How to visualize IAM Access Analyzer policy validation findings with QuickSight

This blog post explains how to create an Amazon QuickSight dashboard to visualize IAM Access Analyzer policy validation findings, which can help you identify issues, provide actionable recommendations to resolve the issues, and enable you to author functional policies that meet security best practices.

The implementation is a serverless job initiated by Amazon EventBridge rules, which collects IAM policies into a hub account, validates the policies, stores the validation results in an S3 bucket, and uses Athena to query the findings and QuickSight to visualize them.

The benefits of this solution include storing IAM Access Analyzer policy validation results in a scalable and cost-effective manner, adding scalability and fault tolerance to your validation workflow, partitioning your evaluation results in Athena, and gaining insights from IAM Access Analyzer policy validation findings with QuickSight dashboards.
