-permissioning vs ARCON Cloud Governance — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Cloud over-permissioning (unmanaged) | ARCON Cloud Governance |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud entitlements | Over-permissioned | Right-sized |
| Visibility | Invisible sprawl | Discovered & mapped |
| Machine identities | Ignored | Covered |
| Clouds | Per-cloud silos | One multi-cloud view |
| Attack surface | Large | Shrunk |
| Drift | Creeps up | Continuously monitored |
| Approach | Cloud silo | Identity-first, with PAM |
| Fit | Foreign | India-built |
India-built, identity-led CIEM — Wiz/Prisma Cloud (hub live) offer CNAPP CIEM; Securden (hub live) is identity-led.

Here’s what genuinely sets ARCON Cloud Governance apart from the alternatives.
Cloud over-permissioning is a top attack path
Cloud environments accumulate vast identities with entitlements far broader than needed — and excessive cloud permissions are a top cloud attack path: compromise an over-permissioned cloud identity and you inherit all its access. ARCON Cloud Governance discovers and right-sizes these entitlements, closing the over-permissioning attackers exploit. As identity becomes the cloud perimeter, governing cloud entitlements is essential.
You can’t right-size what you can’t see
Cloud IAM is complex and permissions drift wildly, so most organisations have huge, invisible cloud over-permissioning. ARCON Cloud Governance discovers the cloud identities and their entitlements across AWS, Azure and GCP, revealing where access is excessive. That visibility — an actual map of cloud entitlements and their risk — is the essential first step most organisations lack.
Right-size to least privilege
Discovery is only useful if you act: ARCON Cloud Governance helps right-size cloud entitlements to least privilege, removing the excessive access. Because so much cloud access is granted broadly ‘just in case’ and never used, there’s usually enormous scope to reduce entitlements safely — shrinking the cloud attack surface substantially. Right-sizing to least privilege is the highest-impact cloud-identity risk reduction.
Extend PAM into the cloud-identity dimension
On-prem PAM secures privileged accounts, but the cloud has its own vast, complex identity-and-entitlement landscape that traditional PAM wasn’t built for. ARCON Cloud Governance extends ARCON’s privileged-access control into the cloud-identity dimension — so you govern cloud entitlements alongside your on-prem privileged access, in one identity-first platform. Covering cloud identity as part of your identity security, not a separate silo, is the coherent approach.
Identity-first, multi-cloud
ARCON Cloud Governance fits its identity-first model — treating cloud identity as part of the identity perimeter — and works across AWS, Azure and GCP for one multi-cloud view. Most enterprises are multi-cloud, and governing entitlements consistently across clouds (rather than per-cloud silos) is a real advantage. One identity-first, multi-cloud view of entitlement risk is what modern cloud identity needs.
The honest positioning
ARCON Cloud Governance is India-built CIEM within an identity-first platform — best when you want cloud entitlements governed alongside ARCON’s PAM and identity security, especially for Indian/BFSI buyers. CIEM specialists and CNAPP vendors (Wiz, Palo Alto Prisma Cloud — hub live) also offer CIEM; Securden (hub live) has identity-led CIEM. For India-fit, identity-led cloud governance unified with PAM, ARCON is compelling; TechBag scopes it and quotes in INR/GST.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“ARCON Cloud Governance revealed vast cloud over-permissioning we couldn’t see — then right-sized it. Excessive cloud access is a top attack path; now ours is governed. India-built, locally supported.”
“You can’t right-size what you can’t see — it discovered all our cloud identities and entitlements across AWS and Azure. The visibility was eye-opening.”
“It extends our ARCON PAM into the cloud — cloud entitlements governed alongside our on-prem privileged access, one identity-first platform. Not a separate silo.”
“Multi-cloud in one view — AWS, Azure and GCP entitlements consistently. Cloud-identity risk across the whole estate, identity-first.”
“So much cloud access was granted broadly and never used — Cloud Governance found it and we removed it safely. Huge attack-surface reduction.”
“As part of our ARCON platform, cloud governance sits alongside PAM and compliance — India-fit, one vendor. The unified, home-ground approach.”
“We compared Wiz and Prisma Cloud CIEM — strong CNAPP. For cloud entitlements unified with our ARCON PAM and India-fit, ARCON fit. Scope CNAPP vs identity-led.”
“Continuous monitoring caught entitlement drift — permissions creeping back up. Cloud least privilege that stays least privilege.”

What does cloud over-permissioning cost you?
Drag the sliders (cloud identities as scale proxy; IT-hour cost as loaded rate). Estimates assume ~1 hour per identity per year of exposure from cloud over-permissioning, with ~65% removed by cloud governance — the avoided cloud-breach value from shrinking the entitlement attack surface is the larger unpriced win.
