Cloud Configuration Drift Management
What is cloud configuration drift management?
Cloud configuration drift management monitors your cloud services and platforms for settings that deviate from your approved, secure configuration. As cloud environments change rapidly, this ensures your security posture stays consistent.
Why it matters
Cloud environments are especially prone to configuration drift because they're easy to change and those changes often happen without IT oversight. A misconfigured cloud setting can expose sensitive data or create security vulnerabilities without anyone noticing.
How we implement it
We define secure configuration baselines for your cloud platforms and deploy monitoring that detects deviations in real time. Unauthorized or unintended changes trigger alerts and, where possible, automatic remediation.
What your organization gets
Cloud Visibility
Always know the configuration state of your cloud environment.
Rapid Detection
Misconfigurations are caught quickly before they create real risk.
Automatic Correction
Many deviations can be corrected automatically without manual intervention.
Compliance Assurance
Maintain documented, consistent security configurations across all cloud services.
Common questions
What drifts in the cloud?
Settings in platforms like Microsoft 365: sharing rules, security defaults, permissions. Admins and integrations nudge them over time, and each nudge can quietly widen exposure.
How is cloud drift caught?
Daily automated audits compare your cloud configuration against the established security policy. Anything that has slipped is flagged and corrected, usually before anyone would have noticed.
We barely change settings. Do we still need this?
Changes are not just yours: vendor updates, new features arriving enabled, and connected apps all shift the ground. Drift monitoring watches the platform's movement, not just your own.
