"The auditor asks a seemingly simple question: “Who approved that IAM policy change last Thursday?” And suddenly five people are combing through logs, jumping between Slack threads, and cross-referencing tagging spreadsheets—trying to recreate context that should’ve been available instantly."
If you lead DevSecOps or cloud governance, you've lived this moment.
That's not audit-readiness. That's audit-panic.
Because the reality is: most cloud teams aren't audit-ready by design.
They're reactive. Manual. Patchworked together. And the risk isn't just failing a compliance check—it's the operational drag that comes from not knowing where you stand until it's too late.
Cloudshot was built to change that.
Here's What Real Audit-Readiness Looks Like
You know who owns every resource—instantly
Every compute instance, every managed service, every container—clearly tied to a team and owner. No more guesswork. No more Slack messages asking "is this yours?" With Cloudshot, accountability is visible, live, and never outdated.
You see IAM risk before it becomes a ticket
Access policies are fluid. But that doesn't mean visibility should be. Cloudshot maps IAM permissions and visualizes drift the moment it happens—across AWS, Azure, and GCP. You know where the risks are. Before they're tickets. Before they're incidents.
You track tag hygiene like uptime
Tagging doesn't live in spreadsheets anymore. Cloudshot continuously audits tag compliance, scores hygiene across your infra, and flags violations in real time. Now your tags aren't just "nice to have"—they're actually enforced.
You catch drift before the quarter ends
A public bucket. Disabled encryption. An instance spun up outside policy. With Cloudshot, you don't discover drift at audit time—you fix it when it happens. With alerts tied to ownership, nothing slips past unnoticed.
You don't prep for audits. You stay ready.
Cloudshot dashboards aren't reports you generate—they're live systems you monitor. You can export audit trails, compliance logs, and tagging reports on demand. Audit day isn't a scramble. It's just another day.
Cloudshot replaces manual prep with continuous, reliable visibility.
It's not about more reports. It's about fewer surprises.
Why This Matters
Most compliance breakdowns aren't because of bad security teams. They happen because of bad systems.
When visibility is delayed, shared ownership gets blurry. When drift detection is manual, violations stay invisible. And when audit readiness depends on "project mode," it's already broken.
That's why Cloudshot isn't a compliance tool you run during audit season. It's a visibility engine that keeps your team clear, aligned, and always ready.
Real-time team-level ownership of all cloud resources
Every resource—whether it's a container, VM, or database—is automatically linked to the right team or individual. No more guessing who owns what. Accountability is clear, consistent, and visible by default.
Live IAM policy mapping and drift alerts across cloud platforms
See who has access to what, when permissions shift, and where risks are introduced. Cloudshot continuously monitors IAM drift across AWS, Azure, and GCP—so you can fix it before it breaks policy.
Continuous tag scoring with instant hygiene feedback
Cloudshot audits your tagging strategy in real time and assigns a dynamic tag health score across your infra. You'll know when standards are slipping—and which teams need to act—without chasing spreadsheets.
Change attribution linked to actual people—not logs
Every configuration change, permission update, or policy edit is automatically tracked and attributed to a real person or team. Now you don't just know what changed—you know who changed it, and why it matters.
Audit-ready views available on demand, 24/7
Whether it's quarter-end or mid-deploy, Cloudshot gives you live dashboards, exportable reports, and policy snapshots. No prep, no panic—just clarity that's always one click away.
Most teams wait until audit season to ask the hard questions. By then, it's already too late to fix them easily.
