USUA LLC is a Texas-based cloud security engineering company specializing in Cloud Identity and Access Risk Management, privileged access, and cloud access security.
We help organizations reduce access risk across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — without introducing controls that make cloud environments unnecessarily difficult for engineering teams to operate.
Give every human and machine identity the access it needs—when it needs it—and no more.
We work directly with cloud and identity environments to identify excessive permissions, standing administrative access, dormant identities, external trust relationships, risky service accounts, API keys, and other non-human (NHI) and machine identity risks.
and establish controls that remain manageable over time.
Give every human and machine identity the access it needs—when it needs it—and no more.
We also support organizations preparing for or maintaining security and compliance programs where access governance, least privilege, privileged access, Multifactor Authentication (MFA), and identity controls are important requirements.
Our team works alongside CloudOps, DevOps, security, infrastructure, and governance teams to take ownership of complex access problems that often fall between traditional IT, cybersecurity, and cloud engineering functions.
We assess, design, and tune identity and access controls across AWS, Azure, and GCP. This includes permissions, roles, policies, federation, external access, service accounts, API keys, and NHIs.
Our focus is on reducing excessive and unnecessary access while maintaining the access engineers need to operate cloud infrastructure effectively.

Our focus is on reducing excessive and unnecessary access while maintaining the access engineers need to operate cloud infrastructure effectively.
We design and implement privileged-access architectures that reduce permanent administrative access.
This includes:
The objective is to replace unnecessary standing privileges with controlled, auditable access whenever practical.
USUA LLC helps organizations strengthen how users authenticate and access applications and cloud environments.
Our work includes:
We place particular emphasis on modern authentication methods designed to reduce phishing and credential-based attacks.
Modern cloud environments contain many non-human identities: applications, workloads, automation pipelines, API keys, service accounts, roles, and other NHIs that can accumulate significant privileges over time.
USUA LLC helps organizations discover and govern these identities through:
We identify access risks, determine where privileges can be reduced, and produce a prioritized remediation plan based on business impact and security exposure.
From there, USUA LLC can work directly with the client's technical teams to implement the remediation, redesign access where necessary, and establish ongoing governance.
A typical engagement follows four stages:
This allows organizations to move beyond identifying IAM problems and actually resolve them.
USUA LLC approaches access security as an engineering problem as much as a security problem.
Controls must reduce risk, but they also need to support deployment pipelines, automation, operational access, incident response, and day-to-day cloud operations.
Start with a Cloud IAM assessment and identify the highest-priority access risks in your environment.
