Strengthen IT compliance with CMDB data
Deploy compliance-as-code with version-controlled, declarative policies. Use the CMDB service catalog for scope assertion runs. Transform the results into trackable violations mapped to HIPAA, PCI, and other standards.

Enforce IT compliance using the CMDB context
Blazing at scale without throttling
Evaluate millions of CIs by running checks against CMDB data. Schedule runs across large footprints without drama
Customize everything
Use a DSL to write exactly the controls you need. No loops or fragile variables. Start with our packs, then replace, extend, or develop your own
Built for developers
Work the way you already ship software. Keep policies in Git. Use the built-in tools to manage changes and add unit tests to block regressions
Only actionable signals
Receive fewer alerts. Our IT compliance services only mark as compliant or incomplete when certain. Exceptions are time-boxed
Assess everything. Inspect anything
Establish a single source of truth across multi-cloud and on-prem environments. Read the policy code, data, and results. Cloudaware’s IT compliance management system links each asset and control to the CMDB. See pass/fail, ownership, and gaps at a glance. Drill down to the policy that produced them.
- Unified view of policies, benchmark checks, and violations all in one place
- Coverage heatmaps by cloud, account, subscription, or project with instant pass/fail results
- Real accountability with the owner, app, and environment of every finding
- Open by design. View policy code, evaluation results, and run history
Catch the drift before it becomes a risk
IT compliance shouldn't be an annual fire drill. Schedule evaluations, auto-create enhanced finding records, and keep owners informed. This way, issues will be caught early and resolved on time.
- Transform failed checks into "rule finding" objects with an owner and SLA
- Automatically transition statuses, handle exceptions, and track the lifecycle
- Send alerts to email or Slack the moment controls fall out of tolerance
- Batch-schedule policies to match change windows and audit cadence
Declarative compliance-as-code
Use author policies in a DSL designed for compliance, without loops or fragile variables. The policies are files in your repository that are reviewed in pull requests, tested, and safely rolled out. You can use ours or run your own. With Cloudaware's IT governance and compliance services, you can:
- Use utility classes to avoid copy-paste across checks
- Work with policies that live in Git. Work in VS Code
- Use unit tests and a diff utility for before/after outputs
Evaluate using CMDB, not live cloud APIs
Run evaluations against CMDB data, not ad hoc API scrapes. This allows you to scope using any service catalog attributes in the CMDB. To avoid API throttling, reuse the CMDB data for multiple rule runs. IT compliance automation only marks as compliant or noncompliant when it is certain.
- SOQL-style scoping provides precise and fast queries over CMDB fields
- You control the schedule for each compliance run
- Multi-source inputs, including cloud, VMware/physical, and billing/custom datasets
- Less noise with time-boxed exceptions
Accelerate the remediation process
IT risk and compliance software treats every failed check as a first-class rule finding. Each finding has an owner, severity, SLA, evidence, and lifecycle. Open context-rich tickets and route them by CMDB fields.
- Smart routing by app, team, account, and environment. Auto-escalation based on SLA
- One-click tickets. Jira/ServiceNow from a finding, with evidence attached
- Immutable trail findings and state changes are recorded, not overwritten
- MTTR, reopen rate, and SLA breaches are broken down by service or squad
Demonstrate IT compliance with reports and dashboards
Get interactive dashboards and exports that allow you to click on KPIs, controls, and evidence. Access a permanent history of runs and rule revisions. Audits become repeatable. You're never stuck in a black box.
- Exec to evidence with drill from the top-line KPIs to the exact check result
- Create auditor-ready reports without using spreadsheets
- Run the archives, revisions, and diffs. Know the state between then and now
