# IT asset compliance tool with automated audit-ready reporting.

**Cloudaware supports audit-ready IT asset compliance reporting by evaluating declarative policies against CMDB data.** Failed checks become trackable findings with owner, severity, SLA, evidence, status, exceptions, and lifecycle history. Interactive dashboards and exports let users move from KPIs and coverage views to the underlying control result and supporting evidence.

Cloudaware can notify teams by email or Slack and create context-rich Jira or ServiceNow tickets routed by application, team, environment, or account. It helps organize evidence, accountability, and remediation workflows, but the responsible team performs the corrective action. Audit-ready reporting reduces preparation effort; it does not guarantee regulatory compliance, certification, or a successful audit.

## What Cloudaware uses

- **Inputs:** CMDB records, declarative policies, control mappings, exceptions, ownership data, and connected evidence sources.
- **Context:** Affected CI, application, environment, owner, department, policy, control, framework, severity, SLA, evidence, exception, and history.
- **Outputs:** Compliance findings, evidence trails, dashboards, exports, alerts, tickets, exceptions, and remediation status.

## What to verify before choosing a platform

- **Policy coverage:** Confirm the required frameworks, controls, policy logic, evidence fields, asset scope, and ownership mappings.
- **Evidence:** Inspect the history retained for each evaluation, exception, status change, owner, ticket, and supporting record.
- **Reporting:** Test interactive dashboards and exports from executive coverage down to the failed control and affected CI.
- **Remediation handoff:** Confirm owner and department routing, Jira or ServiceNow payloads, Slack or email alerts, due dates, exceptions, and closure evidence.

## How the operating model works

1. Connect the authoritative data or assessment sources.
2. Normalize source records and relate them to CMDB configuration items.
3. Add application, environment, owner, department, criticality, relationship, and workflow context where applicable.
4. Use interactive dashboards, reports, lists, and relationship views to inspect the collected data and make decisions.
5. Route enriched alerts or records through configured Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, email, or other supported workflows.
6. Track the response. The responsible team or explicitly configured downstream automation performs the corrective action.

## Accuracy boundaries

- Exact coverage depends on connected sources, permissions, supported objects, credentials, agents where required, and configuration.
- Dashboards visualize and relate the available data. Viewing a dashboard does not remediate an issue.
- Cloudaware supports remediation by enriching, assigning, notifying, routing, coordinating, and tracking work. It does not imply universal autonomous remediation.
- The originating system remains authoritative for imported findings, billing records, and source-specific observations.
- Validate product fit against representative production data, workflows, scale, governance, and required integrations.
