Managed Cloud SecurityPosture Management (CSPM)for AWS, Azure and GCP
Indrasol finds the cloud misconfigurations attackers actually exploit, fixes them alongside your team, and keeps your multi-cloud environment continuously audit-ready, not once a quarter.
- Continuous posture monitoring across AWS, Azure and GCP, misconfigurations, identity risk and attack paths in one prioritised queue.
- We operate the CSPM platform you already own, or deploy one for you, tuned so the alert queue is workable from day one.
- Every control mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and CMMC, so audit evidence is collected continuously instead of rebuilt each cycle.

Trusted to secure cloud environments for enterprises across industries
Most cloud breaches don't start with a zero-day. They start with a setting.
Security misconfiguration is its own category in the OWASP Top 10 (A05:2021) for a reason. In cloud environments, configuration is the attack surface, and it changes every time someone ships.
Misconfigurations outpace review
Public buckets, over-permissive IAM, open security groups. Cloud misconfigurations are created faster than any human review process can catch them. One publicly readable storage bucket or one wildcard IAM policy is enough to turn a routine deployment into a disclosure event, a customer notification and a stalled sales cycle.
Native tools disagree
AWS Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Google Security Command Center each score posture differently. When the board asks how secure the cloud is, there is no single defensible answer, only three dashboards that don't reconcile.
Thousands of findings, no attack path
A severity list is not a priority list. Without attack path analysis, a genuinely reachable, exploitable, internet-exposed risk sits at position 400 behind hundreds of theoretical criticals, and your engineers stop opening the tool.
Multi-cloud has no single owner
Every new account, subscription and project drifts from policy the moment it is created. Without consistent cloud governance across providers, posture is a function of who provisioned what, and when.
Audit evidence is still manual
If posture isn't recorded continuously, every SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or CMMC cycle becomes weeks of screenshots, spreadsheet chasing and engineering time that should have gone to the roadmap.
You bought CSPM and nobody operates it
Licences are live, findings are accumulating, remediation is never scheduled. The tool has become a compliance line item instead of a control, and renewal is coming.
What changes when cloud posture is managed continuously
CSPM is not a security line item, it is what removes cloud risk from the critical path of your revenue, your audits and your engineering roadmap.
| Before managed CSPM | After managed CSPM with Indrasol |
|---|---|
| Posture reviewed quarterly, or when something breaks | Posture monitored continuously; drift flagged within minutes of the change |
| Three cloud consoles, three different risk scores | One prioritised risk register across AWS, Azure and GCP |
| Findings ranked by CVSS severity alone | Findings ranked by exploitable attack path, blast radius and data exposure |
| Audit evidence rebuilt manually every cycle | Control evidence collected continuously and mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and CMMC |
| Security review stalls the enterprise deal | Posture reporting handed to the prospect's security team in days, not weeks |
| CSPM licence owned, unused | Platform tuned, alerts triaged, remediation tickets closed against an SLA |
| Remediation depends on who has time | Named engineering owner, agreed SLA per severity tier, monthly posture review |
What is Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)?
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is the continuous identification, prioritisation and remediation of misconfigurations, policy violations and compliance gaps across cloud infrastructure. CSPM tools assess AWS, Azure and GCP configurations against security benchmarks and regulatory frameworks, then flag risks such as public storage, excessive IAM permissions and unencrypted data. CSPM secures the cloud control plane; CWPP secures the workloads running inside it.
Who needs CSPM?
- Any organisation running production workloads in more than one cloud account, subscription or project.
- CSPM becomes essential once configuration changes outpace manual review, typically when a platform team adopts infrastructure-as-code, a company crosses roughly 100 cloud resources, or a first enterprise customer sends a security questionnaire.
When do organisations typically adopt CSPM?
- Before or during a SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or CMMC audit cycle.
- During a cloud migration or a move from single-cloud to multi-cloud.
- After a misconfiguration incident, penetration test finding or failed customer security review.
- When a security team inherits cloud accounts it did not build and needs a baseline.
- When native cloud tooling produces more alerts than the team can triage.
How CSPM differs from adjacent categories
CSPM covers the cloud control plane: configuration, identity permissions, network exposure and compliance state. CWPP (Cloud Workload Protection Platform) covers what runs inside, hosts, containers and serverless functions at runtime. CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform) is the consolidated platform category that bundles CSPM, CWPP, CIEM and often code scanning. CASB governs SaaS application access, not infrastructure. DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) locates and classifies sensitive data, then reports who can reach it. A full comparison table appears below.
Five core CSPM capabilities
- Asset discovery and inventory across every cloud account, subscription and project, including the ones nobody documented.
- Continuous misconfiguration detection against CIS Benchmarks, cloud provider best practice and your own policy baseline.
- Attack path analysis that connects exposure, identity and data to show which findings are genuinely reachable.
- Compliance mapping that translates technical findings into SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS and CMMC control evidence.
- Guardrails and automated remediation that prevent the same misconfiguration from recurring in the next deployment.
Why enterprises choose Indrasol for managed CSPM
Most CSPM vendors sell you a platform and leave you the findings. Indrasol is the engineering team that operates it, we build cloud infrastructure and secure it, which means our remediation recommendations are written by people who have shipped the same architecture.
We build the cloud we secure
Indrasol's cloud engineering practice delivers cloud-native application development, DevSecOps and cloud migration. Our CSPM findings arrive with a remediation path your platform team can actually merge, not a generic control description.
