More Visibility: Cloud Compliance Dashboard

With customers like Rapyd, Coralogix, and ReasonLabs already benefiting from compliance visibility, ControlMonkey is raising the bar for proactive cloud governance.

For teams managing their Terraform, OpenTofu, or Terragrunt environments, compliance is often a moving target. The new Cloud Compliance Dashboard in ControlMonkey delivers a unified, drill-down view into your compliance posture across AWS, Azure, and GCP helping you identify gaps before they turn into risks.

Introducing Cloud Compliance Dashboarding

The Compliance Dashboard gives DevOps and Cloud managers the ability to select relevant standards, track consolidated scores, and drill down into failed controls and resources.

Supported frameworks include:

  • CIS Benchmarks (2.0, 2.1, 3.0)
  • PCI DSS 4.0
  • HIPAA Security Rule
  • MITRE ATT&CK
  • ENS_RD2022 (Spanish National Security Framework)
  • DORA Regulation
  • And more – Full List below

Teams can move from high-level compliance scores down to specific failed checks, pinpoint which resources triggered non-compliance (for example, an exposed EC2 instance), and shift compliance from reactive audits to proactive prevention.

Stay Ahead with Cloud Governance and Infrastructure Control

The dashboard provides decision-makers with measurable clarity. I Teams can continuously check compliance instead of just reacting to audit findings. They can enforce IaC policies on a large scale and strengthen infrastructure pipelines. This means:

  • Improved visibility into your compliance score
  • Reduced risk with drill-down checks at the resource level
  • IaC alignment through proactive enforcement
  • Scalable governance across multi-cloud environments

“When teams gain full visibility and proactive compliance controls, they stop reacting to problems and start preventing them. That’s how you consistently raise your compliance score.” said Ori Yemini, CTO, ControlMonkey

Customer Perspectives

More IaC coverage means fewer security issues — period. What stood out with ControlMonkey was how easy it became to do things the right, modern way. When infrastructure and security teams can finally collaborate by design, that’s when security actually works

        Stay in Control: Detect Console Operations on GCP

        Stay in Control: Detect Console Operations on GCP

        Managing cloud infrastructure at scale requires complete visibility into every change.
        But what happens when someone bypasses Terraform and modifies resources directly in the GCP console?

        These untracked console changes, AKA ClickOps, can lead to drifts, misconfigurations, compliance violations, and security risks. Without visibility into these actions, teams are left troubleshooting unexpected issues instead of proactively managing their cloud.

        Today, we’re excited to introduce ClickOps Scanner for GCP, a new capability for Google Cloud users that tracks and detects console operations across your GCP projects, ensuring that all infrastructure changes stay accounted for.

        ClickOps Scanner for GCP

        With ClickOps Scanner for GCP, ControlMonkey users can now:

        • Monitor every change in real-time across GCP projects, whether intentional or unexpected.
        • Resolve Terraform Drifts faster by quickly detecting the Cloud Event (ClickOps) that caused the configuration drift and shorten investigation and resolution times.
        • Ensure compliance and security by keeping a complete audit trail of all infrastructure changes made through code or the console.
        • Speed up debugging and root cause analysis. Quickly trace changes back to their source and understand the impact of every action.

         

        Bring Total Cloud Control to your GCP Environment

        Untracked console operations can create security risks and disrupt infrastructure stability.
        With ClickOps Scanner for GCP, you get a complete insight into every manual change, so nothing slips through the cracks.

          GCP Terraform Import Support

          Recently, our engineering team has been developing various GCP capabilities to enhance multi-cloud support for the ControlMonkey Platform. With comprehensive releases such as Inventory Dashboard and GCP IaC Coverage, our GCP users can now leverage more advanced Terraform Automation solutions to govern and automate their GCP environments.  Today we are happy to announce the General Availability of ControlMonkey’s Terraform Import Engine for GCP Users! GCP Terraform Import!

