Multi-Cloud Access Management under NIST 800-53

Multi-cloud environments move fast. Identities, roles, and permissions cross AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud in seconds. Without unified access management, every account is a potential entry point. NIST 800-53 makes this problem concrete: strict identity governance, continuous monitoring, and enforced least privilege across all systems.

Multi-Cloud Access Management under NIST 800-53 starts with a single source of truth for identities. You need centralized authentication that talks to every provider. Group policies map to federated roles. Credentials expire. Temporary tokens enforce time limits. Every login is logged, every privilege change tracked.

Control is not enough. You must prove it. NIST 800-53 demands audit-ready evidence—who accessed what, when, and why. Multi-cloud access logs must flow into one place, correlated with identity events. This enables incident response in minutes instead of days.

Encryption is mandatory. NIST 800-53 control families like AC (Access Control) and SC (System and Communications Protection) require all credential data to move over secure channels and be stored with strong cryptography. The same policy covers API keys, secrets, and OAuth tokens.

Automation makes compliance real. Manual role assignment fails at scale. Policy-driven provisioning ensures that no new account launches without passing compliance checks. Revocation is instant when a role changes or a project ends.

Multi-cloud access management aligned to NIST 800-53 is not a checklist—it is a security system that keeps accounts contained even when workloads shift between providers. Build it once, enforce it everywhere, and keep evidence ready for audits at any moment.
