The practice of configuring and maintaining a cloud environment so it continuously meets a required standard, such as CIS, NIST, PCI-DSS, or HIPAA, rather than passing a point-in-time audit and drifting out of scope afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cloud security compliance is the practice of configuring and maintaining a cloud environment so it continuously meets a required standard – such as CIS, NIST, PCI-DSS, or HIPAA – rather than passing a point-in-time audit and drifting out of scope afterward. Aryon helps by translating those requirements into enforceable policy, so configurations stay compliant as changes happen instead of being checked after the fact.
