SOC 2 access control for real infrastructure
SOC 2 and ISO 27001 ask who can reach production, how access is reviewed, and what evidence you have. Spreadsheets of SSH keys fail that story. WarnHack Terminal ties access to identity, records sessions, and makes revoke part of offboarding.
Get audit-ready access evidence without an enterprise PAM project.
Where teams fail access controls
- Access reviews cannot prove current production reachability
- Shared keys and bastion accounts break user attribution
- Offboarding tickets close before keys are removed everywhere
- Auditors ask for session monitoring of privileged access — tooling is missing
- Customer security questionnaires demand screenshots and sample logs you do not have
Controls Terminal supports
- Logical access via roles instead of standing shared secrets
- Evidence of sessions and commands for privileged activity
- Faster joiner/mover/leaver with central revoke
- Clear narrative for Type II evidence collection periods
- Founder-friendly for startups pursuing first SOC 2
Map product features to common asks
- 1
Access provisioning
Invite users, assign roles, scope hosts — document the process in your ISMS and show it in product screenshots.
- 2
Monitoring privileged access
CloudRelay session/command trails support CC6/CC7-style monitoring narratives (work with your auditor on exact mapping).
- 3
Access removal
Revoke on exit day; retain logs per your retention policy for investigations and audits.
Audit prep checklist
- Write/update the access control policy to name Terminal as the interactive access system
- Ensure production hosts used by eng are under Terminal (or dual-run with timeline)
- Produce sample access list by role for the audit window
- Export or capture sample session evidence
- Demonstrate a leaver revoke with timestamp
- Link Terminal to your vendor inventory and risk assessment
FAQ
Does using Terminal make us SOC 2 certified?
No tool certifies you. Terminal helps implement and evidence access controls your auditor will test. You still need policies, reviews, and a full program.
Will this work for ISO 27001 as well?
The same patterns — least privilege, logging, joiner/leaver — support ISO 27001 access control themes. Map controls with your implementer.
Do you sign customer security exhibits?