Platform-agnostic, platform-fluent
If you already own Wiz, Microsoft Defender for Cloud or a native toolset, we operate it. If you don't, we help you select and deploy the right platform for your architecture, we are not reselling a single SKU.
Security and compliance under one roof
Our GRC practice delivers SOC 2, ISO 27001 and CMMC engagements. Cloud posture findings are mapped directly to the controls your auditor will test, so remediation work counts twice.
24/7 coverage across four regions
Offices in San Ramon (California), Singapore, Hyderabad and Mexico City provide genuine follow-the-sun triage. Cloud drift does not respect business hours.
Measurable, reported outcomes
Every engagement runs against an agreed posture baseline, severity-tiered remediation SLAs and a monthly executive posture report. You will always know whether posture improved, and by how much.
What Indrasol's managed CSPM service covers
Cloud Security Posture Assessment & Baseline
A structured assessment of every cloud account, subscription and project against CIS Benchmarks and your own policy. You receive a prioritised findings register, a posture score per environment and a remediation roadmap sequenced by risk.
Outcome: You know exactly where you stand, in writing, within two to three weeks.
CSPM Platform Selection, Deployment & Tuning
Selection support across Wiz, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Security Hub, Google SCC and CNAPP platforms, followed by deployment, policy tuning and noise reduction. We configure the platform to your risk appetite so the alert queue is workable from day one.
Outcome: A CSPM platform your team will actually open.
Continuous Misconfiguration Monitoring & Remediation
Ongoing detection of configuration drift, public exposure, unencrypted data stores, excessive IAM permissions and policy violations, with triage, ticketing into your workflow and remediation delivered against severity-tiered SLAs.
Outcome: Misconfigurations are closed on a clock, not when someone has capacity.
Attack Path Analysis & Risk Prioritisation
We correlate exposure, identity permissions, vulnerabilities and data sensitivity to map the routes an attacker could actually take through your environment, then rank remediation by reachable impact rather than raw severity.
Outcome: Your team fixes the twenty findings that matter instead of triaging two thousand that don't.
Cloud Compliance & Governance Automation
Control mapping to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR and CMMC; continuous evidence collection; policy-as-code guardrails; and cloud governance standards applied consistently across accounts and providers.
Outcome: Audit evidence is a report you export, not a project you run.
Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Security Architecture
Reference architecture, landing zone design, network segmentation and identity federation across AWS, Azure, GCP and on-premises, so multi-cloud security is designed in rather than retrofitted per account.
Outcome: New accounts inherit your security baseline automatically.
Cloud Threat Detection & Response (24/7)
Managed monitoring, detection engineering and incident response for cloud control plane and workload activity, delivered around the clock from four global locations.
Outcome: Posture management and active defence from the same team, with no handoff gap.

CSPM vs CWPP vs CNAPP vs CASB vs DSPM: what's the difference?
CSPM secures cloud configuration. CWPP secures cloud workloads at runtime. CNAPP is the consolidated platform that includes both, plus identity and often code scanning. CASB governs SaaS application usage. DSPM finds and classifies sensitive data and reports who can reach it. Most organisations start with CSPM because misconfiguration is the most common and most immediately fixable cloud risk.
| Category | What it secures | Primary question | Typical trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
CSPM Cloud Security Posture Management | Cloud control plane: configuration, IAM, network exposure, compliance state | Is my cloud configured securely and compliantly? | First multi-account environment, first audit, or a misconfiguration incident |
CWPP Cloud Workload Protection Platform | Running workloads: VMs, containers, Kubernetes, serverless | Is something malicious happening inside my workloads? | Container adoption, runtime threat detection requirement |
CNAPP Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform | Consolidated: CSPM + CWPP + CIEM, often with code and pipeline scanning | Can I see risk from code to cloud in one platform? | Tool sprawl, or consolidating three or more point products |
CIEM Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management | Cloud identities, permissions and entitlements | Who can do what, and who has far more access than they need? | Permission sprawl across accounts and roles |
CASB Cloud Access Security Broker | SaaS application access and data movement | Who is using which SaaS app, with what data? | Shadow IT and SaaS data-loss concerns |
DSPM Data Security Posture Management | Sensitive data: location, classification, access paths | Where is my sensitive data and who can reach it? | Data sprawl, privacy regulation, AI training data governance |
CDR Cloud Detection & Response | Live cloud threat activity and incident response | Is an attack happening right now, and how do I stop it? | Mature posture programme adding active defence |
Which should you choose first?
- Start with CSPM if you have cloud accounts you haven't fully inventoried, an audit approaching, or no single view of posture across providers. It delivers the fastest measurable risk reduction.
- Add CWPP when containers or Kubernetes carry production workloads and you need runtime visibility.
- Move to CNAPP when you are operating three or more overlapping point tools and consolidation saves more than it costs.
- Add DSPM when sensitive or regulated data sprawl, not configuration, is your primary exposure.
- Add CDR once posture is under control and you need detection and response, not just prevention.
Is Wiz a CSPM?
Wiz began as a CSPM and is now positioned as a CNAPP: it includes CSPM capabilities alongside workload protection, entitlement management and data security posture. Microsoft Defender for Cloud follows a similar pattern, offering CSPM capabilities within a broader cloud protection suite. Indrasol deploys and operates both, along with native AWS and GCP tooling.
