What It Does
How Sonrai Protects GCP
Sonrai continuously monitors which sensitive permissions every identity in your GCP org actually uses – users, groups, and service accounts. It then automatically generates organization-level IAM Deny policies that block everything unused, with every active workload exempted.
Deploy with one click, then govern restricted permissions through Permissions on Demand and JIT right in your ChatOps (Slack, Teams, or Email) system. You never need to manually update policies to reflect new access.
Deny policy automation
IAM Deny policies are powerful but painful to author and maintain by hand at org scale. Sonrai writes them from real usage data, manages exemptions, and keeps them current as projects and identities change.
JIT without the entitlement backlog
GCP PAM requires you to design entitlements ahead of time: which roles, which resources, which approvers, per scope. Sonrai’s Permissions on Demand triggers automatically the moment access is denied and routes to owners it discovers from your cloud. Nothing to pre-build.
Cloud native tooling – no bloat, no proxies
Don’t add jump boxes, proxies, or other layers unnecessarily. GCP IAM has the tools – it’s assembling them and automating policy creation / management that’s hard.
A future-proof default deny state
New projects, service accounts, and identities inherit the guardrails at creation.

What it Looks Like
Why use it
GCP PAM Replacement + Deny Policy Automation
GCP gives you the primitives – PAM entitlements for JIT elevation, Deny policies for guardrails – but assembling them into least privilege is a manual engineering project: entitlements defined scope by scope, Deny policies authored and reconciled by hand, and no usage intelligence telling you what’s safe to restrict. The Cloud Permissions Firewall takes the ingredient and gives you the least privilege button: one-click default deny built from usage data, with on-demand access workflows that trigger the moment a legitimate need appears. No other tool gives results this quickly on risk reduction and future-proofing. Not visibility, not auditability – action.
