AWS Security Partner
Most cloud breaches are not hacks. They are open doors.
The most common way attackers get into a cloud environment is through an account that had more access than it needed. We design and implement access controls that ensure every person and every system can only reach what they are supposed to, and nothing else.
Why access control matters
Over-permissioned accounts are the leading cause of cloud security incidents.
When a developer leaves a company, does their access get revoked that day? When an application connects to a database, does it have permission to delete data it never needs to touch? In most cloud environments, the honest answer to both questions is no.
Kitsilano implements a structured access control model, where every person and system has exactly the permissions they need and no more, every action is logged, and any unexpected change triggers an alert automatically.

How we approach it
Four principles that close the gaps attackers rely on.
Right Access, Right People
Only the access they need
- Every person and system gets only the access their job requires
- Unused permissions removed across your whole environment
- No one can quietly expand their own access
- Regular reviews ensure access stays current as teams change
Job Roles, Not Named Accounts
Role-based access control
- Permanent login credentials stored in code are removed
- Developers get access through their job role, not a personal account
- Applications connect using short-lived, automatic credentials
- Nothing relies on a username and password that could be stolen
Company-Wide Security Rules
Applies to every account
- Security boundaries applied across every account you operate
- Nobody can make data publicly accessible by mistake
- Security logging cannot be switched off
- All activity restricted to your approved regions
Continuous Monitoring
Real-time drift detection
- AWS continuously scans for open doors and exposed resources
- Alert sent the moment something drifts from your baseline
- Common misconfigurations fixed automatically
- Full log of every action, who did it, when, and from where
What we implement
A complete access control stack for your cloud environment.
Block access even when a password is stolen
A second form of verification is required for every login. Stolen credentials alone are not enough to get in.
One login for every system your team uses
Your team signs in once and reaches every account they have access to. No separate passwords to manage or share.
Automatic alerts for anything exposed to the internet
Continuously scans your environment and flags any resource that is publicly accessible but should not be.
Team leaders manage their own access safely
Department heads can grant access to their own team without any risk of accidentally creating higher-level permissions.
A complete record of who did what, and when
Every action in your AWS environment is logged with the person, time, and location. Ready for your auditors on demand.
Safe access across multiple accounts
Move between your development, staging, and production environments securely, with a full audit trail and no shared credentials.