          New GCP Terraform Import

          Starting today, ControlMonkey users with old systems can easily move their GCP resources to Terraform. Our AI-powered Terraform Code Generator makes this simple.
          ControlMonkey’s Terraform Import Engine finds GCP resources that Terraform does not manage. It creates code that shows the resources’ current state with just one click.
          Our platform also generates the Terraform state file, so you don’t need to run any ‘Import’ commands or use any ‘Import’ blocks within your code and then run ‘Apply.’

          We use our Smart Stacking algorithm to find related resources. It can also create stacks that are ready to import.

          Importing 1000s of GCP resources to Terraform has never been easier:

          • Visualize how many resources are not managed with Terraform and their cost with the option to filter by region.
          • Select the stacks to import to Terraform and choose the import method. You can also search and filter by resource type.
          • Get a 100% verified Terraform code and state file that matches your resource’s configuration.

          TL,DR – Terraform Import and ControlMonkey

          The benefits of leveraging ControlMonkey’s Terraform Import Engine:

          1. Generate Terraform code in 75% less time.
          2. Increase Terraform coverage to 99%.
          3. Out-of-the-box automatic custom Terraform Module creation.
          4. Save thousands of DevOps hours by eliminating manual Terraform code writing.

          Do you have GCP infrastructure that you’re looking to shift to Terraform? ControlMonkey offers the easiest and most swift way to do it.

                GCP Terraform and OpenTofu Security Policies

                We are excited to announce another milestone in our support for multiple cloud providers, this time with a major enhancement to our Terraform CI/CD solution.
                Starting today, ControlMonkey’s Managed Security Policies are also available for Google Cloud users!

                These Security Policies are predefined, managed, and maintained by ControlMonkey.
                Rather than writing and maintaining common security policies with OPA, which also requires understanding the Terraform Plan output internals, you get managed security policies that are enforced whenever someone changes your Terraform code, right out of the box.

                Cloud Engineering teams can granularly select on which unit of deployment the Security Policy will be enforced, and also the enforcement level (warning or block).
                So if you need to separate and divide your policy enforcement across environments, you can easily do that with ControlMonkey.

                The benefits of Managed Security Policies:

                • You get a library of pre-defined security policies to choose from, straight out of the box.
                • Save time on writing, managing, and maintaining these policies, ControlMonkey does all the heavy lifting for you.
                • By shifting left your security, you are:
                  • Preventing security issues before they reach production
                  • Saving time on manual code review.
                  • Enable a proactive operations mode Vs. reacting to security misconfigurations.
                  • Educating Cloud Engineering teams on the organization’s security standards.

                If you’re using GCP today and looking to turn on your proactive mode, let’s talk.

                  Drift auto-sync

                  Today we are excited to announce the latest enhancement to ControlMonkey’s Drift Center, Drift auto-sync.

                  What is Drift auto-sync?

                  Our Drift Center helps DevOps teams identify and address discrepancies. These lie between the specified configuration in the Terraform, OpenTofu and Terragrunt code and the actual state of resources in the cloud environment.

                  Whenever a drift is detected and ‘Drift auto-sync’ is enabled, ControlMonkey will automatically trigger a deployment (reconciliation). This is to align the AWS resource (The “Actual State”) to the Terraform Code (The “Desired state”).

                  This feature is very similar to ArgoCD reconciliation capability.

                  The new capability is a checkbox configuration that is part of the stack’s configuration. This capability is included to all levels of subscription.

                  Drift auto-sync supports 2 types of Terraform Drifts:

                  1. Drift that originated from a configuration change that was made from the AWS, GCP or Azure console. This change was not from Terraform Apply.
                  2. Drift that originated from a change to a Terraform Data Source.
                    e.g An auto-scaling group configuration fetches an image ID from a Data Source and that image ID has changed. This occurs since the last deployment, causing the Auto-scaling group to drift because it has the old image.

                  What next?

                  So if your stack is heavily dependent on data sources and you want to validate that you are always using the latest values, then the Drift auto-sync is the ideal solution. It will automatically reconcile the resource and save you the trouble of manually resolving the drift.
