Lamprey is designed for teams that need cloud visibility, compliance reporting, and remediation control without handing persistent access or scan data to a third party. Run it outside your organization through the cloud, or inside an air-gapped boundary; either way it gives operators enough context to prioritize real exposure while keeping deployment details, evidence, and credentials in your custody.
Cloud visibility and classification, woven into the operation and kept inside your boundary.
Deploy the fabric outside your organization through the cloud, or inside as an air-gapped install. Findings, samples, credentials, and audit trails stay inside your boundary, aligned to your existing security and governance model.
Use short-lived credentials for discovery and scoped write access only after approval, reducing the blast radius of both mistakes and compromise.
Run lightweight gateways near the resources they inspect while centralizing evidence, status, and workflow where operators can act on it.
Preserve who requested, approved, and executed each sensitive action so remediation can be reviewed as an operational control, not a black box.
Covers AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and databases. Runs inside the customer environment with no scan-data SaaS. Access stays scoped through ephemeral credentials and audited approvals.
Build a current view of cloud assets, configuration drift, identity exposure, and workload posture across the environments a security team already operates.
We design around zero standing privilege: scan access is minted just in time, scoped to the operation, and revoked automatically. Remediation remains approval-gated and auditable. The fabric is intentionally structured for environments where a scanner must earn each action instead of accumulating broad permanent trust.
Zero standing privilege: access is minted just in time, scoped to the operation, and revoked automatically.
Identify sensitive data patterns, exposed storage paths, and access-control gaps without turning samples and findings into another external data exhaust.
Connect technical findings to control families, preserve audit-ready context, and make posture work easier to explain to compliance and leadership teams.
Translate findings into reviewable plans, require human approval before sensitive changes, and retain the trail needed to prove what happened.
Operating multi-cloud visibility, prioritization, and remediation with local custody.
Evidence collection aligned to control mapping, reporting, and repeatable review workflows within existing compliance program architectures.
Gateway-based scanning for isolated customer environments where access boundaries aren't mere formality.
Orchestration flows down through runtime and tools into the Woven Security & Governance Fabric, where identity, guardrails, approval gates and the audit ledger sit inline on every call. Attacks ride the same rails; the fabric is where they stop.
“Every action carries an identity, an authorization, and a receipt. A system prompt is a request; a sandbox is a fact.”
Principles 10 and 11 of the doctrine, and the fabric is what makes them enforcement instead of etiquette: the controls that hold are deterministic, and they live outside the model.
Chapter 10: Security Is a Design Constraint →Lamprey runs two ways: outside your organization through the cloud, or inside as an air-gapped deployment. Island Mountain supports environments where regulatory, contractual, or operational pressure requires direct control of telemetry, secrets, network paths, and audit records. The goal is to fit security work into constrained environments without forcing teams to choose between useful automation and responsible custody.
We build & deploy woven security and governance fabrics with in-house operating systems for organizations that need actionable security posture data, not another permanently privileged SaaS integration. The current scope of work is centered on security and governance automation that stays 100% accountable to the teams that operate it.
Woven security services and on-site hardware, fit to environments that require direct custody.
We comprehensively plan and professionally facilitate deployments where regulatory, contractual, or operational pressure requires direct control of telemetry, secrets, network paths, and audit records. Our goal is to fit security work into constrained environments without forcing teams to choose between useful automation and responsible custody. The same fabric is woven into every configuration we and folds into the broader Island Mountain sovereign stack.
The fabric and its console are what a forward deployment leaves behind: the part that keeps holding every action to an identity and a receipt long after the engagement ends and your team is running the thing themselves.

TA488's payload never needed privileges of its own. It inherited an authenticated Zimbra session, made only legitimate API calls, and minted itself an app-specific password that survives a password reset. A process with human session authority that provisions its own durable credential is the default shape of an AI agent.

Every item on that list quietly moves a security control out of the model and into infrastructure. The only question left is whose building it sits in.

As the models earn it, the scaffolding gives way to a saddle, and the controls that hold, identity, egress, metering, audit, a kill switch, move off the animal and into the paddock.
