The Challenge

Identity Vulnerabilities in Public Sector Environments

SLTT governments manage vast networks of users, applications, and data, often with limited resources. According to CISA, identity and access management weaknesses contribute to most breaches.

Shadow IT, SaaS Sprawl & Siloed Tools

Agencies lack visibility into all SaaS applications in use, including unsanctioned or high-risk tools, while multiple security tools remain underutilized or unmanaged, leading to waste and inefficiency.

Dormant or Orphaned Accounts

Dormant or orphaned accounts that serve as entry points for attackers.

Overprivileged Users

Users often retain elevated access beyond their job function, violating least privilege and Zero Trust principles.

Manual Reviews & Lack of Automation

Lack of visibility in user access privileges, leading to over-permissioning and privilege escalation risks.

Compliance Gaps

Compliance gaps with federal standards, exacerbated by rising ransomware and nation-state threats.

Lack of Cross-Agency Visibility

Shared service teams struggle to manage identity governance across federated systems.

Our Solution

CloudNuro: Identity-First Visibility for Cloud, SaaS, and AI

CloudNuro empowers SLTT agencies to achieve rapid, grant-aligned improvements in identity security. Our platform delivers a robust, scalable solution tailored for public sector needs.

Dormant Account Discovery

Automated scanning to identify and flag inactive accounts (e.g., unused for 30+ days), enabling swift revocation to prevent exploitation.

Comprehensive User Visibility

Real-time dashboards showing all users, their application-level access, and associated roles—supporting RBAC and least privilege principles.

Application-Specific Insights

Granular views of permissions per application, including audit logs for compliance reporting and integration with existing IT systems.

Seamless Integration & Scalability

Cloud-based deployment with APIs for easy adoption, plus reporting tools for SLCGP-required capability assessments.

Multi-Agency Reporting

Centralized identity and access reporting to manage entitlements, track usage, and enforce least privilege across multi-tenant environments.

Designed for Ease of Use

CloudNuro is designed for ease of use, with no-code configurations to empower non-technical teams in SLTT environments.

Grant Alignment

CloudNuro directly supports SLCGP objectives by strengthening cybersecurity governance, improving identity posture visibility, enforcing least privilege access, and reducing risk from dormant or overprovisioned accounts across cloud and SaaS environments.

Supported Objectives

Objective 1

Governance

Centralized visibility across departments, shared services, and applications — with dashboards that support cross-agency and grant-level oversight.

Objective 2

Posture Assessment

Continuous discovery of dormant accounts, shadow IT, over-provisioned access, and unmanaged SaaS sprawl.

Objective 3

Security Protections

Policy-based monitoring of access changes, enforcement of least privilege and role separation.

Objective 4

Risk Reduction

Reduce attack surface through automated remediation workflows, account cleanup, and SaaS tool right-sizing. Eliminates excessive privileges and inactive accounts to minimize attack surface.

Alignment with SLCGP and CPGs

The SLCGP prioritizes implementation of the Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPGs) — a baseline framework developed by CISA to help SLTT governments.

CPG ID Focus How CloudNuro Supports It
CPG 3.D Revoke Credentials for Departing Staff CloudNuro automates detection of dormant and inactive accounts, enabling timely revocation and reducing lingering access risk.
CPG 3.H Enforce Least Privilege Access The platform supports continuous access reviews and role-level analysis, helping agencies minimize excessive privileges and enforce Zero Trust principles.
CPG 3.G Separate User and Privileged Accounts CloudNuro provides granular visibility into user roles and entitlements across applications, allowing teams to audit and enforce separation of duties.
CPG 2.C Manage Software Inventory CloudNuro's SaaS discovery engine identifies all SaaS tools in use — including shadow IT — to establish governance and reduce unauthorized exposure.
CPG 2.A Monitor Network and Access Activity Role-change monitoring, account behavior risk scoring, and activity dashboards help teams proactively detect threats.

Benefits and Outcomes

CloudNuro delivers measurable results aligned with SLCGP funding priorities and operational needs of SLTT agencies.

Risk Reduction

Reduce breach likelihood by 40–60% through proactive discovery and remediation of dormant, orphaned, and overprivileged accounts (based on industry benchmarks).

Cost Efficiency

Eligible under SLCGP funding, with 80% of state-allocated funds required to flow to local governments, and at least 25% dedicated to rural areas — enabling affordable adoption for shared services and distributed agencies.

Compliance and Reporting

Built-in tools support CISA-required assessments, Cybersecurity Plans, and performance tracking, helping agencies demonstrate progress and fulfill grant obligations.

Cost Optimization

Identify and eliminate underutilized security subscriptions. Right size M365, Salesforce, IaaS Platform, and multiple third-party licenses to reclaim IT spend and demonstrate fiscal responsibility.

Quick ROI

Deploy in days — not months — with immediate visibility into identity risk, accelerating threat detection and remediation efforts across cloud and SaaS environments.

Why It Matters for SLCGP

CloudNuro helps fulfill SLCGP's intent to reduce systemic cyber risk through access visibility, supporting both cybersecurity planning and Zero Trust implementation. Its low-code integration model and visual analytics make it ideal for SLTT agencies.
