What IAM Access Analyzer Misses
Internal IAM Risks
IAM Access Analyzer only detects external access. It misses overprivileged internal roles, unused permissions, and policy misconfigurations.
Cross-Account Visibility
No unified dashboard across accounts. You must check each account individually, making enterprise-wide analysis difficult.
Risk Prioritization
Findings lack risk scoring and prioritization. You're left to manually assess which issues matter most.
Compliance Reporting
No exportable reports for auditors or stakeholders. Console-only access makes compliance documentation manual.
