Clear, honest answers about how CSPM.io connects to your cloud, what it checks, how the AI prioritizes and fixes real risk, and how we keep your data safe. Still stuck? We're one message away.
What CSPM is, what CSPM.io does, and how quickly you can be running.
Cloud Security Posture Management is the practice of continuously monitoring cloud infrastructure for misconfigurations, compliance gaps and security risks. Instead of point-in-time audits, a CSPM platform keeps a live picture of your environment, flags what is risky, and helps you fix it. It answers the question "is my cloud configured securely right now?" across accounts, regions and services.
CSPM.io is an AI-first Cloud Security Posture Management platform for AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. It continuously discovers your cloud resources, runs 578+ security checks across 82 AWS services, and uses AI to surface the handful of findings that pose real risk. It also generates remediation code so your team can fix issues, not just read about them.
Most teams connect their first account and see prioritized findings in minutes. Because connection uses a read-only IAM role rather than agents or network changes, there is no lengthy onboarding project. Your first scan typically completes in under 10 minutes, and discovery and checks run continuously after that.
No. CSPM.io is agentless. It reads your cloud configuration through provider APIs using a read-only role, so there is nothing to install on your servers, containers or workloads. That means no performance overhead, no patching of agents, and no inbound network access into your environment.
For AWS, you create a cross-account IAM role that grants read-only security-audit access and trusts CSPM.io's collector. Each connection is secured with a unique external ID to prevent confused-deputy attacks, so the role can only be assumed in the intended context. No long-lived access keys are stored and no inbound access to your network is required.
Yes. You can book a guided demo to see CSPM.io against a sample or your own environment, and connect a read-only account to get your first prioritized findings quickly. Reach out through the contact page and we will get you set up.
What we scan, how deeply, and which standards we map to.
CSPM.io is a multi-cloud platform covering AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. AWS has full coverage today, while Google Cloud and Azure coverage is actively expanding using the same architecture and unified resource model. A single platform gives you one consistent view of posture across providers.
CSPM.io runs 578+ security checks across 82 AWS services, with resource discovery spanning even more services. Coverage includes core services such as EC2, IAM, S3, RDS, KMS, Lambda, CloudTrail and many more. Checks are continuously validated and the catalog grows over time.
Checks are mapped to widely used frameworks including the CIS Benchmarks (AWS, GCP and Azure), PCI DSS and the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Findings are tied back to specific controls so you can track compliance posture, collect evidence and produce audit-ready reporting.
AWS is fully supported today. Google Cloud and Azure are expanding, with compute, storage and identity coverage growing using the same checks-and-mapping model as AWS. The platform is built around a multi-cloud resource model, so the same queries and workflows apply consistently as new provider coverage ships.
Yes. Beyond the built-in catalog, you can express custom policies to match your organization's standards and exception rules. This lets you enforce internal guardrails alongside CIS, PCI DSS and Well-Architected, so the platform reflects how your teams actually operate.
Risk scoring, plain-English queries, automated fixes — and who stays in control.
Instead of ranking only by static severity, CSPM.io scores risk in context. It weighs factors such as internet exposure, data sensitivity, potential blast radius and how a finding fits into a possible attack path. The result is that thousands of raw findings collapse into the few that are genuinely exploitable, cutting alert noise by up to 80%.
Natural-language query lets you ask questions about your environment in plain English instead of learning a query language. For example, you can ask "show me internet-facing databases without encryption" and get a direct answer. It makes investigation faster for both security specialists and the broader engineering team.
For a given finding, CSPM.io generates ready-to-apply fix code in the format you use — Terraform, CloudFormation or CLI commands. The generated fix is validated and presented for review, often with impact context and rollback guidance, so you can apply it through your normal change process rather than writing the fix from scratch.
No. CSPM.io generates remediation code, but nothing is applied without your explicit review and approval. You stay in control of every change, which preserves your existing change-management and audit processes. The AI does the heavy lifting of writing the fix; humans decide whether and when to apply it.
Attack path analysis looks at how individual weaknesses can be chained together into a real, exploitable route — for example a public resource leading to over-permissioned credentials and then to sensitive data. By understanding these chains and their blast radius, you can prioritize the fixes that actually break the path rather than treating every finding equally.
Least-privilege access, encryption, isolation and self-hosting.
Security is the core of the product, so it is built into how we handle your data. CSPM.io uses least-privilege read-only access, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and isolates each tenant's data. For organizations with strict data-residency or sovereignty requirements, a self-hosted deployment keeps everything inside your own environment.
CSPM.io requests least-privilege, read-only permissions — typically aligned with the cloud provider's security-audit access — so it can read configuration metadata without the ability to modify resources or read your application data. Access is granted through a role you control and can revoke at any time, with every connection scoped by a unique external ID.
Data is encrypted in transit using TLS and encrypted at rest in the platform's data stores. Sensitive credentials and secrets are managed through dedicated secret storage and key management rather than stored in plaintext. Encryption is applied by default across the platform.
Yes. CSPM.io can run as a managed cloud service or be self-hosted in your own environment. Self-hosting suits teams with strict data-residency, sovereignty or air-gap requirements who want findings and data to remain entirely within their own infrastructure, while keeping the same checks and AI capabilities.
Findings and scan history are retained so you can track posture and trends over time, with time-based partitioning that keeps historical data queryable. Retention windows can be configured to match your compliance and storage policies, and self-hosted deployments give you full control over retention and deletion.
Each tenant's data is logically isolated, enforced at the database layer with row-level security so one tenant cannot access another tenant's resources or findings. Connections are scoped per account with unique external IDs, and access controls govern who within your organization can see what.
Transparent pricing, deployment options, and how to reach us.
Pricing is designed to be transparent and predictable rather than opaque or unpredictable usage-based billing that spikes without warning. The goal is enterprise-grade capability at a fraction of legacy CSPM cost. For current plans and details, see the pricing page or contact us for a quote tailored to your environment.
The cloud (managed) option is the fastest way to get started — we run and maintain the platform for you. The self-hosted option runs CSPM.io inside your own environment so all data stays under your control, which is ideal for strict data-residency or compliance needs. Both deliver the same checks, AI capabilities and workflows.
All customers get onboarding help to connect accounts and tune what matters, plus documentation and ongoing product guidance. Teams with more demanding requirements can arrange enhanced support. Reach out through the contact page and we will match support to your needs.
The quickest path is to book a demo or reach out through the contact page, where our team can answer questions, scope a deployment and help you connect your first account. You can also explore the platform documentation and GitHub for technical details.
