Segregation of duties
Continuously test for toxic entitlement combinations. An identity that can initiate and approve a payment is flagged with evidence.
An exam-ready estate, proven continuously
Trident measures segregation of duties, privileged access, and logging, then continuously pentests the paths that reach core banking systems. Every exposure is reproduced and recorded in an audit-ready trail examiners can follow.

How it works
From connection to audit-ready posture
Move from a read-only connection to a scored estate and routed fix through a process an examiner can follow.
01
Connect the estate
Attach read-only roles across every account. Trident inventories systems, identities, and data stores.
02
Score the controls
Segregation of duties, privileged access, and logging coverage are measured against the live estate.
03
Prove the exposure
Over-privileged roles and exam findings are reproduced and ranked by the systems they actually reach.
04
Route the remediation
Each finding ships its single choke-point fix to the owning team, logged for the audit trail.
Capabilities
Built for the scrutiny banking demands
Over-privileged IAM, surfaced
Standing admin, unused break-glass, and wildcard policies across accounts are ranked by what they can actually reach, not by raw permission count.
Audit-ready trail
Every policy change, finding, and fix is logged in order, so an examiner can follow the estate end to end without a fire drill.
Paths to core systems
Exposure, identity, and findings correlate into ordered paths that reach core banking data across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Snowflake.
Pentested controls
Exercise access control and network segmentation across real flows, with reproducible evidence for the conditions Trident validates.
Remediation, routed
Each finding ships its choke-point fix as a draft PR or Terraform-IAM change, human-reviewed before anything moves.
Outcomes
Defensible, not just busy
Give examiners and your board the controls that hold and the few conflicts that do not, each backed by evidence.

Scope
Controls tested against the estate, not the policy document
The gap that matters is between the control as written and the control as implemented in cloud identity.
What banking security testing covers here
Banking supervision cares less about the count of vulnerabilities than about whether the controls a bank claims to operate actually hold. Trident tests that directly: whether segregation of duties survives contact with cloud IAM, whether privileged access is genuinely time-bound, and whether any path reaches core banking or payment systems. Findings are recorded with the evidence trail an examiner can follow.
- Segregation of duties
- Toxic entitlement combinations across systems — most importantly any identity that can both initiate and approve a payment, whether directly or through a role it can assume.
- Privileged access
- Standing administrative rights, unused break-glass accounts, wildcard policies, and whether elevation is genuinely time-bound and reviewed or merely documented as such.
- Core system reachability
- Which identities and networks can reach core banking, ledger, and payment infrastructure, including the indirect routes through shared services and CI systems.
- Third-party and vendor access
- External roles, cross-account trust, and vendor integrations that hold standing access, ranked by what that access can actually reach rather than by contract tier.
- Evidence retention
- A durable record of what was tested, what was proven, who remediated it, and when it was retested — the artefact that survives examiner questions months later.
Frequently asked
Questions teams ask before they start
Does Trident replace our regulatory examination?
No. Trident produces security testing evidence; it does not perform regulatory examinations, issue attestations, or determine compliance with FFIEC or any supervisory expectation. Those determinations rest with your examiners and internal audit function.
Can it run without deploying agents in our environment?
Yes. Cloud mapping uses read-only access to configuration and metadata. Application testing runs against a target you authorize. Neither requires software installed inside core banking systems.
How is segregation of duties actually tested?
By computing effective permissions after all policies, boundaries, and role-assumption chains are resolved, then checking whether any resulting identity holds both sides of a conflicting duty. Direct grants are the easy case; the violations that matter are usually reachable only through an assumable role.
What about our third-party and vendor risk obligations?
Vendor access appears in the graph as identities and trust relationships like any other, so you can see what a given integration can reach. It supports vendor risk work but does not replace due diligence, contractual review, or ongoing vendor management.
