# Access Control (IAM) 

Ekyam adheres to a **Zero-Standing-Access principle**, a policy which prohibits persistent or “standing” access to production environments.  

We also have a **Just-in-Time (JIT) “Break-Glass” Protocol**, where different access is provided to different users like: 

→ **Request:** An audited ticket should be submitted by the technical team specifying the purpose, duration, and resources. 

→ **Approval (read-only):** Temporary Read-only access required from EM’s or DevOps for troubleshooting.

→ **Write/Emergency Access:** Requires mandatory approval from our Director of Engineering for any sensitive write access for emergency fixes.

→ **Execution:** Sessions are logged, supervised and are adhered to the four-eye-principle (second approver). The access gets automatically expired after the approved duration.
