Governance starts in code. With automated cloud policy enforcement at every stage—from pull request to apply—ControlMonkey delivers true cloud governance automation.
See Policies in Action
Out–of-the-box Policy Guardrails
ControlMonkey includes out-of-the-box policies for security, compliance, and tagging—covering standards like PCI DSS, NIST, and more—so teams can deploy safely on day one.
Enforce with GitOps
Every change runs through Terraform pipelines with proactive policy enforcement—catching misconfigurations at the pull request.
Periodic code scanning
ControlMonkey periodically scans existing Terraform code for misconfigurations, policy violations, and security risks—before they reach production.
Collaboration Space with Stacks
Give dev, security, and platform teams a shared view into delivery. Align on policy, track approvals, and resolve issues before changes ever hit production.

How ControlMonkey Improves Cloud Security Workflows
Effective shift left begins by measuring IaC coverage—bridging security and cloud teams with a common language.
Watch ControlMonkey vs. Misconfigurations
Prevent 50% of Production Issues
Catch misconfigurations, drift, and policy violations before code ever hits production, eliminating the vast majority of potential issues.
Proactive Security & Compliance
Enforce least-privilege access, encryption, tagging, and network controls at the CI/CD layer.
Reduce toil and build faster
Give developers instant feedback, self-service environments, and pre-approved infrastructure modules, eliminating bottlenecks.
Frequently Asked Questions on Shift Left Cloud Security and IaC Compliance
Shift Left Cloud Security means addressing risks earlier in the development lifecycle. It starts with IaC coverage visibility, ensuring that all cloud resources are provisioned and governed through code. Without this baseline, security and cloud teams can’t share a common language for enforcing compliance or reducing risk.
Terraform, OpenTofu or Terragrunt policy enforcement applies compliance as code directly in pipelines, blocking misconfigurations before deployment. By validating changes at the pull-request stage, organizations can reduce drift, enforce tagging and encryption standards, and achieve consistent governance across cloud environments.
ControlMonkey provides visibility into IaC coverage gaps, correlates those gaps with active security vulnerabilities, and guides precise, state-aware remediation. This empowers security and DevOps teams to reduce risk before it reaches production.
ControlMonkey enforces guardrails with out-of-the-box compliance policies, Terraform policy enforcement, and periodic IaC security scanning. By automating governance in code, it enables collaboration between cloud and security teams while ensuring infrastructure is secure by default.
