Cloud Adoption
Bring AWS, Azure, or GCP accounts into the automation layer with controls active from the first resource onward.
Connect
Read-only attachment to your cloud accounts first. Nothing writes during this pass, so the audit record stays untouched while the picture gets built. The agent walks the resource graph on AWS, Azure, or GCP and collects state across identities, network, storage, databases, and audit log settings.
Read-only role provisioned in the accounts. Agent confirmed reachable from a known source IP. Write permissions stay off until the baseline pass finishes and gets reviewed by a human.
- Resource inventory across all attached cloud accounts.
- Identity surface map with role and policy enumeration.
- Network topology snapshot including security rules and cross-account trust.
Baseline
Current state gets checked against your target compliance frameworks. SOC 2, CIS, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, ISO 27001. Every failing control lands in a backlog tagged with its citation, its risk level, and the remediation plan the agent would run if permitted to write.
Connect phase complete. Target frameworks confirmed with the customer in writing. Baseline report reviewed by both sides before any write-capable remediation runs against the environment.
- Full violation backlog mapped to target framework articles.
- Risk-ranked remediation plan per violation.
- Business-critical items flagged for approval queue routing.
Clear
The first remediation waves run. Non-risky items clear on their own: test bucket encryption, missing tags, stale test users, test security group cleanup. Anything that could graze production routes to the mobile approval queue. No production change runs without a human tap, ever.
Baseline report accepted. Write permissions granted for the specific resource types cleared for automation only. Production-touching items held in the backlog until the approval queue is configured from detection through close-out.
- First wave of non-production remediations executed.
- Mobile approval queue configured with the customer's on-call rotation.
- Audit record populated with change tickets and reverse commands for every action.
Govern
Continuous mode switches on. The agent watches the compliance surface without a break. New violations run through the standard remediation chain the moment the detector trips. Drift doesn't accumulate between audits, and the audit pack is ready for a framework assessor whenever one shows up.
First remediation waves complete. Customer has signed off on the continuous-mode runbook. Approval queue exercised against a sample production change on the customer's own schedule, from tap through close-out.
- Continuous compliance mode switched on.
- Weekly violation-close summary delivered to stakeholders.
- Framework-article audit trail available on demand.
Steady state
Your environment runs under continuous governance. Operations, audit prep, and compliance reporting stop being separate activities the team has to plan around. The same agent produces the remediation and the audit record, so when the next framework assessment lands the evidence is already assembled.
30 consecutive days of continuous mode with no escalations outside the approval queue. Audit trail spot-checked and confirmed complete against the framework matrix.
- Continuous operation with full audit trail.
- Ready-to-hand-over framework assessment packs.
- Quarterly review of new violation patterns added to the library.
Attach the agent before the drift starts.
If you're about to spin up a new account or onboard an existing one, bring the target frameworks and the resource types that matter to you. We'll set up the agent in read-only mode and produce the baseline backlog before anything writes into the environment.
