RealCISO Launches Continuous Compliance: 309 Automated Checks Across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Okta

New integrations pull live configuration evidence every 4–24 hours and automatically evidence up to 57% of a full security assessment — no screenshots, no spreadsheets

BOSTON — RealCISO, the compliance intelligence platform for security leaders, MSPs, and vCISO practices, today announced continuous compliance integrations across the three major cloud providers and the identity and productivity platforms most organizations already run. Customers who connect Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Okta get automated, continuously refreshed audit evidence — collected directly from live configuration, evaluated against compliance checks, and mapped to the frameworks they’re accountable to.

The release delivers 110 evidence collectors querying more than 160 live data sources, feeding 309 automated pass/fail findings. Each collector pulls configuration from a connected system on a schedule — every 4 to 24 hours — and stores a point-in-time snapshot as audit evidence. Each finding evaluates that snapshot against a specific compliance check, such as whether all S3 buckets are encrypted, and surfaces the result against the customer’s assessment questions and frameworks.

Together, the integrations can automatically evidence 57% of RealCISO’s 289-question security assessment library without the customer uploading a single document. In technical domains — access control, platform security, monitoring — automated coverage runs 80 to 96%.

“Compliance evidence has been screenshots and spreadsheets assembled the week before an audit for as long as I’ve been doing this work. That’s paperwork, not security,” said Brian Haugli, CEO and co-founder of RealCISO. “Connect your cloud and your identity provider, and RealCISO checks the actual configuration every few hours — pass or fail, mapped to your frameworks. More than half of a full assessment evidences itself. Your team gets that time back to fix what’s actually broken.”

Per-integration coverage at launch:

– Microsoft Azure — 39 collectors, 106 findings: VMs, storage, SQL, Key Vault, networking, RBAC, backup, Defender, AKS, Cosmos DB

– Amazon Web Services — 32 collectors, 97 findings: IAM, S3, EC2, RDS, KMS, CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Secrets Manager, backup, security alerting

– Google Cloud — 19 collectors, 63 findings: IAM, Cloud SQL, GKE, KMS, firewall, logging and alerting, DNS, API keys, service accounts

– Microsoft 365 — 17 collectors, 37 findings: Entra ID identity and MFA, conditional access, privileged roles, SharePoint sharing, access reviews, device registration

– Google Workspace — 7 collectors, 19 findings: admin roles, 2SV/MFA, Drive external sharing, Gmail security, group governance, SSO

– Okta — 6 collectors, 12 findings: MFA enforcement, password and session policy, SSO coverage, network zones, device and access review

– RealCISO Platform — 5 collectors, 7 findings: policy reviews, risk register, vendor inventory, classifications and TPRM assessments

Entra ID identity coverage — MFA, conditional access, privileged roles — is delivered through either a Microsoft 365 or an Azure connection, so customers get identity findings from whichever they connect first.

Additional integration categories are in active development and will be released shortly, including mobile device management, endpoint detection and response, version control systems, task trackers, HRIS, security awareness training, and vulnerability scanners.

Continuous compliance integrations are available now to RealCISO customers. Organizations can see live findings against their own environment by connecting an integration from within the platform.
