At first, the IAM role was only supposed to have read-only access.
Then someone gave it write access "just for a day." Two months later, no one noticed it was still there—until the breach investigation began.
This is how most cloud teams lose control of security and compliance. Not because they don't care—but because cloud changes faster than humans can track.
Modern cloud environments are elastic, multi-layered, and shared across dozens of teams. That's why traditional compliance processes—manual checklists, quarterly audits, and ad hoc scans—just don't cut it anymore.
By the time your team runs a report, it's already outdated. By the time an auditor raises a flag, the incident has already occurred. And by the time someone asks, "Why did this role have access?"—you're on the defensive.
The Security Challenge
Most teams operate with outdated security practices. They run quarterly audits and manual checks.
Cloud configurations change daily. Temporary fixes become permanent vulnerabilities. Access rights expand silently.
Without continuous monitoring, you're always reacting to breaches rather than preventing them.
Cloudshot was built for this exact problem.
The Cloudshot Solution
Instead of treating security like a box to tick after deployment, Cloudshot bakes it into the fabric of your cloud operations. It continuously monitors cloud configurations, IAM policies, security violations, and compliance baselines across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
What used to take a team of analysts now runs quietly in the background—alerting only when something actually matters.
Continuous Compliance Monitoring
- 24/7 scanning of your infrastructure
- Real-time comparison against frameworks like HIPAA, SOC2, PCI
- Drift and violations flagged instantly
IAM Drift Detection & Role Misuse Alerts
- Detects overly permissive roles, forgotten tokens, and shadow admin access
- Identifies abnormal privilege use before it becomes a breach
- Shows you who changed what—and when
Zero-Trust Policy Enforcement Across Clouds
- Normalizes access policies across AWS, Azure, and GCP
- Enforces least-privilege automatically
- Gives your DevSecOps team one clean view, not three siloed systems
Real-World Impact
One of our users—a fast-moving fintech platform—used Cloudshot to uncover:
- An open cloud storage bucket, exposed for 6+ weeks
- Created by a temporary test deployment
- Discovered by Cloudshot within minutes
- Linked directly to the originating IAM role
- Shut down before any data left the system
No breach. No damage. No audit chaos. Just silent protection.
Stop reactive security. Implement continuous protection.
Monitor compliance across multiple clouds in one dashboard.
Catch configuration drifts before they become breaches.
"Security isn't a quarterly checklist. It's a continuous state of control."
And with Cloudshot, that state is maintained silently, consistently, and always on.
If your team is still treating security as a checklist instead of an ongoing process, it's time to automate your cloud compliance.
