What Cloudaware CSPM is
Cloudaware CSPM is a paid cloud security posture management platform available through web and API access. It combines CMDB context with checks across cloud and on-premises environments, continuously inventorying AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle resources. Misconfigurations are ranked using ownership, exposure, and blast-radius context. The platform supports ongoing CIS, NIST, ISO, PCI, and HIPAA assessments and maps them to UCF authority documents; GDPR is also listed among supported frameworks. Teams can create or customize policies, write YAML-based checks, or request custom checks. Findings can be routed to owners, synchronized with Jira, ServiceNow, Rally, or email workflows, and handled by playbooks that auto-fix common issues. Audit tools include exports, scorecards, policy diffs, and posture dashboards. A guided 30-day trial requires no credit card, while read-only permissions are required.
